Parents, for the umpteenth time.

My parents have completely turned my life upside down.

Back in eighth grade, I was a straight A student, with a 4.0 GPA. I tested well and got 100% on all of my quizzes, and surprisingly never Lost any of my pens. par the end of the third quarter however, my grades had dropped to B- and C's.

Three of my six required classes are either D's ou F's because of this depression, and there are too many missing assignments in German and Geometry for me to complete at one time. It's not that I don't try, it's that I don't have the energy to. I know that I'm smart, and I know I can do it if I try my best, but this depression has really
