Explain them ! sometimes telling the truth works better than just lying or creating something to say because they could find out you were lying.

when it comes to college semesters all you can do is start working hard for now on out and tell your parents the truth that it was new to you and you got involved in the fun and lost track of the studies but you promise you will work harder at it. it worked for me

just let them know, the sooner you tell them then you sooner you will get it out of the way, remember, this is only your first semester, I’m a 3rd year student and i failed ALL my science classes this semester (biology, chemistry, earth science, and physics II), my mom said she didn’t care beacuse this was only one semester and it basically wouldn’t affect me getting a job in the future, and she knows i hate science (i’m a fashion business and design major). Your parents will probably get upset but by next semester they won’t care. Hope things work out, oh and by the way… I run a modeling agency if ur interest in modeling, you’d have to move to San Antonio though

Explain to them why you won’t get the grades you could have earned.Immediately tell them that you are considering transferring to a more affordable school.I know many people in your situation.It must suck going from a private school to a community college. You should have done things the other way around . Thats what im doing.You’ll be fine .If you have understanding parents you shouldn’t worry much.They will definately be mad but they will get over it sooner or later.Good luck.

Just dont tell your parents your grades. Just let them know that you passed all your classes but that you think tuition is outrageous so you’d rather take the smart route to education and go to a CC and then transfer into another school. It really is the smartest way to get an education. Unless you get accepted to an ivy league or something. BTW you are very pretty. get in contact with me i’ll give you some more advice. I’m a first year college student as well. Colandres2005@yahoo.com

if you cant pass a driving test, how can you realistically do well in college? driving tests are basic, designed to be a little challenging for a 16 yr old.
if you want to do it, just focus

Not having a drivers license is no excuse. There are trains, buses, etc… All it means is you have to get up extra early to make sure you get to school on time.
Ur parents are going to freak out on you and they have reason to.
You don’t sound very responsible at all. In fact, I don’t think you even belong in college or as a nurse. Nursing have to pay VERY CLOSE attention to details, have to ANTICIPATE problems to ensure that problems never arise.
You are so immature you can’t pass your dirving test, you can’t get yourself to school on time and you can’t get good grades.
YOU SHOULD NOT BE A NURSE because you are so irresponsible you will end up killing someone – which will cause you to go to prison for a very long time.

Your parents pay fifteen thousand dollars a semester for college, but they can’t find a way for you to get to school? The best way to deal with parents is to tell them exactly what you said in your post. Not a lot of people do well there first semester of college, you shouldn’t worry about it too much.
