How do i calm my parents down?
my parents are the strictest parents in the world. Last year i failed a class and they yelled at me for hours and days and took away my iPod and forbid me from using computers and never let me leave the house and when i wake up they just yell some more and man, it was awful like they never physically hit me, but for months straight thats how things were. They acted as if they hated me Pretty much anything lower than an 80% is bad to them. I have a 48% in french, 70% in english, 60% in math, and 62% in contemporary. This is awful.
Thing is its not that i struggle with the course. Its just my teachers give these 8 page tests and we only got an hour to do them. my parents wont take that as an excuse. they wont take anythin as an excuse. They will see the grades and i will be in another miserable 4-6 month again. Im really scareeeddd :$ How do i calm them and me down??

I can see their point. An 8 page test, if everyone in the class fails them, is an issue. But if most of the other kids do well enough, then they can be completed in time.
People survive strict parents. Hunker down, and really try to study and bring up your grades, and that will do more than all the talking in the world.
Or possibly, if you doubt your ability to even achieve an average score in all your classes, ask them if they could help you find a tutor. That may be a good way to help get your grades up.
