Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I need some help bad.
My mom has practically given up on me. I'm a junior in high school, and I'm struggling in school. I've been going to tutoring, but I just can't seem keep up with the pace. All my classmates can do the work so fast, and get A's and I work slow, and I end up getting a C or a D. As we speak, I am studying my ass off. It's very hard to keep up with school, play sports, and take care of my snakes for my upcoming breeding season. I wanna talk to my mom about it, but she really doesnt want to hear it from me, and I can't really get my words together. What exactly should I say to her? I have a plan, just can't put it into words.
Your advice is important, thank you for taking time to read this

I Algebra, there's nothing else you can do besides drill that stuff inside your head.
With English, have you every thought about bumping down to the regular English? When I was in High School, I took honors, and the only difference from that and the regular class was the honors gives more homework and moves way quicker.

If you are doing poorly in school, I can understand your mother's frustration. I'm not going to downplay the importance of other interests (sports, and reptiles, for example); however, school should be a priority....and if you are struggling, you really need to consider whether you are overextending yourself.
Some people are just not "A students"; but when I was in school, acceptable grades had to be maintained by any student participating in the sports programs. It was that simple.
Also, if you are struggling to keep your grades, do sports, and take care of your animals; breeding should probably be put on a back burner until things are more settled for you. It doesn't sound like adding a bunch of babies is your best interest right now.

Acknowledging that, perhaps you shouldn't have bred them....and it would probably be considered common sense to not add to the pain by doing more pairings this coming season (since your original post indicated you were getting ready for breeding season).
Best of luck with your animals, and your studies.

I agree with Stephen's idea of considering switching to a regular english class. English is a TOUGH class, especially if you have a tough teacher.
I also agree with Harald about the breeding...I think it was pretty irresponsible to breed your southern hognose snakes, knowing that there's so much other stuff that takes up most of your time.
