(6:40:10 PM) Dunas: Okay.
(6:40:15 PM) Dunas: I had to call my Algebra teacher.
(6:40:18 PM) Dunas: This was not a choice.
(6:40:19 PM) Dunas: I had to.
(6:40:21 PM) Jedi Zero X: uh huh...
(6:40:26 PM) Dunas: It had to happen as SOON AS POSSIBLE.
(6:40:37 PM) Dunas: My parents also had to get in touch with her.
(6:40:47 PM) Dunas: So they're nagging me as usual about it.
(6:41:08 PM) Dunas: And as usual, I get tense and try to tell them to stop nagging and let me get the stupid number so we can make the call.
(6:42:10 PM) Dunas: "No! No." And they continue to go on and on about how me trying to walk away was disrespectful (trying to go to my room to get the number), how I need to RECOGNIZE that the problem is my fault (I had been focusing so hard on getting History done over the past three weeks, I forgot to submit work) and how I need to ACCEPT it (which I had- two ******** days ago.)
(6:42:36 PM) Dunas: So finally, as those under pressure tend to do when prodded, I snapped and came [] close to shouting at them to shut up.
(6:42:51 PM) Dunas: They told me to go to my room, leaving the phone behind, and calm down before calling.
(6:42:59 PM) Dunas: So I go to my room, and I'm sitting here.
(6:43:08 PM) Dunas: And I'm perfectly calm.
(6:43:17 PM) Dunas: So I get my cell phone and call the teacher.
(6:43:56 PM) Dunas: Because I knew I had to get it done "as soon as possible". Also, because I felt that if we waited, one or both of us would forget, and then we'd really be screwed.
(6:44:28 PM) Dunas: I have a nice, pleasant talk with her, detailing what needs to be done to salvage my position in the class and so on. She's nice, I'm calm and polite, everything goes perfectly.
(6:44:47 PM) Dunas: I hang up and go out into the living room.
"You called her on your cell phone, didn't you?"
"Yes I did."
(6:45:19 PM) Dunas: What proceeds is my parents both acting as though I'd just told them to ******** off several times. Shouting about how disrespectful and arrogant it was for me to do what they'd both been nagging me to do.
(6:45:31 PM) Dunas: This lasts... oh, a good ten minutes.
(6:46:05 PM) Dunas: I can't escape so I nearly snap again, because despite trying to keep myself from doing so, they manage to get me more tense than a fully stretched rubber band.
(6:47:10 PM) Dunas: Ultimately, they take the phone away from me, and my dad at the least practically yells that he's not calling the teacher, and basically "HA, SO THERE. MY SON IS GONNA FAIL BECAUSE I CAN'T ACKNOWLEDGE HE WAS RIGHT AND I WAS WRONG."
(6:48:10 PM) Dunas: Apparently, taking the initiative and doing what I know needs to be done is the most disrespecful, arrogant, conceited thing I've ever done.
(6:48:50 PM) Dunas: So... yeah. Watch as I amazingly fail for no reason aside from my dad being a giant a*****e!
