And yes, we DO give a lot of weight to grades because we want to get good jobs. And don't quote stuff from movies scratcher.

I'm here to chew bubble gum and kick brainwashed religionists in the ass. And I'm all out of bubble gum.

' idiot who doesn't recognize her religion and chats up strangers on te internet'.

Change "her" to "his" and you could be talking about yourself. You're insulting your sister and your family by badmouthing her on the internet. Consequently, doing that actually says much more about yourself than your sister.

See the difference. High School shoot. High School grades. Bad grades aren't the end of the world but they ruin your own world

They don't. Like Marpro clarified, failing at school right now doesn't mean she is going to fail at school always, much less that she's going to fail at life. There are plenty of things she could do even without having super grades in subjects like Math, Physics and History.

But the importance of school isn't really my point, the point is how you confront it.

By all means, encourage your sister to do better at school, but freaking out about it and being all judgemental isn't going to help. Saying that she's going to fail at life or burn in hell isn't going to help. If anything, that's going to alienate her from your religion, school, your family and yourself even more.

In case the above sounds too polite, I'll finish with this: There's a difference between supporting a family member and being a nagging little she dog.
