In the beginning of middle school, in 6th grade, I knew that I wasn't going to be one of those people who come up to her teachers begging for a better grade. I haven't done any begging and I'm still going to graduate.
I hope this year, when I do graduate, that I won't feel bad for all my friends who don't. I struggle right now to keep some of my friends on track, but then I think it's not my fault, it's theirs. One of my friends says that she doesn't want her kids to end up like her parents. She wants them to finish middle school, take everything seriously and actually make a difference in life and in their family. I want the same for my kids.
We hope this blog will encourage Reed students to speak their minds and respond to each other in a friendly, safe, environment. We hope it will bring students closer together and help students meet new people that they didn't even know existed at our school. This blog will be run by students with a little help from teachers. It will be run by us because we know exactly what we feel, and we want to know and understand each other. This blog is a new way to share what is going on around school.

Yea, well, I haven't begged either, but I know I got "b"s when I should have been given "a"s.
Can you negotiate, rather than beg? That's nice of you to encourage your friends, they probably appreciate it on some level.
It's always good to try best and not be a begger, you just have to accept the grade you got. I think that your freinds should and did appreciate it when you encouraged them to do better in school. That is a good freind. Natassja A
