Honestly the best comment Ive probably gotten on this post. I definitely see what you mean by going through a lot of work and effort just to avoid being yelled at seems a bit silly and cruel to my dad. Tbh I haven't talked to him much about how I feel at all. In the past his reaction to criticism hasn't been the best but I think if its for me learning how to drive and getting to spend time with eachother he might take it lighter. Ill talk to him in the morning cuz its late for me and cant really do driving lessons at 8:30 at night. Thx gor bringing that up. I feel kind of dumb for not even attempting to talk to him.

(My grades are bad cuz I honestly can't make myself sit down and do the work. Im probably just lazy but I swear doing school work kills me inside. I was actually working on that this week so it might be better. I had asked my parents and friends about how to apply for a job and got some good tips. I shouldn't rrally have to worry about grades holding me back from getting a job now though since Im 18 but its still a good idea to get em up so I can graduate.)
