Oh I feel for you and your parent’ they are probably goin insane with worry. The sad fact is young people are not all as mature as yourself about just hw important their grades will be in the years to come. They don’t know just how competitive the job markets are out there. It kind of goes to the “it will never happen to me” theory and your brother probably just think what’s all the fuss about??? I’ll be right when the time comes….................sound about right. If he likes playing games etc on the computer rather than study then this is normal. Fter all a computer is instant and we see instant results that of which we do not see by studying as we have to put in all the hours of study then panic, stress about what may be in the exams to come even though they give us guidelines on what to study for or around. What heneeds is some kind of a plan or routine drawn up fr study time only then as a reward he gets to use his computer. If not then another way would be to scann what he needs to study into the computer so he can read and study off that and makes his study notes as he goes that way it may be more intersting for him. Another thing is for the School itself to et ex students or current students who are a few years above or in High Schol now to do a talk to the class on grades etc – if he sees it from another students point of view instead of an adults (where they feel we are just nagging about nothing), and you being his sister although sisterly love and all, he sees you in the same light no offence intended, but you can possibly see what I mean by this now. Hope this all helps in some way – if not there may possibly be other reasons why he’s being like this now???? who knows just a different approach and thinking outside the box sometimes helps. God Luck x
