Dear Abby
marji
Hi, Folks!!! Look, I'm a totally sleep deprived person, having been in the
recording studio all week this week and having only gotten no more than 3
hours of sleep each night all week and mostly only 2 hours (like this
morning). I'm gonna get some sleep tonight and that will be a good thing,
but in the meantime, I saw today's "Dear Abby," and one item begs a
response from an informed person whose neurons are firing and not all soggy
and damp. I have pasted the unfortunate thing here. Swallow whatever your
drinking now so you don't spit your beverage out all over your keyboard and
monitor. Ready? Here goes:
----------
DEAR ABBY: I am an 11th-grade girl, and I need your advice on what to tell
my parents when my report card comes in June. My GPA has dropped big-time
since the last one, and they have both been nagging me to study harder.
My mom and dad don't understand what it's like for me at school. Keeping my
grades up has become more difficult because I don't have the motivation to
immerse myself in the mandatory curriculum. I have no need whatsoever for
those boring academic requirements.
The one thing I'm good at is art -- drawing and painting -- and I can do
that on my own. Sometimes I wonder why I need high school at all. I'd love
to have a break from it. How can I clue my parents in to what I'm all
about, Abby? -- FRUSTRATED TEEN IN VERMONT
DEAR FRUSTRATED TEEN: I suspect your parents are going to know what you are
all about once they see your report card. Every student, at one time or
another, has had the same feelings. But the smart ones accept the reality
that in order to succeed and be independent, they must, at the very least,
have a high school (or equivalent) diploma. The time to get it is now. So
buckle down in your senior year and lift your grade point average. Art
schools require well-rounded students.
----------
Send your response (if you are so inclined)
to: <http://www.uexpress.com/dearabby/dearabby_form.html>www.DearAbby.com
I wish one could write directly to "Frustrated Teen" and her "Frustrating
Parents."

Poor girl!
**Art

The sad thing is that so many people believe this stuff!
Marji,
Will you be in SC? Will you have some of your recordings with?
