Are my parents being unfair? They won't let me spend my OWN hard-earned money if I fail two brutally hard classes.
This is my first year of high school, and it's proving very difficult, as I'm in Spain and it's really complicated. So far this year I've failed two subjects, math and physics (I'm doing the technology track). The other subjects are generally around a good grade. The thing is, in my entire class, except for 5 or 6 people (there are 32 of us in math) and 3 people in physics (there are 16 of us) who have been passing with a 5 (out of 10), the rest of us are all failing. This year I've been working as a tutor for primary and secondary school children, and I've also been a coach for about four months, plus a job in December at a football goalkeeping camp. With these jobs, I was able to buy my first electric scooter. About a month ago, it was stolen. The thing is, before it was stolen, I was going to buy an iPhone since mine broke in January. With the scooter theft, I had to add another scooter to my shopping list. I want to buy all of this with my own money, without any help. My mother has offered to help me buy it since it was stolen, but nothing is certain yet. The thing is, my parents say they won't let me buy anything, not even with my own money, if I fail those two subjects. Right now, I still have to retake the exams. I'm working really hard and studying for many hours, but if I don't pass them, I think it would be unfair if I couldn't buy these things with all the effort I've put into working and never neglecting my studies.
