telling parents about bad grade stories

There are parents who might get angry right away. They could raise their voices and start scolding, thinking that you didn't study hard enough. However, after they calm down, they might also give advice on how to improve.

One way is to be honest and straightforward. Just say, 'Mom, Dad, I got a bad grade on this test.' And then quickly follow up with what you've learned from it, like 'I know I didn't study enough and I'm going to do better next time.'

One way is to write them a letter. You can carefully explain your situation, like 'Dear Mom and Dad, I'm sorry to say I got bad grades. I was having trouble understanding some of the concepts in class.' It gives you time to organize your thoughts and they can read it when they're ready.

Choose the right time to tell them. Don't do it when they're stressed or in a hurry. Maybe after dinner when everyone is relaxed. Begin by saying something positive like 'I really like my school and my teachers, but I need to talk to you about my grades. They're not as good as I hoped. I think it was because I had a lot of distractions lately, but I'm going to work hard to eliminate those distractions and focus more on my studies.' This approach eases them into the bad news and also shows your determination to improve.

One benefit is that it helps kids relax. After a long day, a bedtime story can calm a child down.

Maybe she has a really close relationship with them and wants to share those memories.

Yes, it can be. If you're always telling tall stories, people may stop believing you and it can damage your credibility.

People with ADHD might be bad at telling stories because they often have trouble with organization. Their thoughts can be scattered, making it hard to structure a story in a logical way. For example, they may jump from one part of the story to another without proper transitions.

It's a baseless assumption. Women have as much talent and creativity for storytelling. Maybe some people have had limited exposure to good storytellers who happen to be women, but that doesn't mean they are generally bad at it.

First, focus on having a clear beginning, middle, and end. Then, make the characters interesting and relatable. And don't forget to add some suspense or surprises to keep your audience engaged.
