Q: This past quarter of high school I let a lot of missing assignments get out of hand because I was focusing on studying music. As a result, I'm now barely passing a couple of my academic classes. I'm worried about what my parents will say when they find out, as they have very high standards for me, but they know that I plan on studying music in college and my grades in all of my music classes are really good.  Should I be worried about my grades in classes not pertaining to the career field I plan on pursuing? Should I consider this a waking call to do better academically next semester, or continue focusing more on my music? Should I even be worried about what my parents say, or focus on what's more important to me personally?
A: i know absolutely nothing about the academic world. but being confused at this time in your life will hopefully lead to some interesting discoveries
