Once you and your parents have worked things out, try to do better moving forward. You can prevent getting punished for bad grades by keeping your grades reasonably high. To do so, work on bettering your study habits. Improve your organizational skills. Use a weekly planner or calendar to keep track of upcoming tests and quizzes. Try to have different binders or folders for notes for your various classes. Study in a location free of distractions, like a coffee shop or library. Turn off your cellphone and other electronics before studying. Bring all the materials you need with you when you go to study. Study in short intervals. Trying to cram too much in one session can be daunting. Study in 40 to 50 minute blocks, taking 5 to 10 minute breaks in-between. You should also strive to keep up with your homework, as homework assignments go towards your overall grade. Try to do your homework after school each day, before you engage in any fun activities like seeing friends or playing video games. You should also be upfront with your parents about your homework, letting them know what is due and when. You can also write down homework assignments in your calendar or planner to make sure you remember to do them on time. Transparency is important to evade punishment. If your parents are concerned about your grades, they will want to keep track of your progress. Talk to your teacher about getting regular progress reports detailing how you're doing in a particular class. You can bring these home to your parents to show them evidence that you're working on keeping your grades up. Abuse needs to be reported. Hopefully, you'll have recruited the help of a trusted adult who can help you alert the authorities of the situation. You may have to report what's been happening to a police officer, therapist, or another authority figure. It can be emotionally devastating to report abuse, but it's worth it for your own health and well-being. How things will unfold after abuse is reported depends on your situation. You may be temporarily placed in a foster home or have to stay with relatives. Your parents may be required to attend counseling to work through certain issues. The experience of reporting abuse is very stressful. However, remember that abusive situations are not sustainable longterm. It's necessary for you and your parents to get professional help in the event abuse is occurring.

summary: Improve your study habits. Keep up with your homework. Ask your teacher for regular progress reports. Report abuse.

The inch PVC pipe is sold in 10 foot sections. Use a measuring tape and permanent marker to divide the pipe into three 40 inch sections. Cut the pipe into three equal sections with a hacksaw or fine tooth jigsaw. Use your saw to cut a notch 1 inch in length into the top of the pipe. Flip the PVC pipe over. Cut a second 1 inch long notch on the opposite end of the PVC Pipe in alignment with the first notch. Tie a knot in one end the nylon rope. The knot should be thick enough so that it will not slip through the notch you created. Burn the end of the knot with a lighter to prevent the rope from fraying. The process of stringing the bow requires a bit of patience and some muscle. Insert the rope into the top notch so that the knot is situated inside the pipe. Pull the string tightly down the length of the bow. Cut the rope 5 inches beyond the bottom of the pipe. Tie a knot in the rope approximately 4 inches from the end and burn the ends. Like the first knot, the second knot should be thick enough so that it does not slip through the notch. Bend the pipe and slide the rope into the bottom notch so that the knot is situated inside the pipe. Wrap a piece of duct tape around each end of the bow to prevent the string from moving. Place the 6 inch piece of pipe foam around the PVC pipe at its center. Bring together the two edges of the pipe foam. Place a zip tie over each end of the pipe foam to secure it in place. Cut the ends off of the zip tie with a pair of scissors. To create arrows, you will need dowels, 2 inch thick home insulation foam, a hot glue gun, and a knife. Use a sharp knife to create 3 inch x 3 inch triangles out of the 2 inch home insulation foam. Insert the dowel into the center of one of the triangle's three sides. Remove the dowel, coat the end with hot glue, and reinsert the dowel into the foam arrow head. Slit the end of the dowel with a sharp knife. The slit makes it easier to string the arrow.
summary: Cut the PVC Pipe. Cut two notches into the PVC Pipe. Prepare the nylon rope. String the bow. Create a hand grip. Create arrows.
