buddyholmes Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 I'm 21, a premed senior in college. My girlfriend is a junior at the same school and wants to be a high school chem teacher. We've been together a year. Lately she's been getting all C's and is very upset. Everytime I speak to her she tells me her latest bad grade and how upset its making her. I know she is going through a very rough time, but I can't relate very well. I have a 3.8 GPA and have gotten all A's and only about 3 B's in courses throughout our whole time at college. I love her but it has been hard to relate to her academically. We can't share in our joys of high grades and I don't have time to help her with her subjects (not that I want to, because helping her in the past has made me feel like her parent as opposed to her equal). Any insight into our situation? Link to post Share on other sites
quankanne Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 offer to help her find a tutor if she feels she could benefit from having one. Then be supportive in other little ways, like sending her a nice card or buying her flowers or chocolate ... or even taking a little time out and taking her someplace unexpected where she's got your undivided attention. That won't make her grades get better, but it sends a very strong signal that you care about her enough to help her through this bad patch by doing little things to cheer her up.
