Reply To: Why brag about bad grades?

Basically, it’s a form of rebellion, just like smoking weed or getting a tattoo. I was an F student back in my junior high and high school days. The first time I got an F, I freaked out, and I knew my parents were going to kill me. Sure enough, I caught plenty of heat, and I suffered the consequences. But after my fourth report card in a row with Ds and Fs, it became a thrill. My friends and I would compare report cards and give props to the one with the worst grades. To make the point in one sentence: Such kids think they have no future in the ‘legitimate’ real world, and bad grades are a badge of defiance against what their teachers and parents (sometimes just teachers) want them to be. The badder your grades, the badder you are.
