Growing up can be filled with ups and downs, joys and disappointments. Junior seems to be feeling the latter at the moment. He might even have had an argument with his parents when they saw his grade. But now that the dust has settled, he really talks and they really listen, offering some good advice at the same time. Sometimes, it's those warm talks that make growing up not so hard after all. ◕‿◕
You know what, everyone has to fail now and then. Better to learn how that feels and how to do better on a school paper than on something much bigger that's harder to fix! Love the emotions and story portrayed here. :)
