Is it wrong to be sad and upset over a grade you get in college? I mean, if you get a lower grade than you expected. Is it wrong to cry over it? Is it bad to lose motivation because of it?

And how can I help myself to be motivated again and work harder for a better grade?

I already work hard enough. Do I just need to learn to deal with critizism which is the comments that teacher writes to me for why I got a certain grade?

Does anyone else feel that a lower grade and comments that come with it do not make me want to work harder for a better grade?

It most definitely isn't wrong to be upset over a grade. To me, that just makes me want to work harder so I never feel like that ever again. Sometimes it takes a little time to get back on track after a bad grade, but you can do it. I mean, if it has affected you so profoundly, then of course you will do fine. Sorry for the random comment...

No problem.. I'm actually dealing with that right now. In one of my classes, I am coming very close to being put on academic probation...

It does, but it's also challenging me to work harder.

Thanks to you I worked hard to get my this week's homework done for my Developmental Writing class. During this semester I'll still have two essays and one research paper to write, which are my main concerns but ofcourse there are many others.

I've been sad over low grades in college many times! I work really hard and expect to recieve a good grade but get lower then I expected, I almost always felt like giving up and not trying anymore, b/c what's the point right?? But I can't give up, I'm not a quiter. So I just work 2x as hard. And its college...if its undergrad it doesnt really matter what your GPA is unless you plan on going to Grad School
