Girlfriend got bad grade and her parents won’t let her go out with me now, what do I do?
So basically my girlfriends parents found out she got a D in one of her term classes, and now because of that they aren’t letting her go out with me anymore. All of her other grades are A’s and B’s and so are mine, so I don’t see what the big deal is. I understand there needs to be punishment but this seems kind of harsh especially considering it’s still a passing grade. I just need advice on what to do because I have a problem of overthinking everything and would appreciate some outside opinion. Thanks.

If her other grades are As & Bs, she is a capable student and something is wrong that she is getting a D in a class and she needs to concentrate on bringing that grade up a bit as its a blight on her record.
Her parents are thinking about her future and want her to do well. Sacrificing part of her social life may rectify that and there isnt anything you can do really.
Well first of all, why does someone deserve punishment for getting a D? I never punished my kids for their grades. I did require them to study the subject every day for 20 - 45 minutes at home, and sometimes i talked with their teacher about it.
You cant do anything about her parents grounding her for a while. Im sure they will get over it sooner or later and you 2 will be able to see each other again. just give it some time
You wait until the next grading period until her grades improve and she asks her parents for permission to go out again. This is not punishment for bad grades; it is discipline to learn how to function in real life.
You’re a distraction obviously.
chances are this has nothing to do with her grades, her parents are just finding any possible reason to get rid of you because they don't like you
How much time did you two spend together? If you spent a lot of time together then you can understand why her parents forbade her from seeing you. Are you in the same class as she and did you get a D? If you are in the same class as she but got a passing grade, maybe you can offer to tutor your GF. Are you certain that the parents said she cannot go out with you "anymore"? which seems rather harsh to me. I could understand if the parents said that she couldn't go out with you until her grade improves. Obviously the parents blame you for her bad grade. If you spent too much time together, then maybe you can talk to her parents to see if maybe she spends a certain amount of days studying but spends less time with you. The parents seem to consider you a bad influence on their daughter. Are you? Let her be until she improves her grade and then maybe the parents will allow her to go out with you again.
