Is this reasonable?

I never make these whiny *****y threads but I've just gotta rant... and I've got nowhere to go nor anything to do, so deal with it.
My high school sends out report cards every six weeks and has a grading period of six weeks. As a senior I failed English for the 5th of 6 six weeks with a 67 and gov. with a 69. My school sends a letter home saying I'm failing classes that i need to graduate. My overall average (the one my graduation is based on) is an 81 in english, and 78 in gov, the letter makes no mention of this. I'm taking 5 AP classes besides this I have A's and B's in these classes. My parents freak out and stop me from finishing the build I've spent around 1800 dollars on over the past year, take my car keys away, ground me for the rest of the school year and make me quit my job.

Do you think they're being reasonable? I'm missing Marley fest right now because of this crap, and they're also forcing me to volunteer at a homeless shelter... because I failed for one six weeks... and when they called my english teacher she complained about my behavior and says I'm too familiar with her (I make *** jokes in class).

No they are not. You are. They are doing their job and making decisions that are best for you.

Grading by the week with reports to your parents = short bus education?
