I got really bad end of the year grades and it's been about a month since I got it taken away. Since it's no longer within the school year I don't know how to earn it back. I think what my mother did was reasonable, I'm not angry with her but I feel like I could earn it back. She said I never really earned the laptop, so I asked her how I could earn it and she said "Its too late to change your grades now." And I don't wanna wait until next school year, I feel like if I tell her I could earn it some way that she'll get frustrated with me and I'll never get it back, if I ever had a chance before that would happen. I don't want to make things worse or awkward. She and I started getting along and talking a lot again not to long ago. I think she trusts me but not fully. How can I earn it back without making her more mad or ruining my relationship with her and my chances of ever using it again?
