For as long as I've been in school, they've given out numbers and letters. But the good thing with numbers is that you can just figure out the letter grade you'd get. For example, a 92% = A-. I haven't progressed very far in middle school, but so far it's been A's and A+'s.
And like BG, I'm also never good enough for myself. And it drives me insane. But my father has drilled the idea in my head that if I don't get 100s every time, I'm a complete failure. And yet my mother is the complete opposite. Although both got incredibly good grades in school, my mom thinks that grades don't matter as long as you learn, you understand the material, and try your best. So I break down all the time for not having a perfect result.
"I am a size 00-0 SHORT!"
Me too!
Except...my mom hems all my clothing. So I consider myself lucky.
And whoever said that thing about Dora embroidered on their pants...I agree completely. I would still be shopping in the girls section because it fits me better, but you either have a choice of the Disney Princesses, or having ANGEL or FOXY, or DADDY'S GIRL plastered all over your clothing. It's a terrible thing, really.
