I failed out of College, my Gpa dropped below 2 for 2 semesters straight and i had a letter and email sent informing me of my said failure. I, of course, appealed and luckily i was accepted for the appeal, i have been in the remedial program for said college for about a month now without telling my parents. earlier today i received a text from my brother informing me my parents had discovered the letter of dismissal. i have not yet returned to my home and am writing this after my last class of the day. I am quite afraid of what they will say when i return home. I ma unsure of what to do or say, i am unsure of if they have even read the letter. I know in my bones i would have had to tell theme eventually as on of the classes i failed is required to graduate but I don't know what to do
any advice for me before i go to face the music?
TL;DR: failed out of college but appealed successfully, have yet to tell my parents. they found the original letter of dismissal, haven't yet returned home.
Update:
Got home and talked to my parents, they are upset with me but it was not nearly as bad as i expected, they said they would continue to support me but I am expected to in the future hold down a job to pay for what I can in regards to tuition in the meantime.
They said I have to look at if college is really want i wish to do going forward, they expect me to at least complete the current semester then, if i want to, drop out and seek other options like the military.
They want me to be honest, no matter how badly I fuck up, going forward.
They said they don't care what i'm doing so long as i'm doing something.
Thank you all for replies.
