physical geog which are your topics? I don't have syllabus to look at right now + there's more than 1 syllabus at the moment.
Be careful when you pick topics cos they do like to combine topics for questions as well.
eg. 1 question can have 2 topics that are related.
Eg. Climate & natural Vegetation, Rivers & Coasts.
Your topics are:Climate, Natural Vegetation, Rivers, Coasts, Plate Tectonics?
Hey wanting.. i can totally understand how you feel but you have to know O level is VERY IMPORTANT which may even change your life(as in your future career path la). I regret that i didnt put in enough effort for my O level that's why im forced to choose a course that i didnt like in poly. You can even say i have wasted three years in poly learning things that i know i wouldnt be applying in the future. So add loads of oil now and you can relax alot after your O level.![]()

i thought canning no longer exist since most parents nowadays spoil their kids mad crazy
given me, i also would not bear to cane my child
Good grief. This reminds me of the way I was brought up too.
I believe corporal punishment only works when the child is still incapable of understanding why and where he or she went wrong - toddler stage.
Once they are old enough to know they make a mistake, then they are old enough to understand why they shouldn't make that mistake and shouldn't make it again.
Caning at your age will only serve to make you feel ashamed and humiliated by your mother. It doesn't matter where the cane marks are, the damage done is more then just physical.
Will caning undo the bad results? Will caning make you smarter? How long more can she continue to use the cane on you? Till you get bad grades for poly or JC, right up to Uni? Rather then caning you, why don't you share with your mother why your grades are not up to the mark, and how she can help you improve? If she believes caning is the only alternative, I can only say that she too, failed in her role as a mother to try and understand and help you the way a mother should.
You are old enough to differentiate what is right and wrong. You know things does not have to be this way. Your mum may have chosen the wrong way of showing her love for you, but you can also let her know how the caning affected you and that shouldn't be the way to go to improve your results.
Pick a good time, sit down with her and ask for her understanding. This is a stressful time for you, and you need more care and support then this sort of treatment.
