haha it depends on your relationship with the teacher, if the teacher likes you then yeah great, if not you might want to make it more formal.

I really don’t know if she likes me or not. It’s a little bit of both or neither O_o. Yeah, I think I’ll make it more formal then…unless humoring her would be good? Because I think it’s pretty funny is a stupid way..

I agree. Also, I wouldn’t write so many negative things about yourself because it reflects bad things about you. Instead, write a positive and encouraging apology letter all teachers like to read and make it short: “I am sorry for not doing and submitting my science fair project. I have no excuse other than I was lazy. I am giving my word to make it up because I know I can. Please give me a chance to prove myself”.

Hmm..Okay. I’ll revise it. Thanks for the advice.

You are welcome and good luck. Trust yourself, you can do it.

I am sorry for not doing my science project. I have two reasons for writing this, in a way. I am really sorry for being so indolent, and my dad instigated the making of this letter by telling me to write one. I have been having lots of stress from various sources which heightens the level of my laziness. I don’t have and excuse, really, but I hope I can stop my tendency to neglect work like this and try to make it up. Thank you for reading this.

How’s that, now? Sorry, but I’m so unsure…

i think youre still putting yourself down so much. WHy cant you just talk to her?

I tried to talk, but my heart was beating so quick and I felt like I was going to faint…

jesus, she must be one scary teacher.

This person arrayed it perfectly. You don’t have to elaborate on your failures because essentially, it will sound like your are trying to invoke sympathy. Simply state your deficiencies in a concise manner, then advocate your improvement if granted a second chance.

Not really. I just get really nervous and scared like that.

Well, I don’t want to make any promises…and I’m afraid that I’m probably going to slip like this again somewhere, sometime. Then, I’ve broken a promise to her and myself. I will feel even worse than I would..Thank you all for the advice again. I’ll cut out a few unnecessary things and make it short and sweet, I guess.

Then just take out the “I am giving my word to make it up because I know I can.” and just state “please give me another chance”. You don’t have to be so much in detail about what’s going on with you and you don’t have to tell your dad told you to write this. Today’s world is so competent, you must learn to fend for yourself. Don’t give up so easily on the thoughts of I will fail anyway attitude. You teach yourself to be a failure unconsciously. Why?

Goodluck. Most teachers, if they recognize the sincerity in your words, then they will stipulate if the circumstances are expedient.
