Like a lot of the members here, if I got a 'C' in middle school or high school, is was basically "eternal damnation destruction rains from the heavens" from my parents. It wasn't even an option. Bs were cutting it close, my parents expected As no matter what, no matter hard the class. I think it helped out a lot too in the long run. So far my GPA is 3.72 at my university, having made only a few Bs and mostly As, no Cs at all. The opportunity was there to make Cs....but I pulled through and made As because of how bad I felt making a C (aftershocks of my parent's ridicule). I've seen a lot of people (in college especially) make Cs because they just don't care enough and weren't ridiculed by their parents to make As. So I consider Cs to be really bad in almost all situations.
