Speaking from my own experience, yes, a C is a horrible grade. My parents didn't rain damnation on me or anything, but the expectations were made quite clear. By the time I got into college, I expected nothing less for myself. My "average" grade was an A. I remember I got a B one time (in a painting class, of all things) and I was so upset I quit school for a year. I hate to think what would have happened if I had got a C. I probably would have figured I was useless as a human being, moved out of town, and got a job at a carwash.
