1. my parents say the same thing! (except they don't ground me, they just pressure me into getting better grades if i drop below a 90). what i do is make sure i invite people over on friday nights and saturdays but then dedicate ALL of sunday to homework. i literally wake up, eat breakfast, take a shower, and work on my homework from 10:30 AM to 5:30 PM. I go to a private school and we get TONS of homework, about 8 hrs on the weekend and 2-4 hrs on weekdays. so, just invite friends over, go to as many parties as you can, try not to act like a geek, and try to have time to call or IM your friends after school. it works for me!
2. Make sure you apply yourself when you are at school. Usually there are a few minutes here and there when you can get assignments done, as I recall. Do you take a study hall? Go out with friends Friday and Saturday and study on Sunday. Maybe you are taking too many extracurricular activities or trying to keep down a job besides? That's too much! Make sure you pay really close attention in class, and then your homework won't take so long. Good luck!
3. I knew a girl like that. Her father said, "You are going to Harvard or you are not going to any college." And she did go to Harvard.... but she hated her family. Yeah, she didn't balance school with friends. She basically did school and had a limited social life... but she did succeed in school. It sounds like you do need to limit your social life.
