Hi I'm Dee. I'm 23 and married. I've worked in health care as well as office settings but am now a home-maker. I'm knowledgeable in a variety of subjects but don't mind doing a little research if asked about something I don't know about. Most of my friends come to me for advice. I read several advice columns and would like to help you also. I'm not judgemental. Your life is yours to live it as you choose. I believe asking for advice is good, but ultimately the choice is yours. You WILL NOT find a hurtful or smartass answer here.
If you have a question that you would like to keep private, you can email me and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
advice
Im 13 and in 7 grade. I have A's and B's in all my classes but one. Im failing in math. I dont know why its so hard for me. I belive its because I have never had to study for any other classes because im good at them. The only thing is that im terrible at studying. If I try really hard and study the night before for like six hours I can get a good grade on a test. Just recently I got a mid-B on my test which is pretty good for me. But I dont understand the lesson even when our teacher teaches it to us. The hardest part for me is that my best friend makes PERFECT grades. She has like 100 in three or four classes. It really gets me down when I come home with a C or D and she gets an A. I know its not her fault or anything, but I get kinda jealous sometimes because I really try hard and she doesnt have to. So does anyone know a good way to study and get over my jealosy prob?
Ill rate high as long as its serious.
First, I would speak to your teacher and let him/her know that you're not understanding what they're teaching. I've found that a lot of teachers are willing to give more one-on-one attention if they know you're having trouble with the lesson. If the problem is your teacher and you just don't understand no matter how they explain it, why not ask your friend for help? Not only will it help you to understand the lesson, but it will also help with the jealousy issue. I've found it's hard to be jealous of someone's who's helping you.
