I am a teacher and I love working with teens. I am one of their favorite teachers because I do sit down and listen to them. I allow them to cry on my shoulder and have been noted as a second mother to many of my students. I enjoy answering questions from teens about their lives and when school is back in session I will have my students help me with the advice by asking them what they would do so hopefully that will further help any and all questions that do come my way.

I think its great that you care about your grades and its also cool that your parents want you to succeed. I am not only a teacher but a parent and my son and I go through the same crap with my sister-in-law. I hate it when report cards come out and she counts all of her A's and says how perfect she is. She is only 7. As a parent, I feel like I have neglected my son and perhaps he too should be pulling the same grades; however, all kids are different. We all learn in different ways. I suggest you find out what ways you are able to learn and run with that. For example, if you are a visual learner, you need to see more pictures to understand things. A tactile person needs to feel things for them to understand the material. There is also the auditorial learner where if a person hears a lecture they easily get it. Find out where you lie and perhaps that will help you.
As far as your parents are concerned, its not right for them to yell at you at all but it is in their nature because they are frustrated. My guess is that they see you study but do not understand themselves why you are confused over the material. I also suggest seeking out the teacher, they can also help.
No matter what happens, Good luck!! And keep in touch as I am curious if this will help you or not.
