Hey!
I live in Canada and I'm teen. I've been through a lot of stuff with my friends over the last few years and I always try to give my insight into their problems (sometimes even when they don't really want it lol).
I've realized that over time I have accumulated a lot of questions about moving on, so if you have a question about that, lay it on me!!
I don't think that ratings matter, and that you should choose someone to trust your question with, that will answer it with care, but show you what the world really is and wont sugar coat it.
I hope you guys find my advice helps, hope to talk soon!! :D

I'm a sophomore in high school, and lately my grades have sort of been dragging, and I feel like I'm spread out pretty far, although I don't think that's the case.
All I want to know, is if it's normal to feel this way and if I'll ever get over it? I've just sort of lost my motivation. In 9th grade, I was rolling out a 3.6ish GPA no problem, but now I'm struggling along with a 2.7ish. I don't know if it's the material or what, I just feel like my brain has no interest in learning the difference between preterit and imperfect verbs in Spanish or other subjects. My only As are in PE and Photography.
Help please. (link)

Hey,
Sophmore is like grade ten right? Yeah that makes sense, sorry, I'm from canada, anyways, I'm in grade ten too, and I have noticed the same thing. WE dont really have GPA and stuff at my school, but my grades hav been slipping a bit. It's the same thing that happens in the eighth or seventh grade depending on what grade your school goes up to. It's like that feeling that you dont care because this is not a defining year in your life, these marks arent going to effect you. My teacher called it grade eigth brain, and it happens in the spring of that yar, but I've noticed it lately too with some of my friends. So basically, you just have to work hard, even if you dont think that you're making any progress and try and bring up the grade a bit and then once you get through the year try and figure out why that happned to you and then not let it happen next year.
Do you like gym and photography? DO you find them interesting? Thats probably why you're doing well in them if you are. You have motivation, so you just need to create your own motivation. Say if you get a certain grade in science, then you can buy a new cd or whatever, but if you fail the next quiz then you have to stay home and spend an hour studying. You know? It's tough, but if you find something that works it may work for the rest of highschool. Hope I helpped, let me knowif you need more study and motivation ideas,
love ya,
