Sophomore in Highschool. All my life, school has come incredibly easy to me and I'm advanced in all of my classes but then there's math. Literally, we had our first test of the year in algebra and I got a 60% and it's discouraging me. I don't know what I am doing wrong-I go to extra help when the teacher has them, I do all my homework, I pay attention in class, and I take up free tutoring from other students when the school offers it (low income family, cannot afford private tutoring). It's so fucking annoying. I literally study my ass off and nothing shows. Teachers always say there is no such thing as naturally being bad at math, you need to work hard, etc, but it's not working. And in the SATs I gotta take next year, math is half the grade. The other half is reading and writing which I'm not worried about at all-steady 100s all the time in English class-and it really bugs me that my whole future could get fucked because of math when I don't even want a math based carreer. What do I do? (link)

I'm Brazilian, I'm in the third year of high school and I'm also going through the same situation. In addition to hard difficulty in math, I ended up changing school in the last year, which made it very difficult.
Don't panic, above all, believe in your potential. Don't let anyone, even the say you won't be able to go through that obstacle.
What helped me a lot was looking for other ways to learn the issue and new teachers and teaching methods. I'm also studying basic mathematics and doing exercises on the applied matter.
Rest, respect your rhythm and your mental health. It's going to be all right, I believe im you!
