Ok, so I am a new lil fishy at school. And I am taking 2 Pre-Ap classes. About to be three. And if i do say so myself i am doing pretty well. EXCEPT one. Leap English. It's kicking my butt! I don't know what to do! It's so hard. And I study really hard but i still make bad grades! I am trying everything and it just wont work! I have tried turuoring with the teacher but she is stupid and weird and doesnt help me at all. What should i do? Get a professional tutor? quit the class? SOMETHING!

Well, I hate to say this, but if your truly studying hard and are keeping focus and not goofing off in class, and still making bad grades, you might need to consider dropping the course. You need to go up to your teacher when she isnt too busy and tell her you are struggling and dont just ask her for tutoring, tell her what you specifically need help with, and if she doesn't give it too you or if you don't understand, ask her what she thinks you should do. Make her listen. If she wont then tell your consuler and he will help you decide if you should stay. Dont wear your self down! High school is supposed to be SUPER FUN!!! not super stressful! good luck wiht this and hope it helped!
