For your grades, make a schedule for the best homework times. make sure you take notes in class and make sure that you know what the teachers are talking about. because you can be studying something for like an hour and have no idea what it is (trust me, i found that out the hard way) . write down what you have for homework in each class and what materials you need. sometimes it could be distracting when the teachers talking about something important and your friends yelling your name or tapping you on the shoulder to come look out the window at a bird on fire or something. for now you should just ignore him/her and focus on the teacher. if you still find yourself confused, go after class, or after school and ask for help. theyre teachers, theyl help you (i hope). if you feel your parents are being too strict talk to them about it. tell them that it feels like what you do isnt good enough, even if its the best you could do. and if youre having problems paying attention in school you could have a.d.d or something, like me. it sucks. as for the math part, i dont ahve much say on this, for i am getting AN F! in it. talk to your mom and/or teacher about what your having trouble on and see if you can come in for extra help. i did once and it helped for a while until we started talking about Y=mx+b y-intercept =slope which is rise_over run, and so on. crap. think of the progress report as GOOD! you will know how you are doing, where youre going, and if youre improving. plus, you can be slowly improving and i hope/think she'l notice that and shel be like yay heres some cookies. okay and for the other things that are going over your head n stuff, if its a boy or girl dump them or something. if its your friends just be like yo dawg i cant play today im grounded so they wont call or bother you or anything. i know it sounds nerdish that i want you to seclude yourself from all living things but its for the best! you should also be happy your mom cares about your grades. my mom never did, and thats why i dont get very good grades.. :. well this was longish, so good luck in the future. and theres like a homeworkhelp.com or something like that if you need help. Good luck! [ XoxBroKeNxoX's advice column | Ask XoxBroKeNxoX A Question ]
Clash2004 answered Monday February 14 2005, 11:07 pm: Dear Confused,
If you're having trouble in school, ask more questions in class or talk to your teacher after class. I recommend getting a tutor after school to help you. Tutors help alot and its perfectly ok to have one. Also with all the things you deal with just take it one thing at a time and relax. (you are allowed to relax you know) I hope this helps you and good luck :) [ Clash2004's advice column | Ask Clash2004 A Question ]

Just breathe and keep your hope... things will get better soon.. you just have to work harder at it. Ask ppl for help.. ask your friends to help you if you dont like asking teachers. Sit back and think about what it is that might be holding you back so far... and once you find something... try and iliminate it from your life for a lil while... even if it means your friends. You'l be able to be with them... jut not chyllen all the time and stuff. Hope I helped!
