Lately I cant constritate on my school work. My grades are slipping and I hate all my teachers. One teacher really hates me and never wants to help me. My parents think I`m doing super super great and if I get a lower then a B on my report card I would get in trouble. I`m having other problems right now and school is just my last thing to worry about. We are having a huge test Thursday and if we fail this we fail the grade. By the way I`m 13/f. I need to do really good on this test and what is the best way to constratrate on studying and doing good on this test? Thanks!
Karen answered Wednesday March 2 2005, 3:16 pm: The best way to concentrate on this big test is to sit yourself down, get away from your computer/TV and study. Study has hard as you can with different techniques; make flash cards or have your family quiz you and such. Your main goal is to study and convince yourself that if you fail this test, then you will stay back and that's bad. I know that your teachers hate you but really, they are just teaching you and you can just ignore them and just listen when they teach. Teachers shouldn't hate you for no apparent reason and if your teachers somewhat bring down your grade, tell your principal. Just study as hard as you can and you will do good on this test.

Do not expect to run a marathon on your first day. You need to build up to it. For this one you just have to try and get through however you can.
Longer term, perhaps you might want to consider dealing with the "other problems". I dare say they are half the reason you seem so negative and convinced your teachers hate you. [ Altazuma's advice column | Ask Altazuma A Question ]
