My younger sister has always straight A's on EVERYTHING. While I on the other hand make A's through D's. I never used to make anything below a C+ but this past school year was hard for me. I had other responsibilities that distracted me from my school work and deprived me of sleep. I used to stay up for hours every night doing my homework and projects. School owned my life. Ive NEVER seen my sister do homework, study, or do ANYTHING school related. And when it comes to common sense, she's pretty stupid. My parents are disappointed in me and always compare me to her, and I hate it. I think there's something wrong with me thats making it so much harder for me to learn. I always zone out after a while, or take much longer to realize things that most people get RIGHT AWAY. My parents say Im a failure, even though i havent even failed anything yet. Something is wrong with me because my GPA has dropped tremendously. Any suggestions?

Well first of all, about your sister or other people not studying and yet getting good grades easily, that's usually something in them, they do act stupid and you'd think they're stupid, and they never study, and when they do ,they just spend an hour or very little time. But some types of people just focus in class and lectures and they just understand everything and sometimes memorize, so they don't need to study later on, and sometimes you'd even think that they don't focus in class but they do. It could be something to do with their IQ, or that's just their brain, or a gift from god. But i do know people who are like that. Sometimes its frustrating,that they just get their own way without hard work like normal people do.But there is nothing you can do about it.
And stop comparing yourself to your sister, studying is not a competition, you know, sometimes there are really smart people and they get good grades all through out their lives, and then at one point, they just crash it all down with a big disappointment when they go to a useless college at the very end, or just get married and sit at home. You don't study to be better than anyone or ur sister, you study cause you have an aim, or a goal, and your trying to achieve it. And you just do your best.
I, for example, always have trouble studying, I space out all the time, and just wonder off, and i waste so much time, and i have trouble focusing both in classes and when i study on my own.
And usually what i do, is to push myself.
What your problem could be that you have bad time management 0r a bad studying strategy or a bad studying atmosphere.
Figure out whether you like to study at morning or night, meaning, when you come from school, or late at night when everyone's asleep, its sometimes better, cause its quite then. you can get home after school and sleep, and wake up at night and study till the next morning.
You need to revise things more than once, cause sometimes some people have trouble memorizing. You can do plans and summaries to make your studying easier,make a schedule for your studies and follow it day by day. Focus more in class.
And no your parents don't think your a failure, they just say that to encourage you, so take their disappointment as a means of encouragement for you to do better in your studies and study harder. They just wanna push you, see you doing well, and they want the best for you.So prove them wrong.And if you have trouble in anything, ask your teachers for help or extra credit.
And sometimes school isn't what shows your intelligence, i know people who used to score low in school, but once they got to college, they're practically on top of their class.It depends on what subjects your into, and what field you understand better, and college will show that.
Hope i helped, please be free to contact me if you need anything else. Best of luck

Its great to see you WANT to learn. Dont let words get to you, do YOUR best and gradually your grades will pick up.
To focus more in school try things like:
- Sitting with someone your unlikely going to be distracted by.
-Making brief notes during class (will help study)
-If no homework is given take this as a time to study.
-make a time table, this helps planning your time; make sure to include lesiure time ;)
With your parents, let them know your doing your best; show them your acheviements and your progress.
good luck
