I stink at math, terribly. I finished my highschool math last year [Junior year] and I don't have any intentions on going further now.
My average grade in math throughout my school career was Cs & Ds. But my Sophomore year I was taking Geometry. I was failing and very upset about it so I talked to my teacher. She set up a tutoring schedule with me 3 times a week, and I managed to pull my grade up to a B. Talk to your teacher and see if she can help you out.
I personally just don't understand any concept of any kind of math. But if you ask for help, you will get it. =]

Well, you [obviously] have to give it a good effort. You need to study, ask for help when you need it, do all your homework, and take extra credit opportunities. You need to have good study habits, too.

If you don't understand something... Don't ever be afraid to ask. Whether it's your teacher or your parents, your brother or sister... There is always someone around that's willing to answer your questions and help you with this sort of thing.
If you think that you benefit from tutoring, or attending classes at a specialized education institution like Sylvan... Start asking your teachers or parents what you would have to get some help.
And if you'd like to try something on your own... There is this book called 'Math Made Easy.' I bought it a couple years ago because I had to take an entrance exam for a course that I wanted to take... But it had been a long time since I had been in school and I had never been particularly good at math. This book explained the concepts in a way that really was easy to understand and includes exercises for you to do. You should be able to find it in your local bookstore. If not... There might be other books that may be as equally helpful.

The thing about math is that you have to DO the problems yourself to get better. You can watch the teacher do examples all you want, but that doesn't mean you can do them yourself. Just keep doing them until you KNOW what you're supposed to do. You also have to understand the logic behind it. Put in some extra time and do extra problems in the book.
You should see your teacher before or after school, or go to peer tutoring after school. Every time you have a question or don't understand something, you should ALWAYS ask!! Don't be afraid to ask; teachers love when a student seeks help. that's what they're there for.
