10th grade
What do the teachers expect us to know when we go into 10th grade?
I'm no good at math. I didn't get into geometry.
I could do the homework but I always had low test scores. I always forgot everything we did in the chapter. It makes me feel stupid.
I couldn't go get help from my teacher. It makes me feel so awkward and under pressure to get the right answer, so i mess up and it makes my confidence.. real low.
I'm not great at writing essays. My vocabulary is not all that good either.
Is there any websites that would help me?

lovetogiveadvice is right; you just need a little extra help. Do your parents know about this problem? Ask them if they can get you a private tutor or one that works with a few amounts of students at a time. My best friend used to go to Sylvan Learning Center and it really helped her.
Many people aren't good at math and just don't get it. But, the reason you always forget what you learn later on is most likely because of your study habits. Do you study the night before a test? When you study, it should be about an hour every night for each subject. When you find out about a test, you should start studying right away so the information goes into your long term memory and not short term. If it's just in your short term than you will forget it.
Writing just comes with practice. Here's a site I found for that:

As for vocabulary, there's a series of books by Sadlier-Oxford called *Vocabulary Workshop* by Jerome Shostak. Every grade at my school uses this and the book is only like 7 bucks. You can order one at www.sadlier-oxford.com. Tenth grade is level E.
If you're really serious about making better grades and doing better in school, you need to take the steps to do it and stick with it. That means, really talk to your parents/counselor about your problem and get help. Sylvan Learning Center works with you, finds your weaknesses, and fixes them so ask your parents about that. Good luck.
Oh and by the way, 10th grade isn't all that hard. If you have good teachers, talk to them after class one day and ask them if they can help you after school or something. Most teachers will set aside time for you.
