Sophomore Slump
I'm a sophomore in high school, and lately my grades have sort of been dragging, and I feel like I'm spread out pretty far, although I don't think that's the case.
All I want to know, is if it's normal to feel this way and if I'll ever get over it? I've just sort of lost my motivation. In 9th grade, I was rolling out a 3.6ish GPA no problem, but now I'm struggling along with a 2.7ish. I don't know if it's the material or what, I just feel like my brain has no interest in learning the difference between preterit and imperfect verbs in Spanish or other subjects. My only As are in PE and Photography.
Help please.

sorry, i just had to. lol
It is normal. You just have to study harder, and think to yourself : at this rate, what will I be in life, what will i be able to do without a proper education. If school still is not working out for you next year, then I suggest a tech school, which you can specialize inn a class, like nursing, photography, mechanics, etc. etc., and those are very cool. Hope i helped, and just remember- even though it wont come easy to you now, the ball is in your court- you get what you do.

Hey,
Sophmore is like grade ten right? Yeah that makes sense, sorry, I'm from canada, anyways, I'm in grade ten too, and I have noticed the same thing. WE dont really have GPA and stuff at my school, but my grades hav been slipping a bit. It's the same thing that happens in the eighth or seventh grade depending on what grade your school goes up to. It's like that feeling that you dont care because this is not a defining year in your life, these marks arent going to effect you. My teacher called it grade eigth brain, and it happens in the spring of that yar, but I've noticed it lately too with some of my friends. So basically, you just have to work hard, even if you dont think that you're making any progress and try and bring up the grade a bit and then once you get through the year try and figure out why that happned to you and then not let it happen next year.
Do you like gym and photography? DO you find them interesting? Thats probably why you're doing well in them if you are. You have motivation, so you just need to create your own motivation. Say if you get a certain grade in science, then you can buy a new cd or whatever, but if you fail the next quiz then you have to stay home and spend an hour studying. You know? It's tough, but if you find something that works it may work for the rest of highschool. Hope I helpped, let me knowif you need more study and motivation ideas,
love ya,

Yeah, it's completely normal. My grades were amazing up until 6th grade, and then they started to suck. I got my first D ever, and just stopped caring about school all together. But, when I realized that if I didn't get my act together, then I was gonna fail, I started doing my work again.
Just look at it that way. If you don't start doing what you need to, you're gonna fail.
