Yeah, I'm only in 7th grade and my grades are already slipping. Last quarter I got straight A's.. Now that it's the end of the school year I've been slacking on my work and the teachers are piling it on us since they don't have much time to get it done. I'm getting my midterms Friday and I already know I have 2 D's... I've never received any grade lower than a B so I'm really disappointed. There's only 20 days left of school and I need to improve and work my but off. But lately,I've been procrastinating when I never used to.. How can I keep up with all my work and get my D's up to at least B's?
Ask your teachers for a review, if they haven't given you one, so you can study for your midterms.
Ask your teachers if there's an extra credit project you can do.
From now on, when you have homework, make sure to do it AS SOON as you get home from school, so you'll still be in "school" mode. Just get it done and don't put it off or you won't feel like doing it later. [ sugarplum07's advice column | Ask sugarplum07 A Question ]

I don't know with only 20 days left that you can bring your grades all the way back up, but you should really dig in and do your best to try to accomplish that feat. Nothing is impossible. [ Brandi_S's advice column | Ask Brandi_S A Question ]
