Talk to your teacher for a few minutes after class. If you need to, set up an appointment to meet with them. Tell them that you're concerned about the e-mails, and that you want to change but aren't quite sure what to do. Ask for suggestions and support. It's what they're there for.
Let's say your teacher isn't any help. There are other places to turn. You can hit up your school's guidance office: it's kind of their thing. Your school may have a free tutoring program in place to help you catch up on your work.
Otherwise, try your friends. Do you have a friend who gets good grades and gets along with the teacher? Try asking them for help. You may need to bribe them with pizza or fresh baked cookies, but you might be surprised at how willing friends are to help you out. [ NinjaNeer's advice column | Ask NinjaNeer A Question ]
