What should I do if I feel I can't do well in school?

Just focus more intently on your school studies. When you do that, you will do better in school and when you do better, then you won't feel so ready to quit. If you need some inspiration not to quit, I reccommend reading about British Antarctic explorer Sir Earnest Henry Shackleton and his trip to Antarctica in his ship, "Endurance". He named that ship after his family motto, which was, "FORTITUDINE VINCIMUS", which in English means, "By endurance, we conquer." The story of that famous expedition inspired me not to quit and I'm sure will inspire you not to quit too.

Don't be so hard on yourself and don't give up. We are not all Einsteins. If you have a B+ grade point average, you still have a pretty good shot at getting into a good school. Use every opportunity to increase your weak academic areas and really work hard on your areas of interest that you are thinking about for a career. The tests are really not much of an indicator of how well you will succeed in life and in a career.

Get organized. U won't be able to do anything without knowing what is goign on. Study for a least an hr. a day, and if u don't get the material, get a tutor they help a lot. Also if ur school has any after-school clubs that help kids that are having trouble join! Take notes in class, and I know that this is sort of boring because ur teachers probably drone on about something that u think isn't important, but that will probably be in the exam, try to listen to ur teachers. Cancel all plans with friends because u need to pass or ur future is down the toilet. Make sure u study a lot (even on weekends!) I hope u pass the exams I know they are SUPER hard, but I sure do hope this helps. Don't worry a lot of people go thru the same thing u ar going thru right now! If u need any help, use Yahoo Answers there is a lot of people out there that want ot help (like me)!

First find out why you are not doing well in your exams. Is it .'cos you didn't prepare well for the exams, or you simply apply the wrong study approach? Or find out which subjects you are doing poorly. \nIf it's the former one, then I strongly suggest you study 2 weeks before the exams. Spend 2 hrs a day studying in a quiet environment and exercise, eat and sleep well daily. Avoid alcohol and late night outings if possible. \nIf it's the later one, then I strongly suggest you seek tutoring help, either from your teachers or friends. I believe we all have talents and some intelligence. It's a matter of discovering and cultivating them in order to become a successful person in this world. Remember Albert Einstein was not a good student in his junior years. He practically failed most of his tests and was less than an average student. But as we all know today who he is, and what he had accomplished and achieved in his later life. So if you are serious, put your mind to it and the end result will speak for itself. Remember there's always a light at the end of the tunnel!

Study, Study, Study. if your doing well in all your other classes, just ut your mind into your math class. Maybe take time before or after school with your teacher. Or maybe get a tutor?

Take the school as a place to exercise your potential. Failure in one area means only that some other students are better suited than you for that capacity. Try other activities until you find your own turf, then be the best.\nNever hate a subject or anything about school.\nPositive thinking and creative thinking are two of the best tools in school, especially when coupled with a tutored tongue and able hands.\nYour feet will bring you to places outside areas of failure.\nConsider the school as a stage in your life. What comes after that will depend on what you make of it now.\nGood luck.

You have to remember, school comes first, and if you don't pass, you don't play.  I would suggest doing your homework as soon as you get home, and having free time later, whether it is to play basketball or do something else.  You have to stay focused on what is important.

Try some yoga or just breathe. Take it slow and start a study regime. Do things at a specific time and don't go off it. Feel confident that you know the info. . Whenever you don't know an answer go with your gut feeling. Take deep breathes whenever you feel like you're going to fail.\nGood luck and just breathe.

Make sure to ask questions or ask for help if you don't understand something.  You are capable of getting passing grades if you try.  If you are really trying to do your assignments and do well in school, and you are failing, you are probably not placed in the right class, so talk to a school counselor.  School counselors are also good supports for dealing with the "drama" and personal issues.\n\nTry to find some friends who are a positive influence on you and support for you, then try not to get caught up in the drama, which is in every high school.  Use a journal or someone you trust to talk to that is outside the school (like a parent or mentor) and hang in there.  High school is over before you know it.  But make sure you pass so you can graduate.  Good luck!

Of one thing you are certain, and that's , you will not graduate. Why do you not try to go to school more often, then you will not have any problem, it's never too late to try. You can also join some online courses if you want too, but do not take chances with your future. Do be regular with your attendance and if you do concentrate, nothing will stop you from graduating, all the best

You shouldn't give up. The more you do, the stronger you are and the more you can do! Whenever you get stressed out, relax, take a break. Breathe in and breathe out. Then go back to the problem once you're stressed and work on your grades! I'm in highschool, so I don't know how stressful college can be, but I do know that school can be quite frusterating.

You say "something" always holds you back but you do not list any of these things.\n\nHere are some tips, some of which may apply and some may not:\n1) Give up Alcohol\n2) Stop going to parties\n3) Dump your abusive boy/girl-friend\n4) Take less credit hours per semester\n5) Take more credit hours per semester\n6) Talk to your professors in all classes (not just ones you're doing poorly in).\n7) Live on campus\n8) Live off campus\n9) Take a summer school class\n10) Don't give up because 90% of people who "take a break" never go back\n11) Study more\n12) Start a study group\n13) Talk to your advisor\n14) Change your major\n15) Buckle down and stay with your major\n16) Apply for grants if money is the problem

Acing the SAT and having mediocre grades might say to the college "classic under-achiever" because it sort of proves you had the intellectual capacity to do well in school, but didn't, probably out of boredom or laziness or both.  But, maybe you are one of those "hands-on" learner types.\n\nYou can get a letter of recommendation from someone in the military, it doesn't have to be a teacher.  Just someone who knows your capacity for success.\n\nYou can address your crappy grades yourself in your essay, don't try and sugar coat it.  Just say you don't feel you felt you lived up to your potential in HS, but since getting out and spreading your wings, you feel you have matured and understand the importance of good grades.  \n\nAnd, it you don't immediately get accepted to your first choice school, take classes at a community college, even get your AA/AS degree there and apply to transfer into your top school as a junior.  You MUST get excellent grades and prove you can do college level work at the community college!\n\nGood luck to you, you can get there if you are determined and it sounds like you are.

the easiest way to get your grade back to where you want them, is to take the subjects your lagging in, wutever your having problems with try to break it down into something you enjoy, like science is broken down into simple everyday things and the same for math and what not so just try to focus wut your having issues with into being able to function again, science is as simple as eating a pizza and math as easy as doing the dishes you just have to find a way to look at it like that
