June 8th ;___;...\nmy school's like a fricken Nazi camp though. We always get the shaft with things like this (we have the longest school day (it's 7:00-3:11 for me since I have a zero block class which is basically volunteer, most people have a 7;45-3:11 though if they don't have a zero block). All the other schools in the area have a shorter year, longer breaks, and shorter days.\nSorry for whining so much xD.

Find ways to make it fun like suggest ideas to the teacher for different learning methods. It also helps to be happy. Try thinking of upbeat songs or just dance. If you mope around all day, school will probably seem worse than it already is.

I have been in the same boat as you...and now I am a teacher.  First you need to find out what criteria you need to meet in order to get a better grade.  Talk to the most evilist teacher alive, and let her know you want to get better grades.  Ask her if she has a rubric for grading her papers.  Perhaps you are not getting or studying the right information...such a waste to study something that really doesn't matter.  Good luck!

hmm I had the same problem. I hated my gym class because there was alot of racism going on there, and I was in the minority.\nI got through it by mostly interacting with my friends (there were only 1 or 2, but it helped alot; not being alone). Try making new friends that makes the time pass faster and makes it easier to bare the class. Gym usually doesn't include alot of paperwork and such, so if you just study for the exams and tests as they come you'll do fine, and just paying attention will ensure that you will get a good grade. Participation is a part of the grade too, so if you aren't the sporty type just do as much of the "participation" as possible with friends.

Yea, i see where ur commin from. im 16 and a sophmore in high school but 7 hours of school is not really that much time in class cuz u gotta look at it as u gotta take out ur lunch that a half hour usually. then there is all the passing time for changing classes...thats about an half hour or more. so ur only in classes 6hrs right there that is only 1/4 of the day. besides the homework is to refresh your memory on what u learned in class that way u can learn something new next class. and 182 school days out of 365..thats not that many. i used to wonder the same thing and i used to think it was torture but its honestly not. ITS TO HELP YOU!!

I actually have a big problem when it comes to school myself. Im actually very intelligent, (sorry for flaunting it hehe)  but I have a problem with work ethic. As a result, my grades are suffering and Im underachieving tremendously. I gathered from this rather qucikly that school is what you make it...and getting good grades seriously enhances the overall experience.\n\nSo I would say grow a pair and study/do homework..believe me, life is alot easier when you get good grades

Don't worry, it could be just some kind of added stress on you with school, sports, etc.\n\nIt happens, especially when you're younger like you are.

High school is horrible. You're insecure, you don't know yourself or your body, you haven't come to terms with your individuality, and so few people will accept people who aren't exactly like them (and I include the outcasts in this as well- when's the last time you saw a "goth kid" hanging out with a "prep"?). Later in life you're more aware of yourself, and so are other people, so things are a little easier.

Well good for you! I am one of those in the middle bracket who got screwed. I really am glad to see you are doing your best in school, because where I go, it seems like 1/2 the students who get financial aid don't even want to be there! They don't show up to class, don't study, and party all the time. Then you wonder where they went next semester and they are gone because they failed too many classes and couldn't get more money. (that was my little rant) But as for the rich people, they are used to having everything handed to them. I don't see why they care though, because their parents are probably paying for everything, including rent/food/entertainment money, so they don't even need to work!

Because no one else is studying. Get a drom or go to the library where everyone is miserably studying. You'll see you're not the only one not having fun. \nGet away from ppl who aren't in your situation, you just get subconsciosly jeolous and it will lead you astray from your studies. Next thing you know you'll be dropping out or "putting school on hold"\nLife isn't a/b fun, untill you get too old to have it. Or unless you become really rich....but then you still wont be satisfied with what you have.\nSo....just stop bitching and study. Its easier to be young, bored, and rich than to be old and not rich.

Teachers, funding, the govt! pressure, stress, home issues, trauma, depression, teasing from other kids, peer pressure, environment issues, ADD, ADHD, learning disabilities, no motives.... etc... there are a number of reasons for a child to do badly in school. the question is too general.

I have the same feelings, school is taking forever because I am broke, and at a job i hate.  I would try to get scholarships at your community college, this helps a lot with the funds for school!  Good Luck!

I wasn't too big into school.  My Senior year was the pits.  I almost quit 1/2 way through!  So bored!  My friends had all gotten to be really weird.  I was under so much pressure to choose a college and a career.  I just wanted to be done with it!
