You need to give more info if you actually want help. Study harder, pay more attention in school, and do your homework. I'm sure you'll be fine. You can also ask your teacher if there is anything you can do to bring your grade up. Like extra credit, or somehting you haven't turned in. Good luck.

u have got 70+ marks on the average. that means u have got grade B. i wont say this is a very good result. but after lookin at ur marks u seem to be excellent in few subjects but at the same time u haven't scored good in the other subjects. well i feel that u are not taking all the subjects seriously. the fact is that if one want to get good marks one has to make stress on every subject. for this one has to create his interest in all.\nbut overall i would say this is a average type of result.

HI BEACH BABE.\nI WAS LIKE YOU TOO READING ALL THESE BOOKS ABOUT SURVIVING MIDDLE SCHOOL BUT IT DIDN'T SEEM TO HELP AT ALL. I WAS SCARED BUT EXCITED AT THE SAME TIME. AT MY SCHOOL WE DON'T GET LETTER GRADES LIKE A B C F'S BUT THEY DO SAY A B C F'S  TRUST ME YOU WILL HAVE NEW FRIENDS. SOME TEACHERS DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU BUT MOST IF YOU DO GOOD THEY WILL. I AM A LITTLE SAD ABOUT LEAVING SCHOOL FOR SUMMER BREAK. YOU WILL MISS YOUR FRIENDS ALOT.\n\nGOOD LUCK IN MIDDLE SCHOOL,\nVY

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!

I already went through my finals a week ago. I know that waiting for test and beginning term papers can be like torture. I'm like you, I like to get my work in early, that way I stress about it less. If you feel confident, then take the test early, plus I think professors see this as you caring about your grades.\n\nJust take a break somewhere nice, like go to park (I go shopping for a few hours). Remember to rest your eyes, and try not to lose sleep over your worry, because that will make things worse. \n\nSometimes the stress of college is all about preperation and planning.\n\nGood luck and I hope you pass :O)

Well, first of all, think about what you did before that made you get those grades. Now, think of ways to improve them. Second of all, you need to get rid of all distractions while studying. For example, don't watch TV on school days or don't use the Internet on school days unless it is emergency or homework. Trust me, it really works! Finally, do your best in everything. Don't give the teachers any possibilities to give you low grades. Just focus, believe in yourself, let nothing stop you from doing what you can do, and have faith in God AND YOU SHOULD DO FINE.

Oh my goodness, you are too young to be worrying that much about grades!  Eeeek!  They push kids harder and harder as the years go by...\n\n3.7 is a great GPA!  It seems to me like math is your forte.  It is VERY common for people to do better in the classes they are more interested in.  We have a limited attention span, and we have to delegate what we really listen to, and what we don't.  Personally, I am not good at math.  So because I do not have a passion for it, I am more attentive in English.  And often, it is not even on purpose, but it's in our human nature to ignore what we don't care to hear.  But unfortunately, as you will learn in life, you have to force yourself to! \n\nMy advice for you...you seem to be doing well in math.  So, as that's not your 'problem' area, I would focus more on literature.  Ask yourself what it is about Literature that you are not understanding.  Do you have a problem finding the meaning of what you are reading?  Do you have problems reading a large amount of text?  Try and figure out what it is that is making the class difficult for you.  Let a parent or guardian know, and they can definitely help you!  Another person to ask would be your teacher.  They are there to help you learn, and if you are honest with them and say "I need help," they will be more than willing!  Especially since it affects their salary! (or at least it will soon).  Another idea is to find a friend in the class to study with.  You may be too young, yet, to have study groups.  But I have been studying with friends since late elementary school, and it helps a lot to hear the information from someone other than a teacher!\n\nOne technique I have used before is while you are reading a short story or article, write down the main characters, their roles in the story, the plot, important events, etc...  When you are done reading, review the notes you took and it will help solidify the information and make it stick better!  College professors actually advise students to review the information they learned in class immediately following lecture because you keep it in your short-term memory longer, which will make it easier to translate to long-term memory!  \n\nAlso...an honors math class...a 3.7 GPA...you are NO dumbie! :)  And even if you get a bad grade on something, it does not mean you are dumb!  I consider myself an intelligent person, and I have failed tests/exams before.  Sometimes, you just have bad luck or you get a brain fart during an exam!  It happens to the best of us!! So don't worry, and if all else fails, ask for help! :)

First, figure out how you are going to do better this semester. Then, tell your parents flat out what your grades were. Ask them to help you with your plan to raise them. They might be mad at you for getting bad grades, but they will be much more supportive if you take a responsible approach to them.

Have you talked to your professors?  Are there any classes that  you could drop and still make your GPA?  If it is really that bad, then you are just going to have to sit down and discuss it with your parents.  You should probably also start looking for a job!  Good luck!

Ask a teacher for help, or ask a guidance counselor at your school. There may be free tutors available to you, which can help you boost your grades.\n\nAlso, it would help if you believed in yourself. You aren't retarded, you're just having difficulties. Things will get better, just try your best to apply yourself and always ask for help. There's no such thing as a stupid question!

Do your 1/2 of the assignment, and before class starts on Monday, go to your teacher and tell her what is happening. Or better yet, if you have your teacher's email, email him/her the situation right now. The teacher probably has other contact info with your homework partner. Make sure you email your teacher before Sunday night though, or else your teacher will have the excuse of 'you waiting till the last minute to tell them.' to not deal with the issue. Explain to them [either in email or before class] that you just can't get your partner to do anything, and that you have worked very hard, and are prepared. Make sure that you seem like the good, responsible student. And ask all nicely how you would really like to be graded seprately, for the obvious reason. Most teachers i've had are really cool about this.\n And don't forget to make your partner look like a total idiot, that they are, in front of class, when you do present. Make sure that it's very very obvious that you did the homework, and they didn't. \nMake them seem very very inferior. \nI totally know how you feel, I'm a freshman in High school, and i've had plenty of upperclassmen already do that to me, just for the @#*! fact that i'm freshman and i care about my grade.\nHey, look on the bright side. Now you can gather your homies and jump someone. \nhahahahahhahahhahhahh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh yes! YEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!\nJust make sure that you don't get caught. And that the person, has no evidence whatsoever! No evidence. None!!!!\nhahahahhahahahah!!!!!!!!!!! \njust don't get carried away. Remember, you're the GOOD student. ;-)

Dude, that is soooo unfair. I think u should explain to the principal what happened, show her ur scouts badge and everything. If u have good grades that would help a lot, u could show her what a good guy u are and help around the school. Don't u have tests coming up? U could also say that u need to review some stuff for the tests. I hope this helps and everything turns out ok for u dude. Don't worry I am sure u'll be fine.

I had this same problem (but in college so I'm really feelin' for you!).  I think the study group is an excellent idea.  I would also express your concerns to your student advisor.  This guy should not be teaching and is obviously ill-suited to teach this subject.  Just because someone knows a subject doesn't mean they can teach it.  I would seriously get everyone in the class together and try to ask your teacher if everyone is supposed to be feeling so frustrated and afraid that they are going to fail.  If he gives everyone in the class a low grade it will reflect badly on him so if he is still being unreasonable suggest that he grade on the bell curve and hope you are on the good side of the curve.  This is a tough problem but definitely let someone in the school administration know that this is going on.  Good luck.

Hey!!! You can DEFINITELY succeed if you put your mind to it. The status of your parents' education does not give you an "inherent" negative tendency. Set your goals and meet them. :) You can raise your GPA for sure. Talk to your professors when you need help, take some classes that will be easy for you and a few that will challenge you, and most of all, be confident. :) YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!

Now that you are in High School, grades mean a lot more.  You have to ask yourself what do you want to do with your life.  If you have your sights set reasonably high, you'll need good grades in HS in order to even get into college.  It sounds like you've messed up your first year, but you can always spin that to college admissions people as having struggled but then you realized the error of your ways and redoubled your efforts and brought your grades up to something respectable. \n\nPlus, if your Mom was proud of you for behaving, imagine how proud she'll be when you start bringing home C's, B's and even some A's!
