Sorry man.

Are you in college or in high school?

I'm guessing that you're a freshman in High School, correct me if I'm wrong.

It's encouraging to me that you are sharing your grades with us and that they bother you. That tells me that you DO CARE ABOUT SCHOOL. That's a good thing. :wink:

I you just have to try harder or see if you can get an idea from your teachers what you need to do to get your grades up. Maybe you need a tutor.

I'm going to sound like MY mother and father, but you really can't appreciate how important a good education really is until you get out into the real world and try and get a job. Maybe you're not an "A" student, but if you at least try to do the best you can, that should give you some confidence in yourself and pride.

Good luck!

Hey Truballer.

Hang in there. I am wondering if maybe you should transfer into different classes? Maybe the teachers you have right now just aren't working out for you.

Another thing I'd suggest would be getting a tutor. They really help.

I'm going to stand next to Stephanie and say it again to you.

You obviously want to do something about your grades or you would not have posted them here.

If you can't work on them all at once, pick two that you are going to work extra hard to improve and then just slowly work at the others.

Most importantly, as Stephanie said, there is nothing more valuable in your life right now than a good and complete education. Don't get discouraged, but instead look at those as a starting point. And stay with it til that last day as a senior. Don't think of anything else as an option. Ever.

Good luck to you.

There are times in High School that I volunteer to stay after school to help me prepare for the State wide tests.

Just do what you can to bring your grades up.

There are many here who are, or used to be teachers (myself included). If you need a little help now and then, PM me (English and History are within my realm of expertise).

That's a great start!!! :D

JQ and Streetsoldier are right. There are alot of people here that will always try and help. We've had students post questions here in OT for projects in the past!
