Ok so I'm a freshman/grade 9. First semester went by fast and I did great in most classes...but I failed Algebra 1 ( make fun of me all you want ). That class was super easy until the last 2 weeks of the semester because my fucking teacher skipped 4 chapters to "get it out of the way". I went from a B to an F in a matter of 2 weeks. So now it's coming close to the end of the first quarter of second semester and I think I'm failing or doing horrible in most of my classes except for PE, Art, and Spanish. I don't know what happened to me I just started feeling extremely lazy...I never do my homework and I usually wait till the last minute to start a project thats due...I'm a fuck up now. No I don't do hard drugs or anything like that. I try as hard as I can but I just can't deal with all of the work... My mom fucking goes crazy when she gets my report cards/progress reports and takes away every privilege I have. What can I do to improve my work habits? I'm just fucking thoughtless.
 
I have the same problems my parents dont even let me touch a video game or
computer during the week, I just resort to cheating but dont do that, I suggest you study.
 
My only advice would be to PLAN.

Plan out your weeks to make room for some study or projects or whatever, and stick to it.
 
I've tried to do that @ TDD, but I just can't stick to it...I always find some way to go around it and do nothing. Regardless if I have something to do like watch tv or play games
 
Mhmm, First of all do your homework... I know what you meen when you say your lazy, I'm like that all the time, but i make the effort to atleast google the ansers :) With your algerbra, maybe try and get a book? or maybe a cd you can put into the computer with the person telling you what to do. And maybe only come on runescape and sythe after you done your homework and your assignments.
 
Well my mom got me a tutor for math (srsly) after giving me a 2 hour lecture -.-
/exaggeration

I'm not allowed to do anything during weekdays since second semester started. Which includes computers :(
 
you know the time you spend stressing over it you could spend doing your homework/study and you wont have to stress anymore. 15 minutes a day of maths will do alot of good, and 15 minutes isnt hard to do.

Youl waste alot more time worrying about it then actually learning it. and really, year 9 isnt hard stuff, they give you a quarter of a year to learn like one subject. algebra is really simple stuff, as soon as you can get the concept in your head you will nail it. ask your teacher for help, a friend, older brother anything. i found if i sat down for 5 minutes and really tried to understand something, i could.
 
I know that I'm just wasting time stressing but I can't stop thinking about my grades and how I can improve them...but after a while of stressing I just give up and go to sleep or something -.-
 
I know how your feeling, been there. i know youl find it hard to make a plan, but invovle things you enjoy. say when you get home, just relax and do what you like for say an hour or so. then do say 10-30 mins of maths, after that you can go play some games again. after you have dinner, get back into your maths again for like 10 mins. after you done that you can go back to your games.

youl be suprised how just that little 10 mins can atually do. you will start to enjoy maths, when you understand it, and can show your friends how to do it you will feel great about yourself. try compete with your smart friends, it feels good to come out of the blue and smash them in a test when they think they are smarter then you.
 
Get ur ass of this site, and start studying, You fail in school, you fail in life and thats a fact.
 
Wow what the hell you fucking dick...I think I know I'm failing school but you don't have to be such an ass about it...

I'm not trying to be a "fucking dick" but you really need to realise that posting on a site about it isn't helping.

Tips.
During your school day write down what assignments you get and what you have to do in the afternoon when you come home.

Make a simple time table of your afternoon outlining when and what you have to do, make sure you leave long breaks to enjoy places like SYTHE :D.

Get some sort of Diary, or Organiser and set out dates for assignment due dates. Make sure the week before its due, you leave a not saying its due next week. Don't leave things till the last night bud.

Ask your parents for a tutor, I was failing maths and my parents got my a tutor I went from a C- to an B+ in under 12 months. It wasn't nerdy and it was only 2 hours once a week.
 
Freshman year was easy for me, I got decent grades, and I was smoking pot and partying. If I can give you any advice, it would be don't procrastinate on projects, go to bed early, and don't stress. I did most my homework at school by copying from girls because they always do their homework. I think ADD is total bull, but maybe ask your parents for some kind of perscription. I take adderal(don't have ADD, or perscription), but some friends give it to me. It helps me focus in class, and on homework.
 
Just try your hardest to do the work and dont give up, tell your parents
to reward you for doing your homework. Tell them to let you play games 2-3 times a week when your done with your work but if you dont do it you dont play.
 
I already have a tutor as I said above ^

And if you say you got from a c- to a b+ and your saying you got it in under 12 months...why 12 months? If I have an F and I need a B will I get it in under 42 months or something ffs
And may I remind all of you...it's not just math that im fucking up in

EDIT: ah shit.


w/e im gonna go sleep now... getting bored ill try to check up on this thread tommorow at school
