Teachers tend to pressure children to do better and better because they know that in years to come you will need it.  I now that being in the seventh grade is a little young to be under that kind of pressure, so my advise to you is to do your school work and leave all the worry to the adults.  That's their job, not yours.  However, if you can excel, do not cut yourself short.  Take care

There's actually a funny saying that all my teachers have hung up in their classrooms. It says "Everyday I give special attention to one person... today is not your day..... tomorrow doesn't look good either." You don't have to say that, but I thought that is pretty funny... but in all seriousness you should approach them and be like "Listen... you all are very close to me, but there isn't enough me to go around." Then if two of your friends get into a fight you simply say... "i'm sorry... but I am NOT taking sides." Sometimes... unfortunately... you have to take a stand with your friends like that. Good luck!!!

Talk to your guidance counselor and she or he can help you deal with it. She may suggest talking to the teacher, asking if there is an area you can improve on or something so that she thinks you're willing to work hard. Otherwise, maybe your guidance counselor can talk to her and find out if you did something or if there is something she is upset about so that it can be fixed and you can have a good year next year. \n\nAlso, it might be that you think she doesn't like you when the truth is she does and it's just her personality. No matter what happens, good luck!

Care about what you're doing and try your best.  Do your homework, ask questions in class, see the teacher outside of class if you still have questions.\n\nFor what it's worth, luv, middle school is tough.  I'm a high school teacher, and I can tell you that it's pretty easy to tell if a student is trying or not.  If a student is really trying, I won't fail her.  Other teachers have different policies, but we all feel much more kindly towards someone who puts forth an effort.

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! :)

Maybe they are jealous of you. U R probably super cute, and to make themselves feel like they have control over you, they make you feel unworthy. Just move on, it's High School, and everyone fits in somewhere.

Your teacher knows best. Oprah recently said that in many schools pupils are led to believe that they're doing well whereas in fact their level is awful. So she's just making sure that you can get the best of the best once you graduate, and she's preparing you as best as she can for that by making you work your utmost.

If you don't think that you are learning, you need to talk to administrator and if he/she won't do anything you need to have a serious talk with you parents about switching schools. Don't be worried about the grade your friend got; only worry about yourself at this point. If it turns out that you do switch schools, forget about your social life for a while (yes it seems impossible) but it seriously helps if you have no distractions. You need to focus on catching up to where the rest of the class is. Talk to your teacher about times when you can go in and ask for help on homework. Surprisingly, you will find out that teachers do not want you to give you an F. If they could, they would give anyone who tries an A. Last year, I had really bad grades because I had switched to a harder school. But now, I am proud to say I am all caught up! I even managed to get in to English Honors! The people around you will give support to you when needed. Parents are the biggest help also. My parents went and talked to my teachers to tell them to take it a little easy on me. Keep you head up high! Never say to yourself that you can’t make it through because if you tell yourself that you will surely fail. Also remember that you are not the only person who has or will go through this. You are not alone! I wish you good luck!

You can give it another try.  In some cases, the teacher is the problem.  Maybe with any luck the new teacher will help her out, instead of working against her

They might be jealous of you. People like to mess with people and hurt their feelings. When I was in school they always called mr names. You might be a cool person to be around. Be yourself and don't think what others think of you. You're just as good as anyone else.

It's very simple just go to your guidance counceler and explain what is going on just like you did here.  It is their job to be there for you and help you if they can.  Also if that doesn't work try talking to the Principal. Try and present yourself with a good attitude when talking to these ppl   they will take you more seriously and be more helpful.  The fact that you are concerned means that you care and they will recognize this too.

you Need to sit down with your parents and explain that a b is a good grade, the more they put this kind of pressure on you the harder it will be for you, your parents need to realise how hard they are being and that they are not offering you the right support, maybe you should let them read some of these emails and give them an insight to how you feel, I'm a parent and i know if i was making my children feel like this i would not be happy with myself,,please try talking to them in a calm manner, and choose a time when non of you are stressed. good luck

I agree with your mother.  If your teacher is out to get you there is very little that you can do about it.  Go to the principal and say that you have a personality clash with the teacher and would prefer to be moved to another class.  There are laws that prohibit him from discussing this request with the teacher so from a technical standpoint you should be able to push the request through without the teacher ever knowing how or why it was done.  Then the only issue you will face is whether you are put into a class that has a teacher that is influenced by the first teacher.\n\nTeachers can find flaws when there are not any.  I should know.  I'm a teacher!\n\nYou could also try talking to her about her grading system and see if she can justify the grades.  If not then you definitely have a motive for placement in a different class.
