Difficult, but you would have to change your study habits.\n\nI would recommend getting a spiral notebook for each class, and take notes on the right side only.  Then when you get home, re-write your notes on the left.  It helped me learn more.  \nAlso let your teachers know you are really trying to get your grades up, and see if they can offer any help.  \nTurn in all your home work.\nWhen you take tests, go over your answers to see if they make sense to you.

Contact the school.  The issue is typically that spaces fill fast, so don't wait til August.

the higher you go in grade level, the more is expected of you. not saying this to scare you, but is a fact of life. keep all your old friends and also make some new ones. don't give in to peer pressure or become someone you're not. might want to consider some extra-curricular activities for social and academic reasons. just have fun and relax.

well if your in highschool avoid distractions when you study.  I am on principals honor role with a 4.4 gpa.  But I never study.  I am a bad example.  I guessed all of the questions on my final and missed one.  I am gifted. DON'T DO AS I DO DO AS I SAY!

First of all, I should tell you that the teacher was really unprofessional in her comments to you -- if she was being tested on maturity and professionalism, she'd test at a very low level.\n\nNow, on to your question.  I don't know what grade level you're at (I'm guessing high school?).  If so, you need to talk to a school counselor and explain your problem.  If you really do have an academic problem, the counselor will have the resources to help you with that.  Also, you could check to see if anyone would be willing to do some tutoring.  If you don't have the financial resources to pay for a tutor, maybe you could work something out with someone, like doing favors or chores in exchange for the tutoring.  \n\nThe most important thing is not to feel ashamed if you have a problem.  That teacher's comments said more about HER character than about YOU.  If you do have a problem, seeking help for it is really admirable.  I wish you the very best of luck!

stay at school. if you leave today, it'll just make it harder to come back tomorrow. if anyone comes up to you and says something, then make a joke about you falling...take it easy....more embarassing things will happen to you....trust me. i was a teenager once...just a few years ago.

Suck it up and take the good grade. You will find that often in life there are those that dont have a good work ethic. It doesnt matter where you are or where you go, that will always be the case. Just keep up the hard work and you will get the rewards in the end.

you have to devote your whole life to the stage. always be prepared to be unprepared, and don't be afraid to ask for help. if you're struggling between grades and fine arts, i know where you are and it all depends on the tests, no one will want you to perform for them if you don't have great grades in everything.

It's a little more harder than 8th grade. They expect a little more out of you. They expect you to act your age and act mature. The rules are basically the same but a little more stricter. You can probably expect to be called a fish more than once, because ya'll are the baby's of the school now. Most people don't like the freshmen. But if you work hard enough you can probably make friends with most of the upperclassmen, I know from experience that they will probably try to protect you like a brother/sister would if they like you enough. And It kind of helps if your in sports because thats were you probably would meet the upperclassmen the most. But just remember not to be afraid or worried about going into a new grade. It'll be fun after a while.

Looks like you will be repeating freshman year. I doubt you could raise your grades to even a D average. You're in high school now; grow up and take some respobsibilty.

The same type of thing happened to me my senior year.  I was an honor roll student with many AP classes.  I suffered from anxiety/depression problems which made it impossible for me to ever get to school on time.  My school's policy was that you were issued a detention every 3rd time you were marked late.  I had dozens of them.  Being late all the time was embarrassing and it added to the anxiety. I stayed home a lot to avoid more embarrassment and being "punished" for my lateness with even more detentions. \n\nOver the course of the year, I had accumulated over 30 absences (limit was 20) and many were unexcused.  No one had said anything to me about it until we were a few weeks away from graduation.  I was then told I would not be able to graduate and that if I wanted to, I needed to file some sort of appeal for a review board.  I threw a fit, threatened my guidance counselor that I would drop out (not recommended) and put in for the appeal.  The board accepted my appeal based on my good grades and the fact that I participated in many activities. I'm not saying that it's a solution, just that you should be able to appeal any decision that is made to hold you back or take away credit if it comes to that. You may not be as lucky as I was.  \n\nI would think that being able to provide a doctor's note should excuse some absences but that's usually only good for days that you have an actual doctor's appointment.  You may even want to look into getting some sort of letter from a doctor that explains the situation and what you're doing about it.  Also, see if you can set up a meeting with a guidance counselor involving your mom to try to work something out before it's too late.  The guidance counselor may know how to get around this if you have a medical/mental health problem that's keeping you from getting to school, especially if your grades are still good.  Do it as soon as possible.\n\nI don't know the story behind your nervousness problem but it sounds like you are either not taking any medication or else it's not working the way it should.  I'm not saying you have an anxiety disorder, just that it sounds like one.  This is a problem that may follow you for years if you don't do something about it soon.  I suggest you find professional help that works for you.  Breathing exercises are great IF THEY WORK and it sounds like this isn't really working well for you right now.  My mother did not want to believe that I needed anti-anxiety meds so I was never seen by a doctor.  The result was that I almost dropped out of high school, I did drop out of college and I've had a hard time keeping a steady job because of lateness or being "absent".  I am only seeking help now (I'm 28) and I wish I had been able to deal with this earlier because my life would have been a lot easier!

How did you treat your girlfriends last year.  Trust me, if there is one thing we girls like to do, it's talk...  If you were a jerk, word has probably gotten around.  Did you move up to the high school?  You may be dealing with more  competition...older guys with cars.  I know it's frustrating, but you may just have to be friends with the girls for a while to build up your reputation.  If that doesn't work, there's always next year's incoming freshmen.  Good luck.

That is a bit middle school....but here is a better idea... send an email or phone call, say you be a the starbuck or local pub....informally invite them to stop by.....what ever response you get, will let you know where you stand.

You have to get it inside yourself to improve. if you try to improve just for that semster or something, technically, you haven't improved. You've just crammed some good grades in the grade book so you can have a good grade in that class. You have to develop the whole attitude of,"ima get my grades up because it will improve me as a person not just in this particular class." Thats what i did. I got one C in the third grade and i have been making straight A's, skipped a grade, and have been placed in many academically gifted courses. So a week wouldn't do it. You gotta work on it, seriously. Sad, but true!!!

I did CC in high school, and it was the worst time i've ever had in my life even though i was the top runner. i think you should quit track. it realy doesn't sound like you're having a good time of it. i wish someone would have made me quit CC--my life would have been so much better!Waaay too much pressure. I've learned that all the things in HS i thought were such huuuge problems really aren't that big of a deal. If you want to talk sometime, i'm here. As for the phone thing....it won't last forever. Use the time you would've talked to friends to write in a journal, figure out things in your life.
