Welcome to Gaia! ::

When it comes to school I become a**l, yeah that's the best word I can use to describe. I'd slit my wrists for freakin A's. Yet all this year no matter how hard I try I can get all A's there are always two C's and it's killing me. Why grade? People always ask this question and that bugs me. All of my siblings have something going for the: the eldest: looks, brother: athletic, youngest: everything but school. I wanted something for my self so I indulge myself in the arts and academics, but i'm starting to hate school. Never have I hated it before. I'm sick and tired of hearing calm down, take it easy. It's not easy and I can't calm down if I could i wouldn't be pissed in the first place =.= please help me.

So, you get C's in two of the same classes everytime on your report card, eh?

The best advice I could give you is to ask those two teachers who teach those subjects that you are struggling and to see if maybe there's extra credit available amoung those two classes.

You could also maybe ask your friends to help you. I'm sure your friends are just as intelligent as you, and perhaps they can help you study for tests, or even help you on homework. You could get together with them and have a study party! ^^

Or, you ask your family. If you have any older siblings or your parents. I'm sure they could help you out!

The key thing to remember is to talk to people if you are unhappy about something. They can help you and give you advice! ^^

Im not going to read what everyone else is saying but here's my advice.
I understand that theres competition in the family. I know that you want your parents to see you for who you are and what not. The problem is ... you need to find yourself before you think of anyone else. If you have something you're good at and you know you can excel in it ... then go for that. You've found that its not grades and this is perfectly fine. You need to find something you like and something thats easy for you.
Heres the deal. when i was a kid i had a sister that was older than me. she got amazing grades and was perfect in soccer. she was someone to follow. as i grew older i become more depressed. my own soccer team was losing their games and i wasn't happy because everyone in my family talked about my sister because she was one of the first(along with my cousin who's the same age) to go to college in this generation. I was jealous. I freaked. I wanted the attention so i'd get into these depressive fits, refused to go to school, freak out with panic attacks ... the works. I got my attention. Everyone was worried for me but the funny thing was i was starting to become different from my sister. I quit soccer and took up music playing the cello. The cello came easy for me and because of this my grandparents worshipped me and my parents we're amazed because i got into an upperclass orchestra called regionals in 8th grade. i wasn't very good in school. i didn't study much, took the tests, passed but not with flying colors. i was able to get by. my happiness came from playing the cello.
Take the one thing that you're good at and use it. You say you're interested in the arts? Focus on that. You don't have to have things perfect. You also don't have to focus on other people. You must do things for yourself and nothing else despite the urge to suceed more so than others. I almost mirrored my sister. My sister now is divorced at 27, drinks heavilly, is obsessed with her job and can't keep a boyfriend. Everything she does makes me hate her more and more and im so very glad i took my own way. I did things that was right for me and no one else. I did what i did because it made me happy. I wasn't planning on getting other people's attention, it just happened. The moral of the story is trying to be better than other people will make you lose your mind and get depressed. Instead of taking my way of doing things, try to ignore everyone else and find something for you to do well at. You put way too much pressure on yourself. You think that other people expect for you to be better than your siblings? perhaps, perhaps not ... if your parents compare then they're bad parents. its okay to think that your parents and siblings are full of crap. its okay for you to be different. its also okay for you to relax a little.
to tell you the truth i can go on and on with advice because im an over caring person. i understand easilly where people are coming from because after i go through my depressing fits i think very logical and very realistic of the way things should be and should have been. so please, talk to me, im willing to help.

I have the same problem. But then again, I'm slightly a procrstinator. I'm sure you have the potential to get those A's, you just need to utilize your resources better. Think of creative ways to remember stuff, learn stuff or understand it.

heres what u do. see if the c's are in teh same 2 classes. if they are, get a tutor. if not study harder, no phone, no comp unless for hw. no tv either. it workd believe me.
