Answers: usually im above average person, somtimes straight As.(im 11 years old)
If you or your parents always expect you to get A's, this is putting a lot of pressure on yourself.
If you are getting A's and B's that is really good.
If you are truly trying the best you can and you are getting C's and D's, you may need extra help with your classes.
Maybe the teacher can make time to help you.
Maybe one of your friends that understands the material could help you. Good Luck
Maybe you just aren't interested, and lack motivation. It is vital that you get 8 - 9 hrs of sleep every night, or you won't perform well. See study tips, and memory improvement, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris in sections 13, and 41, and start study/homework groups with friends, to cut your workload a little, doing all the papers/essays and analysis yourself, then the easy stuff, and your share of, say the geography, as someone else tackles algebra, another does science. Then get together by email, phone, or before class: only use 80% of theirs, and ensure the others do the same, but this will help little in exams, so do what you REASONABLY can. Academics is only one pathway to success, and many people are just not suited to it, so don't stress too much over it. Richard Branson left school at 16, and Winston Churchill performed badly as a student. Your future may well be in another field, such as: graphic artist, real estate, cinematography, feng shui consultant, landscaping, fashion design, aromatherapist, music industry, photographer, etc. School is about teaching some basics, and keeping students occupied, so adults can work, that's all! Try many things (except drugs, binge drinking, and the more dangerous ones) and develop those areas in which you perform well.
You can try to study more..... HELO, WHY ARE YOU STILL ON THE COMPUTER!!!!!?????
MAYBE YOU NEED TO BE LOWERED IN THE ACADEMIC LEVEL TO A BASIC PROGRAM i THINK THAT WOULD BE BEST FOR YOU TALK TO YOU PARENTS AND YOUR TEACHER
The best question I think to ask is, if you suddenly started getting bad grades when you usually do well, then what ELSE has changed, and is there a correlation between the two?
For example, have you started staying up later? Studying while listening to music when it was quiet before? Friends started calling during your study time? Started an extreme diet? Taken on other activities that take some of your time/energy? Have a new class that asks for different skills than usual, and you're not sure how to approach it?
Once you have an answer to that question, you have a starting point to work from. If that might be the cause, then what can you do about it to improve?
