SLap yourself about ten times and take ten deep breathes. Calm down. In chemistry you miss one thing you start to fail. I'm taking Chemistry right now, and its a piece of cake. What you need to so is talk to your teacher and your parents. Come out and say, " I HAVE NO IDEA WHATS GOING ON!!" Tell your teacher to break it down so far that a toddler could understand. You can get it, you just need the confidence. You'll have to spend more time with your teacher. Also look to the smartest person in the class, ask them for help. You'll understand a lot better since they're you're age. I haven't gone too far in chemistry but feel free to ask me questions about electron configuration, and other things at donovangray6@yahoo.com . Other than that, i have nothing. Sorry. But please e-mail me. I live on the east coast. I'll try to help you.

Hey there are a bunch of really concise review notes available at most libraries. THey might say "College Chemistry Review" or something, but they're good, simple, and right to the point.

You won't like this.
You have to study.
You are being tested for your ability to get assigned tasks done well.
I got a 3.8 G.p.a. and i studied seemingly all the time, I only got laid a dozen or so times while in college and lost those 0.2 GPA points from going to one of the top three parties of my life.
Both the effort to get the GPA, and the loss of the 0.2 GPA points were worth it.
Then things got to be fun!!!

Hey I know youve heard this before, but everone learns at a differance pace and a completely diffrant way. Try talking to your teacher and let them understand your situation.
They may be teachers but voice is power.
Also as long as your trying, i know of no teacher that will fail you for trying to understand.
Good luck in your education!

Look for an "Idiots Guide to Chemistry" at your local library. From the books I've seen of that series, they explain the situation and mechanics pretty well.

Ions are probably the most important thing you need to know in chemistry. The only way to know your ions is to memorize them. You need to know ions before you can do anything else.
Good luck! I hope you understand the material soon.

just mix a couple of chemicals together during the exam and blow the classroom up - then the class will be dismissed and you will be cool...
or...
you can study

If your teacher is giving you a hard time about it, try talking to your parents, the principal, or the counselor about it.
