try going to an after school study thing or get some help with teachers or parents. i used to be that way too. but i talked to my parents and they helped a ton. also, you should only be dating if you can do it and still do well in school. your education is much more important

'was' very clever?
You don't stop being clever because your grades are slipping a little.
Sounds as if you have lost a little confidence, it is most likely that the standard of work required has got a little higher (it does throughout life) and you will have to concentrate more. That does not mean work harder it means work smarter!
You are obviously very attractive as you say you get a lot of attention, this may not be just because you are pretty but because people like you for you. So treat it as a compliment. Don't confuse having a few dates with falling work standards it is not the boys' fault. You need to set clear times between 'work' and 'relaxation'
Spend some time with some boys but with girl friends' present as well, that way you can keep it on a certain level. Friendly but not too suggestive. It is easy to accidentally send the wrong signals, especially as you seem to suggest there are several suitors.
No need to drop out of college just need to make smarter use of your time. A good basis is give yourself some 'routine' like always have breakfast at the same time. Simple things like regular meal times allow you to build a basic day and then respond to opportune events as they occur.

There is a happy in between. Quit stressing so much and be yourself. And as long as your beautiful you will not get away from this, just learn to cope. Do your work and focus on that and the rest will fall into place. Now matter how polite you are guys take rejection in different ways, someone will always think you have an attitude no matter what you do.So please yourself with out being snotty and be you the other stuff will fall into place. Only you will cause you to drop out.....think of what your future holds and how you would want to see you in 10 years...I'd rather have a good job with some memories that college holds...than dropping out from being a social butterfly with the dudes( who will not be there to pay your bills).

I was top of the class at 11 years old and bottom of the class from 12 onwards no matter how hard I tried.
Make sure you are getting enough brainfood such as regular omega 3 in your diet.
As for boys, be an attitude girl if they come on heavy.In a few years all of them will be a distant memory.

Whatever you do....DON'T DROP OUT OF COLLEGE...
If some guy is interested in 'you'....he'll wait til you've finished college. If he puts you under pressure to leave, he's not thinking about you. You 'will' regret not finishing college now. A year or two now will benefit you for the rest of your life....can you say the same about some guy now.
If you have brains.....you'll know the 'right' answer.

Boys (and men) will be around for the rest of your life. Education will only be around for a few more years. You don't have to stop dating or having an interest in boys, but make sure that it doesn't stop or interfere with the education.
Lots of women are beauties with brains, and they are more in control of their lives than the women who thought that beauty alone would carry them to success.

Study and jump through the hoops now. You'll have many years to play later, and then you will hopefully be a more educated person in a better paid, more enjoyable job. Sometimes - we have to think of what is best for us.

Focus, Focus and Focus, you can have both but your education has to come 1st especially if you want to be that beauty with brains. You can date and have fun, but you must keep your eye on the goal!

Work hard but play hard too.
If you only work hard you'll be soooooooooooo boring. You have to expend your energy through fun times. It recharges them batteries to get you back to hard work.
