Answer 1

try getting you a tutor and see if this would help you. I think that all you need is a little one on one time with someone who is really good in writing. Good Luck.

Learning to write well is a life long task. You can get better and better every day, but the job is never complete.

The best thing you can do is write every day. The best way to do that is to keep a journal. There are excellent books for teenagers on how to keep journals. A good one is "A book of your own: Keeping a diary or journal" by Carla Stevens. You can get it at Amazon.Com or Half.Com for cheap.

You also must read every day. Find any topic you really like, and then find books on your reading level about that topic. You may discover that on a topic you really like you can read at a higher level just because you like what you read. Don't let anyone -- teachers, parents, or friends -- tell you you "should'nt" read what you are interested in. That is the only way to learn how to read well.

You must write down the words you are not sure about and after you have finished reading you should go to a dictionary AND a thesaurus to make sure you really understand. Language is words, and so you must learn as many words as you can. Learn them as you come across them.

Finally, you must commit yourself to learning how to write simple grammatical sentences and simple paragraphs with a topic sentence. The best way to do this is to write (as in your journal), and then select some paragraphs that are not too private and show them to your English teacher, or any teacher you like, and ask her to review them and correct them and explain exactly what is not right about them. You may even want to take a tape recorder to these discussions. Most kids make the same mistakes over and over. So if you really correct a single mistake once and understand where you went wrong, you will be making a big improvement in your writing just with that one lesson.

Finally, stop saying you "suck balls" at English. Say you are already good and getting better. Because that is the TRUTH.

Here's what you do....Go to like Walmart, or Target, or K mart and get an attractive looking writing book, something like a diary with your favorite item on the cover so you can always recognize it. when something cool, or sad, or annoying happens to you, grab that book and write it down but, you must write complete sentences and full paragraphs. Before long you will be a great writer cause you will start to enjoy it. Oh.... While your in the store buying your favorite writing tablet, grab a Webster's Dictionary so you can re-read your work and make corrections, after all this is your life your writing about; its important.

I bet you just knocked off that question in the time it took you to type it. Other than an overuse of the word "like" it was well phrased. Go to your teacher. Tell that person you would like to learn to write better. A good teacher will help you as long as you show the desire to learn.

Reading helps. Keep up the good work here. Find an author you like and keep on!

Try reading... it'll spur your imagination. I can't imagine being without a book everywhere I go, whatever I do. Its like...I'm not dressed, if I don't have a book ... or two.
