Ok, my worried friend!! As a former bad student who is now going to law school, let me assure you that you can do this!!! If you want, give this to your teacher so that the two of you will be able work on a plan to fix this.
First, if you are not already there, have your teacher move you to the front of the classroom, right in front of them. There is an old saying in college, "The closer you are to the fire, the more heat you are going to get." Good students sit up front because there is less distance between them and the teacher, meaning fewer things to distract you from what the teacher is saying.
Second, most bad grades are linked to weak reading skills--not your fault, but you will need to work on this. Have your reading teacher give you an assessment and find out where your weaknesses are. Then make sure your teacher schedules time for you with the reading teacher everyday.
Finally, go to your guidance counselor and have them give a "learning assessment inventory". This is a fancy kind of test that shows how you learn. With this information, your teacher can use the exact teaching method that they learned in college that matches how you learn. This test will also determine how you should take notes for your classes. Some people learn best by using a traditional outline--that was my downfall!! I needed to use a "mind-map"--do not worry about the terms, your teacher knows them and will be able teach you how to use it.
Good luck!! If you have any questions or problems, or if your parents or teachers want to contact me, my email is billvanrijn@yahoo.com. Let me know how this turns out!

It all depends on your study program. I write it all down over and over again. It takes a while but it works for some people. Maybe it will work for you.

Those grades aren't that bad. as long as it all avregages out to a B- or higher, you've got nothing to worry about. It's very hard to get staight A's. only people with no life get them.

try studying more by sorting the priorties out...if you need to study in math more than english onyl dedicate on hour to english and two to math...and try to eliminate the things you already know and go over unknown things...

Look up the phrase "grade inflation." That's how people get straight As.

Spend more time on your studies and less on the computer.
