Talk to your teacher and parents ASAP! They will be able to help you especially if you are in a private school... I go to a private middle school and they are really good about helping you!!

This is where you need to take responsibility for your actions. You need to approach each teacher and ask if their are any assignments you need to make up or they would let you redo. Be prepared for both good and bad responses and respect what the teacher says.
Right now that is about it because it is so close to the end of the quarter. I bet it has been rough but you can still pull through as long as you are open and honest with your teachers. You may also be having trouble with math and might want to seek tutoring. Good luck

If you have a school counselor, I would suggest starting there. You may need some additional tutoring in some areas just to pull you through this time. It sounds like you are a good student and may be just going through a small period of adjustment. You are just at the beginning of your teen years and may be influenced by all the changes you are going through. Please try to stay positive and I believe things will turn around for you. GOOD LUCK!!!!

i've been in that stage myself. i was an A student back in highschool, but there was a few classes i had trouble with for some weird reason. Fortunately, for me, i talked to my teachers and told them that i was having trouble with their class and asked if we could compromise. Some gave me extra credit, others provided tutoring others, etc. So don't afraid to ask and get help. That's what they're there for.

See if there are any students who will tutor you. Or get a study group together. See if talking with your teacher helps. He/she maybe able to explain something in another way, so that it'll stick. They may also notice your!! extra effort and keep it in mind when grading. Good Luck!

First, you need to worry about your spelling as well. Then, talk to your guidance counselor to see if you can get some tutoring in the subjects you are failing. You could also talk to the teacher's of those classes and see if they offer anything that you could do for extra credit.

Go to the private school! You'll get a much better education and whatever is distracting you and bringing down your grades will be interrupted.

Study!!!!! If you have a boyfriend, tell him you can't date until your grades are up. And please check your spelling. If your math skills are like your spelling, you should get into Sylvan!
