You need to practise your basic facts (basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and divisin) until you know them inside and out. Not knowing these facts is the source of most math problems. You should work towards doing all facts for a particular operation (100 of them for each operation) in no more than 100 seconds. You should also be able to easily see the missing number or be able to come up with combinations for a number. For example, if I tell you 12, you should be able to come up with 6+6, 5+7, 4+8, etc., or for factors, you should be able to easily identify all factors: 1x12, 2x6, 3x4.
Other than that, you have to make sure you take a thinking approach to math. If you approach math as just a bunch of rules to memorize here and there, you're going to mess yourself up. You need to think about every step you're being told to do for something, trying to understand what's going on; at the very least, understanding what the step is working towards. The more practice, the better you understand and the less you need to rely on rules.
What it boils down to is that once you know basic facts, after that, it's mostly logic.

Ask your teacher to help you find an upperclassman tutor. Most schools have students that do that. Or find a tutor outside of school, maybe a friend who gets good grades in math. Just be sure you study and not play, though. If your math is really bad, you might consider asking your folks to enroll you in an after-school learning center like Sylvan for some math help. It is expensive but very effective.

The very worst thing you can do is tell yourself that you're weak at Math (or that it's too difficult), it's a self fulfilling prophecy.
If you're positive and determined to learn then you will find that it isn't as difficult as you thought.
You will also need practice.
Good luck
Glurpy, you are getting math and numeracy tangled up, it is possible to be good at math and suck at numeracy - especially since the invention of the calculator!

How about getting a mentor or tutor? Also, you can buy math books that may help you and asking your math teacher (if you are at school) can be a good idea as they can give you ideas and help you in your own time.

Your teachers are there to help you, let them know you're struggling. Ask for extra work that is at an easier lvl to reinforce the skills you have and to improve the skills that you're struggling with.

- practice
- do your homework (try to do it the night it was assignment as the new lesson is still fresh in your mind)
- get extra help from peers or teachers when you don't understand a concept
- get a tutor if one is available to you
Don't give up eventually you will see results from all of your hard work.
