I'm sorry it's getting hard for you. Those grades really aren't that bad.

I'm in 10th grade, and they're REALLY packing on the work this year (All of my classes are College Prep courses, and I go to a brand new school that just opened up this school year). Last year it wasn't so bad, and the work load was definitely much lighter.

Do they offer tutoring at your school? I'm not doing very well in Geometry, and sometimes I'll go to my Math teacher and ask her for help at Nutrition/Lunch with some friends.

As for the studying issue, it's also hard for me to concentrate as well. Especially if I don't really understand it in the first place. Is there a spot in your house where it could be *quiet* for you to study, without any distractions?

Good Luck. I hope it gets better for you.
