Im failing ALL of my classes already! Most of my teachers wont explain things to me during break, so... here's basically what they say:
If you dont uinderstand, maybe you should drop the class.
UM...HELLO....like..NO?? Failing is better than dropping out any time right??
Unfortunatly... i dont want to fail OR drop out. Does anyone know of any Online Tutouring for FREE?? I need this SO badly, or I'll have to quit choir, and singing is my life... PLEASE help....

lovely day, here's what can i say... study or read and read your subject if you have a break and other words you make your time valuable, try to practice it. try to think what is your weakness then study that.. failing and dropping is not good as well. so like what i have said, that trace what is your weaknesses then learn it whole heartedly.. Nice day..:d

You need to get off the computer and get to work.. Set up a study schedule. Start each book at page one and do not skip. Answer every question. Talk to your guidance counselor. If you need help, talk to your classmates..there are probably kids in class with A's who will be happy to help get you up to speed.
Bul ultimately it is your responsibility. You have to study and do the work.

NEVER give up or even don't think of stepping back instead of moving ahead. don't u know "failure is the first step to win" or something like that.
however, i do not know exactly what are u studying...
here is a piece of advice i always give to students...
:study hard. whatever you study see if u can remember do not just cram on to your memory but try to understand by your mind and brain.
what you must do, before sleep while you lie on bed meditate upon those things you studied or wharever class you attended that day. just ruminate your day's work/studies.
remember--study makes us steady. but mediate on your studies and test your own understanding by asking yourself.dust off all kind of other disturbing thoughts and ideas.do not worry.
YOU WILL WIN

really?...what kind of teachers are they...they are supposed to empathize and help you out with this problem...
i don't know of any sites that has online tutoring...but i guess one of the things you do is to have extra research...more time to study...but don't stress yourself...before, when i was in college, my grades decreased so i have to do a self-study...read books a number of times...i mean, i reviewed a certain subject not just once..then, i use different books so that i can fully understand the subject...yet, i don't stress myself 'cause it lowers the good function of the brain...
don't panic...just keep on studying...

What do you need tutoring in? I am on the dean's list at my college. Southern IL University. My majors are psych and social work. I will help you if I can.

You may want to check with your school. Many schools have some kind of tutoring service they offer for free. If you know people in the classes, try to form a study group and learn from other students.

You need to think very seriously and make a plan, devote more time and work real hard. No tutor can help till and unless you have zest to reach a goal.
Make plan and point which is your weakness and how can you improve it. Devote more and more time to studies.
All the best.

Geez, I can't believe your teachers said that. They are so pathetic and unethical and have no rights to call themselves teachers.
Complain to your principal though I doubt it is going to solve your immediate problems.
Have you tried referencing textbooks? If you find the right ones, they can help you understand concepts better.
Another very good way is to get into a study group. Study TOGETHER with some friends - preferably get at least one who is good at the subject into the group. This way, you will improve by a lot, and fast.

I replied to your post to my discussion on tutoring. Also requesting friend status, so we can send private messages to each other. Don't know how much I will be able to help, but let's try at least.

I don't understand how a teacher can have that kind of attitude when someone asks for help. I thought you became a teacher to help people LEARN. I'm so sorry they're no help to you. Check with the school to see if they have a tutoring program. Most do. You should also go over the teachers' heads. Speak to whoever is in charge about the situation. Tell them that you want to learn, you just need help understanding some things. It may be a little scary to do that, but it's sure to light a fire under them and get them to step up and do what they are supposed to. If you like, you can send me a message. If you are having trouble with anything that I know a little about I would be happy to help you if I can.
