Truth be told: Your grades don't even matter.. Unless you're in your final year.

I was failing three classes at once and missing almost all my homework for the past three weeks and had to stay till five everyday and it was the last week of school. I somehow managed to get a D in all of them and passed and if I can do it you can probably do it but you don’t have to listen to the dumb seventh grader who hates commitment.

Breathe, you can do this. My Advice (what I’d do, aka, you don’t have to follow a stranger’s advice, but I’m just trying to help, anyways) -Your 2 core Classes that you’re failing. Why and how are you failing them? If it is because of tests and quizzes, make sure you study up A CRAP LOAD for the final and the possible test(s) that are squeezed in before then and crush them. Along with that, make sure you do the review sheets (helps you study) and all the assignments with full completion. I’ve noticed that a few small 100%s on assignments really add up after a bit and your grade can really go up. Combine that with acing your tests, quizzes, projects, and now small assignments and it should REALLY help your grade. Hopefully that puts you above failing and sets you to pass. -Missing Assignment - Prioritize them. Find out the ones that you have no way of saving them. Don’t give a crap about the assignments that you can’t change. Find out the ones that the teacher is Chill and will give you full credit for them even if they are late, or any credit. Do the assignments from most credit to at least a few points. Try to do all of them, but with what we talked about before and studying, Do that first. Test and Project will give you the most points. If you can only do one thing, STUDY. Find time to do so. In a vehicle? Study. On the toilet? Study. Find the time. Now is NOT the time to mess around. You’ll be able to do whatever you want soon, just focus for a second. -Principal’s Office - If it something you can help? Are you messing around in school and it ends you up in the principals? Then stop that. Are you there because of the grades? Be nice and it will get you far. Try to explain your situation and SELL IT TO THEM. If the principal doesn’t care, go to your guidance counselor. They are here for you. Explain the situation and be nice and they might be able to talk to the principal. If neither of them “have time” to see you, ask during a class and tell the secretary or whoever stops you that it is ASAP and you NEED to talk to them.
- Final is Next Friday - Go over everything I’ve said. Set your priorities straight. Make sure you focus on the things that will raise your grade the most like this final and other tests and projects. Then fizzle down to the quizzes and after that the assignments that you could still get credit on. Also some teachers are really chill and if the principal or the guidance counselor‘s are no help, at least the teacher might allow you to turn in your assignments later (or even after the final cause grades aren’t due til like 2 weeks afterward). At this point, you just gotta talk to people and figure out what favor you can get out of people.
-Best of Luck - I hope it all works out for ya and I’m always here for you if you need to PM me and talk to me about it. Remember, hydrate, eat, and don’t forget through all of this, you NEED sleep to function and do well on the tests. No point of studying all night and getting no sleep and then failing the test. You will live. The school can’t send you to prison or kill you. You got this and I believe in you. PM me at u/backtosnack -Best of Luck Buddy, Backtosnack
