Go talk to your parents and tell them you are struggling. Ask them to help you figure out why, and what you can do about it. Maybe you need a tutor for a while, and they might be willing to consider that. Also talk to the guidance counselor at your school. He/she may be able to offer advice. Talk to your math teacher and social studies teacher and ask them what you can do to improve your grades. Better to tell your parents and get their help than to try to hide it and maybe not find a solution. Best of luck.

in ur situation i would tell my parents. but since thats not an option for u, i think u should ask the teacher if there is any extra credit that u can do. Don’t be afraid of people thinking u r a nerd for participating in class. By constantly volunteering, u will make a good impression of urself for ur teacher. Teachers want to know that students care about their grades. So discuss the matter with ur teacher and stand out. It is important to show that u are making some type of effort. (BE A KISS UP. no just kidding) but it really is important to have a one on one discussion with ur teacher.

Boy, we have all been there and had those feelings. It is almost a feeling of desperation. Lying never got me anywhere but being straight forward eventually did. First I would talk with my teachers and get a feel for where you are going wrong and suggestions on how they can help.

Then I would tell my parents when the time is right. They are going to find out there is no question about that. Good luck

Study harder.

Attend tutorials.

Ask the teacher for extra help.

You should really tell your parents though and see about dropping to regular classes in the ones you are failing. Tell your parents that it is just too hard, but that if you are in a regular class, you may be able to get straight A’s.

They are going to find out that you are failing. Do you think they’d rather find out when they see the report card or from you? It would be the responsible thing to do to go ahead and tell them. Give them exact reasons why it is too hard and if you have tried hard enough, then tell them that.

You have honors in middle school? That’s intense.

Extra credit is GREAT for bringing up averages, or just straight up ask your teachers if you can retake the test. As for the parents, tell them. I doubt they’ll kill you – even my parents wouldn’t do that. If you tell your parents, there’s a good chance they can persuade your teacher to let you retake the tests.

Tell your parents you need help. It’s likely that if you apply yourself you can still make straight A’s this semester. Asking for help will not get you killed. Failing to ask for help when you need it and continuing to fail in your class work will be far worse.

ask your teacher for extra credit (maybe 5-10 points added the test grade) and look out for any extra credit projects your teacher announces

and ask him to curve your failed test (curving test score’s only work if the majority of your class failed)

study harder, play less video games, watch less tv

and don’t ever fail another test

and also, PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS

ask the teacher for some help and study really hard. also, if you dont get something ask! and make sure you understand. and if none of that works, then just go into a normal class or something (you will have to tell your parents if you are going to do that) but you dont have to tell them you failed, just say its too hard and they probably wont get mad
