Because some smart Asians abound, the standards expected from Asians in general is pretty high. That’s unfortunate and unfair, we expect all Germans to work hard, all Americans to be savvy, all Italians and French to cook well, all Turkish to be fighters and so on, but this generalization is false, do not let it hurt you. That you are an Asian doesn’t mean you have a greater responsibility to be a genious. While I would suggest you get a medical exam for a damage that might have occured in childhood, I think you need some uick tips and techniques about learning. Try to contact your counselor to get resources for this, you can find a lot of stuff online as well. If you have a problem you are running away from, 8 hours of study won’t help you. Try to face and lt out your personal feelings, and when that’s done, focus entirely on your study, as if its the secret to eternal life. You are not stupid, even though you may not be destined for a Nobel prize as an MIT professor, I’m sure you will have a very fulfilling life affecting other people’s lives in a positive way.

I don’t think you are stupid, nor do I think you are incapable of learning. What I believe, is what science has proven, and that is, everyone learns in their own style, and pace. Some people are better at learning from a book and reading facts, while other people are better at learning with a hands-on approach. I think you need to hire a tutor that will assess your needs as an individual and how your brain works, to find out the best way to teach you. The mere fact that you spend a lot more time studying and working hard on homework, proves to me that you are intelligent, just because your desire is there. You may need to get a patient tutor that will drill this information into your head until you have it 100%. There are vitamin herbs and supplements you can take as well, to help retain your memory better. Do you have a lot of stress and problems? If so, a key to your success may be finding ways to de-stress and relax before you take on studying for hours. Try taking a hot bubble bath right when you get home from school just to relax. While you are in the tub, try to forget about any social problems you faced that day, and instead, focus on remembering facts and information you were told in class by your teacher. I hope my advice helps you. Good Luck.

You are not stupid. A stupid person would not even be able to write a question down. You should just consider new methods for studying, maybe like getting a patient tutor and study the material more than once. Do not think about the grades, but consider the effort that you put into your studying. What matters is when you’re trying, and things will work out.

Please stop belittleling yourself. You are not stupid! School doesn’t come easy for everyone. You might have a learning disorder and if you do, oh well. You don’t have brain damage, you were capable of coming online and typing out your question with no problem. I have a learning disorder and I graduated from university with a 3.5 GPA. Pretty good for having dealt with the disorder for most of my life. It takes practice, and extra help on the outside. Consider getting a tutor. And remember it’s not all about work work work. Remember to reward yourself and have some fun.

Life is short. Do it up a bit! =)

You’re not stupid. The methods you’ve been using just are not working. You need to change how you’re studying.

Rules of Studying:

Don’t cram.

While studying, work for 45 minutes, then take a 15 minute break. you’ll retain a LOT more info that way.

During school take notes on EVERYTHING the teacher says.

Don’t be afraid of asking questions, it’s the only way you’ll learn.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

If you continue putting your self down I would say that is a stupid thing to do

Ok maybe you are not doing as well in school as you would like, thats ok providing you can say you did your best.

The reality of life is.

The guy who gets the top grade does not automatically get the best job. In fact most of the most successful people in business did not do well in school.

Stupid people would not be able to write a good question like yours already. Do not be shattered by the failure you had faced. Perhaps you had not applied an effective learning method for yourself. The human is said to had multiple intelligence; where, some can excel their learning at best when they learn by artistic means, such as music and visual, while some are effective learners by literary means. Maybe you can find a way to change your ways of learning things favorable to your brain’s memory.

Being smart has nothing to do with family gene’s. Just apply yourself more and you probably need to see someone you may be getting too excited to take tests some people have trouble with that a trained physiologist can help you.
