Majoring in Math?

I am mediocre in math but I love it. My average math scores in High school would be 83/B-. I want to be a high school math teacher. My state requires majoring in math (128 hours) plus several hours in secondary education classes to get certified.

I heard horror stories that the math major is one of the hardest majors of all times. I also heard a lot of them failed college because they cant handle the pressure.

Should I consider something else?

I was a math major, it is very difficult, but if you work at it you should be ok. Maybe major in education, or general science and take as many math courses you can handle.

If you know that you want to teach, I recommend a degree in Education with a focus on math education.
