Grades Dropping

<p>Well how should we start. I'll introduce myself first. I'm a junior in high school now and my grades aren't very good. I have a D in english and D in ap chem. I had all A's and one B my freshman year and all A's and B's first semester of my 10th grade and all A's my second semester of sophomore year. I moved out this summer and I'm a junior in a new high school. Not to fully blame my junior year teachers but my previous school teachers were much better and I know that I would be having A in english and ap chem right now if I was in my old High school. I knew the teachers very well and they knew me also. My chem teacher knew me very well and I would have been in my chem teacher class if I took ap chem in previous school. I pretty much knew every teachers from my old high school and I knew which teachers were going to teach me next year if I stayed in my old high school. I also had funnier friends. Ever since I moved to this new high school, some teachers are great but some aren't. I also notice students here are narcissistic about their grades and not so funny. I'm not a stupid person because I had 98% both semester in my chem class and A's in bother semester of my english class. The teacher in my old school taught much better for example my chem teacher did powerpoints and does powerpoints for ap chem also, I really liked it and learned a lot in class but here our ap teacher does not do powerpoints and expects us to read the book and do things on our own, talk about the difference. I really hate this changing school thing, my grades dropped and I have never received that bad grade in my life. If I had stayed in my previous school, I know for sure that I would have mostly A's if not all A's. Now my future is burned down due to changing school. I never thought changing school would have this much impact on me. Teachers are different here than my previous school. I went from a A student to average student. I wish I could go back to my old high school but it's too late now since we moved. Do you guys think changing school really have this big effect? I'm like fked here.</p>

<p>First. You need to stop thinking up excuses. While I don’t doubt that the transition did in fact have an impact on your grades, I also know that college admissions officers aren’t really going to accept the whole “it was a new school” thing as a valid excuse for lousy grades. People have overcome much more and have excelled. </p>

<p>Second. You need to figure out how to, as your name says, raise your grades. Whether that be seeking extra help, studying more, developing different study habits, devoting more time to your work, whatever it is, do it for the sake of your grades. Your future is not “burned down” - its only first quarter. You still have time to turn everything around. Don’t accept defeat just quite yet.</p>

<p>any one?..</p>

<p>LOL, my answer wasn’t sufficient? Is there anything else you want to be told about your situation, I’m confused. I hope you didn’t take my response as some type of hyper-critical condemnation, because I was honestly trying to be helpful.</p>

<p>Wow what an ironic username</p>
