I completely understand your situation since it is happening to me as well and it is beyond frustrating. During my previous school life, I always got As and never worried much about it; now, I am failing most of my classes. This left me thinking that I am a slacker, stupid, and not good at anything. I do not have the energy nor motivation to do anything, which in turn makes school feel like hell because I am at a point where my teachers think I do not care about school and my classmates think I am dumb. In reality, I worry about school every single day and I know it is important for me to get good grades. After giving it much thought, I came to the conclusion that my problem is that I procrastinate most of the time instead of doing homework and preparing for my classes. I know that everyone procrastinates to a certain degree, but I feel that for me it has become a big problem. My procrastination results from a deep fear of failure, how can you fail at something that you haven't even started, right? So I recommend that you look deep inside yourself, analyze what is the root cause of your problem, and how can you change your current situation. I know it is easier said than done, and I have to tell you that I am still working on it. I encourage you to give it a try because it will help you to know yourself better. Good luck!
