Take more time to read through lessons

I don't really know what sort of advice I could give, since I don't have all the details. I will just say that - from my own experience - it's important to take a step back and just breathe. Sometimes we make things worse by freaking out over them.

Calm down and then make a plan for how you will proceed forward. I wish you the best of luck :)

Just remember that a GPA of 3.6~4.0 actually hurts your job prospects. I had a job recruiter come in to my accounting class and say he hates hiring folks who have high grades because they always quit, do terrible at their jobs despite having factual knowledge, have no sense of time management, and have disruptive mental breakdowns at work, and all in the first month of work. He said it is hard to find a legal excuse not to hire people with very high grades despite having a pattern of them being unsuitable for the positions when he was the interviewer, forcing the company to waste resources training someone who will likely either ghost their company or just not perform so well.

This. Most of the high GPA folks I meet are entitled spoilsport who suffered from attitude problems too.

Rather, people who get grades that high don't do it because they are good at math, or history, or writing, but instead because they are good at school. Being good at school only qualifies you for the kind of manufacturing jobs that stopped existing about 50 years ago: Get simple orders in the morning, then repeatedly preform that task until closing. Quite similar to "this is how you divide by 7, your homework is to do it 30 times."

I mean for one they can't be THAT bad. Also just do the stuff that you like

I don’t know if this would make you feel a little bit better about your situation, but I graduated highschool with pretty average score. I ended up getting accepted to one of the top universities in China, and the world, main downside is I had to learn chinese and study in chinese, I’m already in my fourth year and supposed to be graduating, but I still have some classes I didn’t pass, which means graduation needs to be postponed, all the while I’m thinking to transfer elswhere to finish those subjects in english. But hey, at least we still alive and kicking ?

Just look for what type of learning type you are? Are you someone who learns through audio or visual or through writing. After you know about what type you are, start learning your lessons by the learning type you are comfortable with.

Just do like me and go play Touhou on lunatic read some good novels

Quite true, here in India we need to have get good grades in school as a part of internal assessment and you also require to be present in school for 70% of the working days in order to be qualified for writing the board exams.

 

[RepresentingSilence]

Don't be depressed over your grades
be depressed because your degree will ultimately be a useless waste of time and money ?

 

[KiraMinoru]

Don’t worry, you’ll be even more depressed when you realize your grades don’t matter at all and the connections you made or should have made in university were what really mattered in getting a decent job.

It is sad because school is a place that sucks the life out of you. Well, at least the public ones, I don't know about private. Teachers are humans too and, considering that I have tried being an intern at a public school and therefore have some first-hand knowledge, they aren't that qualified to demand the level of attention and nerve-wasting that the school as a process makes the students give.
In fact, some habits and things you learn at school you will have to (sometimes painfully) unlearn later because of how harmful they are.
It's just a stupid, inefficient, time-wasting daycare for older children aged ~7-18.
There is a lot more to life than school grades, or school and if you feel that you can do well and feel that you can put in the work and haven't played computer games or such instead of trying - then it basically means so.
As for school grades - they are useless.

Err. Got a GPA of 2.3 from yours truly and I still have a job compared to a couple of grade A dudes.

Your grade is what determine whether you can enter. Your attitude is what determine whether you can stay.

But yeah, get a decent (passable) grade and maybe a letter of recommendation from your teacher/ professor to smooth out your career path.

older children aged ~7-18.

Enter school with 5
Learn four operand integer calculations and word by word reading
Graduate ready for work
