Why am I so pathetic at math and life?

Same with me bro. Same with me.

Here were my Senior year grades (final semester):

Mod. Literature: 92
Government: 96
Educ. 201: 98
Com. 101: 95
Orchestra: 95
Algebra II: 34

*Grades are scored out of 100*

I HATE math with a passion. I can't grasp it. Period. The only reason I got my diploma was because I managed to pull off a 61 last year in Geometry (That's 1% above the pass mark) and had just enough credits to pass.

I know exactly what you mean about when parents give you shit about the one or two failing grades but COMPLETELY ignore everything else.

"TYLER! You got a D in math!"

"But dad... I got an A in everything else..."

"That don't mean shit! No computer for a month!"

Dude, it looks like you're getting As and Bs in all but two classes. Only TWO classes! That's not sucking at life, that's succeeding in everything except two lousy friggin' classes that aren't going to matter, anyway. I sucked at math, too, all through school, and I still do. I just don't get it. Never even learned my multiplication tables because my memory is screwed up or something and I don't retain anything. Whatever, it doesn't matter because I haven't needed most of the math they tried to teach me, anyway. Unless you're going into a field of science, where you'll need math skills, I wouldn't sweat it. Coincidentally, I didn't do well in Spanish, either, but that's because I didn't try very hard. Laughing

Now that I live in Arizona, I sure wish I had paid more attention in Spanish class!

Oh, and it sounds like you have some depression going on, too. Might want to see a school counselor or talk to your doctor about it.

Hang in there, man. Maybe something like Sylvan Learning Center could help? I know next to nothing though, so don't mind me.

Sorry guys, but anyone who sucks at math IS pathetic. High school algebra is a cakewalk. You should be able to pull a 90% average without attending classes...

If it's of any comfort: I failed maths and physics in matric (our final year of high school). Fortunately, in the South African system, they average you marks out, so I had enough points to go to university (I was very good at language subjects). Now I'm a university professor, lecturing in Linguistics.
Concentrate on what you're good at.
