Study harder. Get tutoring. The alternative is do it with your teachers so that they can improve your grade in the computers.....

Stop gaming. Seriously my grades where pretty crappy throughout high school and wasting time on video games was a pretty big part of it. Now that I'm in college I don't play games as often and my grades have vastly improved. You get used to it and you'll realize how much of a waste of time it really is.

Cut everything you don't need significantly. I'd stop TV and gaming all together, and cut social life to only the weekend. Get study groups for your classes, thats cheaper than hiring a tutor. Don't procrastinate, and don't be embarrassed to ask questions in class.

Drop out of school like I did on senior year.

No, don't do that :P.

Study, study, study. Every day. I'm not kidding, if you read lessons ahead of where you are, you'll be prepared and you'll succeed much more in class.

Well my advice to you is to read a lot (preferably a quality newspaper) and study ad nauseamfor your classes. You should probably also ask your teachers if you can stay after with him/her after school for extra help.

You should take better notes and make sure to go over them at home than if you are having problems remembering material.

That first, then second, do schoolwork. Its gonna be way way way more work if you think you are gonna work to pay for college. Say goodbye to life after high school if you take that route. Not to mention college will be pretty tough if you never learned anything in school. Did you think this through at all?

Do your homework every single day. Also, I'm not sure if your grades can increase significantly. The school year is almost over and if you've been slacking this whole year then the exams are going to be a bit on the brutal side unless your do some serious work.

If you're getting F's then you do.

So now everyone who underachieves needs ritalin? And hard work is the only way to improve, unfortunately. I assume it's not like Britain where you only have to do well in the exams at the end?

Too bad ADD medicine does the exact opposite it is supposed to do if you don't actually have ADD. It's similar to the effect of Speed in case you don't know.

Even though ADHD is over diagnosed as it is? and ADHD medication will only have the desired effect if the person taking it really has ADHD. There are other reasons people can fall behind.

get off gamespot, as mentioned earlier. secondly, cheat as needed, until you're back on your feet. most schools have a very active underground cheating group. thirdly, examine what you are doing wrong and how to fix it - doing your homework WILL get you better grades. also explian to your mom that kids with jobs have higher grades because it teaches them how to manage time - it's a statistic, google it.

Now I feel your pain, I went through this as a kid and it is really difficult to manage. I would suggest going to your teachers and asking them for help, and what you can do to pass. That is really your best bet. I had teachers willing to help me by offering extra credit assignments that brought my grades up quite quickly. If you show you want to pass, teachers will almost always try their best to help make it happen.

Do your work, study, and don't get off track or get distracted when you should be doing your work. Ask your teachers for a tutoring sessions. Other then that there is nothing anyone here can really do for you. Your the only person who can get your own grades up.
