I am 16, in grade 10 and my grades are on a downhill tract. I got As and Bs in 8 and 9 but G10 is extremely hard and pressuring. I study hard every day and do NOT game a lot(Maybe 15 mins a day playing BF3). I know G11 and G12 are going to be much harder, and I will never get to go to University/College.
What could I do? I really feel bad.
If you are taking honor or AP classes drop them and get regular classes. I say its better to get As and Bus in regular than Cs and Ds in honors. You'll get a higher GPA. If your worried about college admission look into joining a sport. You'd be surprised at the people that are in college. Not all are book worms. Community college isn't a bad thing to join either. Talk to your school counselor.

You need to examine where your grades are lacking. Are you completing and turning in all homework? How are your test grades?
Tutoring is a good idea, too. I don't know you, so this one is unlikely, but if you have even minor learning disabilities, there is a LOT that can be done.
All challenges can be overcome if you understand the areas of weakness and devise a plan to overcome them, specifically.

If you can, a tutor can work wonders. They can be expensive I realize. My son homeschools, and we got him a tutor for algebra. It has really made a difference for him.
When I was in school, wow 22 years ago, I got behind and never caught back up. I did get a 3.0 GPA, but only because. I was real good in certain classes, so be wise with you course selections. Pick subjects that you can do well in to go along with the rest.You would probably find your teachers to be very helpful if you asked them for help. They love it when someone wants to learn, and shows initiative.
Also, college is not the only way to make it in life. There are many fields and business opportunities for someone without a college degree. I am not rich, but have zero debt, own my house, cars, toys, etc... I own my own company and never finished college. Just wasn't for me. I know several millionaires who never went to college. They were just smart with their choices!
Don't give up. That never accomplished anything .
Good luck.

If you have a chance to do some internships at museums or a zoo, go for it, I did and had a blast! It adds an element of fun to high school. Also I transferred out of high school to the high school completion program at my community college in Portland, absolutely loved it! Anyway just be smart and enthusiastic about your choices, and try to enjoy a few courses along the way.

Idk if this is the right place to go, but I'm at a pretty bad place. My gf of 2.5 years just broke up with me about a week and a half ago. She keeps telling me to move on and stuff, but we had a history of coming back to each other. This time she says its real. Now, I tried took her advice and tried moving on. I went to this small party last night and her one, pretty babish friend was there. We talked a lot and later told me that she wouldn't hurt my ex like that but told me I'm a pretty good guy. I think I like the new one, but I'm worried that what if my ex comes back? I don't want to hurt this chick cause I kinda care about her. My friends who are pretty close to her told me I should wait a month then go after her. I just need some help, you guys seem pretty smart.

18. I'm a senior in high school. Y a I know its hs BS to most. But they said to take like a month off then try with the new girl. And to not talk to my ex or hangout with her unlees she texts me first. My ex is 18 too and is off at college 5 hours away.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
Your ex sounds pretty determined that it's off for good. You shouldn't put your life on hold hoping she might change her mind but you shouldn't rush headlong into something else either. The new babe has potential? Tell her you like her and that you hope that something happens in future, but that you don't want to make a rebound mistake.
Go out with some friends and keep yourself busy with stuff you enjoy. Try to put your ex out of your mind and take advantage of the free time you have now. Don't be tempted to make a fool of yourself with your ex when you're feeling low. Months from now when you're looking back on this time, you will want to be able to hold your head up and say that you kept your dignity through the hard times.
If its meant to be, you'll get back together sometime. The question is when. When I was in high school I dated someone for a year. I broke up with her and some how 3 years later we found each other. That was 2001. We are now married and have 3 kids.
But to be honest, since you said she's in college 5 hours away, it sounds as if she found someone else or doesn't want to be that committed to any guy. Between the college atmosphere and 100' s of new people and new friends, they are more, I've seen so many relationships end when one of them goes onto college or both go to different colleges. You want someone who is there everyday.
Either way I would pursue the new girl. You don't need to sit around and continue to be sad.

Thank you. That's what I was thinking about doing. What worries me though is what happens if we reconnect over her Xmas break? I don't want to ruin this new girl, she had guy problems in the past. Also I have the problem of these two girls being friends. Good idea or bad idea? My friends said wait and then see. I have to prove it to the new girl that I'm worth it and that she isn't just some rebound, which she isn't.

If the new girl isn't worried about what it could do to her relationship with your ex, why should you. You need to do what will make you happy. If your ex wants to get back with you later in, but you have found someone that makes you happier, that is her loss. She made the decision to leave you. If you're waiting to see if its meant to be, you could be waiting years, months, or even a lifetime. Move on and let life take its course. The lowest points in your life will only make you.stronger.

Who cares if you're like that? Chicks don't like the super macho douche man. If you're looking for the kind of girl that does then stop looking for relationships and start looking for an easy score. Living up to the standards of sleeping with as many people as you can is actually kinda gross to me personally. Just do what you want, not what you feel as if everyone else will approve of.

Just keeping it real...the work ethic needed to succeed in those classes will be invaluable at the next level. You'll have a great foundation to work from when you get to college; you'll likely be ahead of some people.
You might even get out of some intro courses if you get 4s and 5s. And trust me, you want that. I loathe my non major classes like Comp and Biology. Had I done better on the AP tests then i wouldn't have that problem.
Come over to the dark side...
I can tell you this: the work ethic instilled is great, but you will honestly miss out on some concepts if you skip university level intro courses. AP classes do not cover everything that is taught in Chem I, Bio I, Calc I, etc. Maybe for Lit classes it's fine as those are more writing skills based, but I don't feel AP courses fully serve the purpose they are intended for.
That said, work your butt off and you will be well ahead of the curve.

for the past 3-4 years, I've been learning and working with computers. Im not a pro at it but I know more then the average person.
Well I've been doing a lot of thinking and its time I go back to school to improve my life. i want to get more into the computer world and chase a computer science degree. My question to you guys is, where should I start? I know I need to look into schools, classes etc. what I mean is what can I start studying in the mean time (before I actually start my schooling) so that I can have a head start.

What kind of thing do you want to do with computers? Hardware, software, app development, web development, game development, db admin, network admin? There's loads of routes to go down, all dependant on what you want to do.
And if anyone recommends a programming language to you before you answer that question then they don't know what they're talking about. Either that, or they're just saying "this is what I know - look at me - aren't I clever?".
Im leaning toward network admin. Im planning to aign up fall or winter classes but I wanna study a bit before starting. My company will pay for the schooling depending on the grades.

I can't advise you on the network admin side of things, other than you'll need a good degree to get a decent job, or start really at the bottom and work your way up slowly. It's quite a well-educated field, for real pros. There's plenty of hack and slash network admins out there, but they're the type that bring networks down by saying "I wonder what that does!"

Absolutely, good luck with it. I was 22 before I got a qualification in programming, despite developing software since the age of 8. No-one would give me a job without it, so I did a course, got the paper and got a job. Been doing it ever since.
It's good to do something new and start over, as long as it's something you have a passion for.
I'm in medical school now, three years to graduation(but, I'll study another six years after that...). I have this friend, he's, I think over 30 years, and he's at the same "grade" as I am. He also was like you, had a "low-education"(help me here ) job, and then he decided to go into Med. I'm kinda proud of him, he's a good inspiration for people like you. It's a long way to become a doc, but it's never too late. I strongly recommend you to go to school, it'll be worth it!
All respect and luck shall be with you!

Definitely check out the Community Colleges in your area, especially ones that have really good relationships with the better Engineering/Technical universities in your area. You will save yourself a ton doing your first two years there, and a lot of schools that will even let you get complete your four year degree through associated Community Colleges. You also get the benefit of smaller classes and professors that actually know your name.
I just finished my associates after going on and off forever so don't feel like you're outback because you've waited. Get it done man, you're still well ahead of the curve. If you want to start this fall though you need to go ahead and sign up.

Buy myself a comfy couch and live alone and sit and soak in life. It's all I want I guess... But I get it you guys are motivated by things like your own family and stuff. I'd love to find someone but I know that probably won't happen because of the person I am. So I have no need to have a lot of money or be rich at all like most people.

I am really worried about my future. I like android, mobile phone, computer such technology things. But now I'm studying BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration). I don't like this subject. Now I'm in 1st year. Actually I completed my secondary education getting highest grade (5 on 5) in our country but I have completed my higher secondary getting 3.8 on 5. Its shame for me, for my family. Actually I have fallen in love in preexamination time. And she had a boyfriend so I had nothing to do. It ruined my study I still love her. Then I didn't get chance any good university in our country for this low score. So my family told me to study BBA in private university ( in our country govt. universities are the best). My background was Science in secondary and higher secondary.
I want to be like all of you. I want to study about these technology things so I always stick with my mobile, computer but my family dislike it. What will I do now? I am not enjoying the business subject. I hate it. I like science. I got poor marks for the f**king love which ruined my life.

lol,
my hobby is IT and programming and i'm a bachelor in business major in human resource dev't planning & management,
the thing is,
i enjoy my studies in business and love my hobby in technology,
every product design and feasibility researches i have,
it always involves technology because it is my turf,
apply technology in your business studies,
it will make your life worth every moment,
also,
if your a real man,
you need to make your own decisions because you are old enough to make tough decisions whether your family likes it or not,
its your life man,
you deserve to live it like the way you want it to be,
you are in control of the ship and no one else
before i finished i wanted to work in straighttalk wireless as a tech rep however my mom would'nt want me to study and work at the same time,
but you know what,
i did get the job,
i worked in the night and study in the morning,
i finished the degree and aced it!
my mom was proud of me even though she did'nt like the idea but at the end it was worth it...
love life brotha

Dude.. 12th = Boards in India..
I'm German but my high school was done in India.. I was in Delhi Public School, B'lore.. I was a loner in school. No one used to talk to me except one girl.. I considered her to be my best friend.. I even had a huge crush on her.. Just about 15 days before exams started, On valentine's day she proposed me and obviously i said yes.. After that i used to talk all day to her, keep thinking about her and what not.. After some of the exams were over(i guess 2 were left out of 5) one day she called me and said whatever happened between us was just a joke and she liked someone else. I was broken and ****ed up.. I cried all the time.. i couldn't study.. I couldn't do anything but cry.. I ruined my exams due to her.. and just got 69% aggregate..
I regret it till today.. That's the reason I'm still alone.. I've lost intrest in having a relationship..
So my advice.. Stay away from girls if you want good grades in your exams..

I think the system of study between your country and my country is so different. I love programming, technology very much. In our country there is no job for us. We can only do job after graduation. If we do job in studying time, people see it in narrow mind and they will think our family is mean/low class. The only thing student can do our country is teaching others(such as House tutor). Yes its my life and I will try my best. But I think the culture differs a lot. I think I will admit in an institution which teaches Programming or such things. Is it a good thinking? Then I can fulfil my dream.

i heard about how your country does'nt allow people to get a job while studying,
the best way to learn about anything is through real life application,
well,
anyways,
society in our perspective are two different things we rather not touch,
but for the girl thing...,
i've been there done that,
used to fall so madly in love with a girl way back in senior high,
i proposed to her on my birthday,
she said NO, fking NO!,
that was the worst birthday ever,
i tried to jump from our house that day,
got myself to the hospital,
the girl went and cried,
she said she was sorry,
i never said a word,
and since then we never talked to each other,
when i was on college who would have thought that we went to the same school together still we never talked,
now i have a sweet loving, beautiful girlfriend that is 100x better than her,
we are going to have our 3rd anniversary this 31st of august,
lesson learned:
wait for things, things will come in the right time,
if its not for you,
don't force it,
there's something way better in store for the future

From Bangladesh. Bangladeshi. I don't know whether you hear about our country. But I love my country so much. Yes I want to do my IELTS /GRE to go abroad. But not now because my father won't allow it. And there need so money to do IELTS/GRE. He just admitted me into a private university spending a bunch of money.

Bro its our human mind. I can't just stop thinking her like a computer can delete anything from its memory but I'm trying. Yes I want to be like programmer or software engineer whatever you say. I just love tech things. I want to pass my life doing this things. Buy without proper study it is impossible. I am studying business, how can I stick with tech things without studying business. If I hang with tech things than I will get a lower grade certificate after my graduation and a bunch of haters from my family!!!

My question. In the field of computer programming at this stage is it worth the 2 year investment of time and money to get a degree in computer programming? I'm 28 married with 4 kids. Is it a good possible career choice? I know its mostly dependent on whether you care enough to be good at it. Or is it a field that is flooded with new talent making it not so much worth it unless it been your passion since you were in your teens?

I think he was answering the short one.
Short answer for a short question. Lol.
But seriously. The job market is saturated with programmers and unless you have some programming experience it will be difficult. Also, if you still want to do it then pick up some text books and read it yourself. I can send you a C++ and a Java book in pdf. The ones I'm using this semester.

The PDFs would be great. Pm me for email. Though I don't known if a saturated market now with as many people out of work as there are will necessarily be so saturated in 2 year. I personally don't think that the american economy is ready to quit nor is the american spirit of in general. Sorry I know I said short question and turned it into a much longer question. I do enjoy messing around with the smart phones. I'm learning quite a bit. I appreciate the responses. I do think I'm going to go for it in the winter quarter.

If you're only in it for the money you won't go far. If computers/programming is something you're passionate about there's no limit to what you can do. People who love what they do are always successful compared to people only in it for the money because when they love what they do it becomes apparent in their work.
So would it be a bad idea for me to go into computer science when I go to college in 4 years?

Like I said, it depends on why you're doing it. If it's for the money your time might be better spent on a different major, but if you genuinely are doing it out of a love for computers you won't regret it.

I don't know that I can agree with that. While someone who has a true passion for something can be better than someone that doesn't would you really feel comfortable with a complete moron with a passion for cars to do your brakes? Its a simple enough system but should a step be missed the consequences could be deadly. Think about the mechanics from the Jim Carey movie the mask. for anyone to make a career of something over a hobby the major motivator is undoubtedly money. No matter the passion for you'll find very few people who would work on a strangers car for free. Me personally I am very passionate about cars. I enjoy restoring them, modifying them, adding that custom touch to make it stand out. Would i make a career of it? No I found after years in the industry I much prefer it as a hobby. Even though I have made insane money selling cars that I've restored or even my 10 second street legal camaro. I have a closet full of trophies from the 71 super Beatle restoration project I did in high school and spent a year and a half trailering to shows. I've also started at a restaurant as a bus boy and worked to general manager with no passion for the food service industry. Passion does not guarantee success. Unless that passion is placed in making g yourself the best you can possibly be at anything you do.
