If I ever got a report card like that....my parents would just explode and rage at me a lot. o_o;

As everyone said, get a tutor, STUDY (maybe ask if you can do some after-hour studies at school perhaps?), go to your library if you need resources (yeah, it does help! ), don't play Guild Wars! Well...when you get home you could dedicate maybe 2 or so hours of homework and then play GW? ^^; ) Hope this helps! XD

To get marks like those you probably not showing up to class, not doing your work, not handing in assignments, not doing tests. It is hard to get marks that low unless you have no logic/reasoning skills.

Are you proud of those grades that you want to share them with the community? Were you expecting people to say, oh that's not that bad?

I think you are missing the target of Education. Mainly:

You couldn't get over a 4.0 at my high school either, no matter what classes you took. However, the community college I go to has grown to where they have to turn people away. No where to park unless you wait around for a couple hours

papi, I think your title is a negative influence to any others who may be failing school right now

And if I ever got grades like the OP got, my dad would have another heart attack. And...

Fixed My parents really would do that. That and take away any remnants of a life.

And the idea of needing a GPA to get into college is because colleges don't want to accept just anybody. It's basically elitism (in basic terms). In my school you can get over a 4.0 GPA. Plus I believe some schools use a 5.0 scale anyway.

I'm not even going to bother giving advice to the OP because I think he's a little bit beyond it (plus he's already gotten the basic advice I would give).

This is what I did. Due to alot of previous home problems with mental abuse I messed up my freshman and softmore years pretty nasty. Oh how depression makes you give up.

When I got back on track I found I wouldnt be graduating till I was almost 20!! I did this program when I turned 18, got my diploma, and then went on to get a degree in computer graphic design.

The guys doing algebra, english and biology. Those are subjects that require a particular intellectual bias, which he clearly doesn't have. He might be brilliant at history, or acting, or music or art. My dad insisted my sister study french at school instead of art. F F F all the way. Just wasn't her scene.

In Guild Wars speak, if you suck at playing elementalist, try rolling a dervish. It may suit you better.

Education in Australia isn't standardised nation-wide yet. That's a little annoying.

The HSC in NSW wasn't so bad. I got into uni no problems.

Even though I attended a public school. Haha
