Grades.Suck.

Ever since I'm young, I always believe that my worth is based on my grades. Now that I'm in highschool, my grades are dropping. I tried my best but it's not enough, I'm not enough. I'm scared that once my place on top students list drop, my parents will get disappointed and my classmates might tease me about it. I've been overthinking the outcomes for days. I need to share this to lessen it a bit, I guess.
I suggest you find another way to assess your worth. Good grades mean nothing in the real world. Once you get working, you will realize this. Your parents like concrete results. Your grades are their proof. Do you have extra-curricular activities? These can help you. Fun. Merit. Achievements. Clasmates only matter to you. Try focusing on doing your best job at whatever you do. That is the best way. Good luck.

Grades are irrelevant. The only purpose of grades is to gauge how well a student has absorbed instruction and is able to regurgitate it.

What matters about education — the only thing that matters —is what you as a student learn. That's only something that you can do yourself — teachers and tutors and the like can only help guide you to learning, but they cannot do it for you.

The emphasis others put on grades is shallow and unhelpful, especially for you, because it sounds like you are having trouble regurgitating instruction presented in the proscribed manner. It may be that you need a different learning paradigm in order to be able to internalize the subject.

Don't base your self worth on an arbitrary score like grades. Don't allow the opinions of others to form your sense of self worth. You are a person. You are valuable. You will figure out a way to guide yourself through and learn what you need.

When i was younger, i used to struggle with my grades aswell. It wasn’t that I didn’t study hard and try my best but still no matter how hard I tried, i got bad grades. Have you tried other techniques for studying, if you feel like no matter how much you study isn’t enough? I know it’s hard, but hold on. You’re much stronger than you think, and I know you’ll be able to get your grades up!❤️

I have seen alot of students from my days in school to today, worry frantically about their grades. You need to find another way on how to measure your success. Try focusing on ways you can be successful. Once you get out to the real world, grades and high school life won't mean anything.
