How do I overcome my depression about my poor grades in school?

It helps me to take in account that life goes on anyway. You study because you were told to study because that's what people are supposed to do. You are SO much more than numbers. You are a human life. You can breathe, run, laugh, and think for yourself. There is so much power in you to make a difference and you don't need a number to tell you how capable you are of that because you are capable of achieving anything you set your mind to. In five years from now, that one bad exam grade, those failed classes, all those bad grades will not matter. Your life goes on, as it goes on you evolve and develop. Think back five years, do you remember being stressed about a test you had to take? You failed, you passed, either way, it's just a number that means nothing to you now because you are a different person now, with different goals. You are smart, strong, and independent.

Realize that poor grades are not a reflection of any degree of you other than how well you take tests. I have personally known several people who were brilliant, but were not good test takers

Do not let a grade affect you're life. It's rather important to learn and there's nothing wrong in not succeeding at the first time. Try and try again until you are happy with the result. Good luck

I had awful grades in school, but my life has turned out pretty awesome! I took free courses from universities at coursera.org, here i could take any course i wanted, and use these to get my the job i wanted, and this is what i did. Grades at high school are not the end, only the beginning, you an choose the ending!

Poor grades in school are not such bad thing. Just try to be better, find some motivation and try to work harder, think of all free time you can have with better grades.

I found that it is easiest to start by succeeding in small things; making your teachers happy by handing in homework or assignments, answering questions in class and so on. Soon, I found it easier to focus on my work, because when my teachers and parents were happy with me, I liked it, and I wanted to keep it that way. So my advice would be to focus on one success, no matter how small, and advance from there. Good luck!

Despite the importance that some may put on grades at school, it's also important to remember that grades are not everything! You have so much more to you than just your grades. You don't have to have good grades in order to be successful in life. You will be just fine with what you have. I believe in you!

If you have poor grades at school. The reason you're probably depressed is because you're focusing on the wrong thing. Think about your options ahead of you. You can either retake your exams or find an area of expertise that you are interested in.

Just have more faith that it get better and you bring them up and not just bringing yourself down because you got one bad grade.
