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

overcoming depression isnt easy .Have you spoken to anyone about how you are feeling.well done for coming onto 7 cupsoftea

Talk to your teachers and see how you can improve. Realise that you are doing the best you can. Take one day each week to focus on something that makes you happy

I don't know the particulars, such as if you have a learning disability or anything, so I will just try to be general in my response. Try to approach your thinking in this way: What does someone with good grades do? Does that person have a separate study area at home that is distraction free and not cluttered, with good lighting? Does that person stay out til 11 P.M. the night before a test or do they study days prior, do a quick review the night before and get a good nights sleep? Does that person have all of the notes they need to study for a test? Does that person separate themselves in class from the people that distract them? Does that person ask questions if they don't understand? Does that person also ask the teacher for extra help if they are struggling? The focus is then on what you need to do to be successful. It's one thing to say "I want to get good grades". Figuring out what you NEED or NEED TO DO beyond "just studying" is the key. The goal is good grades, but the FOCUS needs to be on what you need to do to get there.
