"Recently, I've been having educational problems in school. I am now in 10th
grade and I hope I can really turn things around. My grades are below average
around the Mid-C area. Please let me know what I can do!"

Dear George,
As a teenager, I understand what you are going through. The fact that you are willing to make a change shows that good things will come. There are 3 key points to doing good in school.
1. Procrastination
This is one of the biggest obstacles leading to success in anything from work to school grades. I cannot say this enough but you CAN NOT procrastinate if you want to do well. For those of you who don't know what procrastination means. Here you go, "The act of procrastinating; putting off or delaying or defering an action to a later time."
2. Time Management
High schools should be a time of fun and education. You shouldn't have to only study the day before the test but a couple of days before the test. Make a calendar about what assignments are due, if there are any events or meetings you must attend. This will help you a lot. Never study for a test the day before it, it never works. You have to study at least 2-3 days before the test! This will help you alot
3.Join a Club or Sports Team
Many might not know but joining a club or joining a sports team can really help. Scientific research shows that a hour of excercise everyday can help boost confidence and increase your knowledge. Joining a club will look good on your transcript and colleges always look for that.
Sincerly,

P.S. Thank you for being the first one to submit their problems and ask for advice. I hope you find this information useful!
