Hey, take a time a relax. Find something u love and passionate about and work towards it. As for your gpa, your gpa doesn't determine who you are. I wish you the best in life. Believe in yourself.

Your stressing your GPA to much. In a few years when you graduate your employers are not going to be asking for your HS GPA. Try to find something you like. I just got an associates degree and I am 39. Took me awhile to go back to school as it was a regret that I never did.

Really? What do they ask for then? I live in the poorest county in my state and I dont know what I could do over here. Or even what is over here.

Were do you live? I would say many would just ask for Diploma and Degrees and not necessarily the GPA.

I have an associate's degree and I have never been asked for my GPA for a job. (Not that I have had many jobs, but I've had a few.) I don't even know what my final GPA is, I'd have to contact the school to get that.

College is a bit overblown these days... nobody outside academia cares much about what honors you had or what your GPA was. A college degree with a 4.0 GPA won't guarantee you a nice job like it might have 50 years ago. Associate's degree is the new high school diploma.

There are other options besides college like trade schools. The most important thing you can do is have a plan. Don't go into college not knowing what you want to go for. Having a plan keeps you motivated and on track. Take the time to really figure out what you want to do in your life career-wise. It is hard when there's so many options and you haven't even tried doing most of these careers which would help you to know if you would like it or not. Make the best, more informed decision you can.

My gpa isnt good either. Started out good though,
Semester 1 and 2: A,B,B,C
Sem 3: A, B, C, D
Sem 4: A, D, D, D
This semester doesnt look too promising. Kind of getting sick of school, too much online stuff. We just had a midterm online and I forgot all about it, so I got a 0 on a major test, and missed a previous assignment that was 20% of the grade for the same reason, forgot about it.
I'm really thinking about quitting school after this semester, but the whole reason I started was because I can only manage to get terrible food service jobs and all my money goes to just paying for my car.

I only had 2 or 3 online classes out of about 27 or so. With only one at a time it is not to bad but I would highly suggest avoiding online classes.

Where i'm from if you don't do well in highschool you can take a test that will give you a mark to let you apply for universities, do you have anything like that where you are?

My mental health issues were bad for me in highschool, and i also got bad grades, so it was the how i got into uni. Don't feel bad for struggling, you're not alone
