What did you have the most trouble with in school?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm talking about academics, so don't just say bullying.

I had the most trouble with writing/essays. Anything else, especially math, was easy enough. But I can't handle writing assignments nearly as well. I get writer's block all the time. I feel compelled to make edits all the time if something doesn't sound right. My essays are always alot shorter than everyone elses (although they meet all other requirements usually. so the teachers seldom cared).

I actually had the most trouble with algebra, Math in general was my best subject, I mean I was amazing at times, division, add, subtract, fractions, the works, but as soon as I was introduced to algebra all the letters started confusing me like y = 3, x = 2.. blah blah blah.. I think that was the worst subject I did bad in, geomentry(I think I spelled that wrong haha) I liked because you could make shapes and stuff, I never did trignomontry(again thats spelled wrong haha). I never took geomentry in school though, just did it on my own, really like it. I defintely think though algebra is my wost subject.

English!
I coldn't write an esay to save my life.

Although I love history I realy hated it at school we had a teacher who just filled blacboards full of writing and expeced us to copy it, which I did without understanding a single word

Yea, writing and essay were never easy for me either especially when it was about me. I still can't do that. I can do it when it's on a given subject even then, like you, they're usually not very long. Just more to the point. So English was pretty tough but otherwise the only other classes I really had trouble with were with art and gym mostly. The teachers just didn't like me for whatever reason, thought I didn't put enough effort in or something I guess.

In school I always had trouble with math, especially problem solving. I also had trouble with harder geometry, trignometry and anything that I couldn't get my mind into. I also had trouble with statistics. Once I took an Elementary Statistics in College. I did real well grade wise but couldn't explain or really understand what I was doing. Also, in school I had difficulty with reading comprehension, occasionally I also had problems with writing even though I use to like to write a lot at one time. Sometimes science use to give me difficulty.

Well, I had problems in different areas but writing a flowing essay is the most but I progressed a bit since I'm in college.

Maths was my horror story. I just couldn't grasp it at all, and so I was really pleased when I managed a pass at GCSE level (which meant I could go on to study stuff I really liked, like English)

Homework because I have a problem working on homework at home. I'm just too distracted by computers I'm in high school and I have a class that is called Support so I can do my homework in there

I had problems with English. I wasn't too bad at it, I just had horrible writers block. I just stared at the paper for hours and hours. However, when I did get inspiration, I could write for hours and hours. I did best at research and formal writing, worst at essays about books/films/short stories and creative writing. A successions of bad teachers really didn't help. I was really good at math, computing and science.

English was definitely a major problem. Over-analysing texts is not my strong point; in fact I was so bad at it my teacher practically wrote my coursework for me as she wanted me to pass. I can do creative writing, when pushed, but there is very little of that involved in English these days. I was also awful at physics which I put down to having an insane teacher.

Homework! It has been impossible for me over the years to sacrifice today for a better tomorrow, whether it's homework, saving up for something, almost anything. I've tried college 4 times, but flunked out every time for lack of studying.

The only thing I was good at was English. I had the potential to be good at other stuff as well but that failed... thanks to a s*** system only fit for NT's.

Maths weren't my strong point - I'm on par with science courses and above-average language skills.

Class participation. My anxiety was overwhelming. Felt like I was going to die if I got called on. In literature classes, my worst subject I couldn't interpret or figure out what was going on. Writing was also never easy. Very constipated writing style. no flow.

The hardest part for me was the time between classes. Running into people in the halls and having to greet them and chit chat was pure torture. My fantasy was to attend a school for the blind so that I didn't have to make eye contact or stop and greet anyone!
