What subject were you really bad at?

Post Reply New Topic

In all of your school career what subject did you struggle with/hate the most? for me it was french i could never make sense of the words or understand the conjugation

French it was the only thing I got a C in... Weird, we must share a similar brain?

Speech class, mandatory for graduation. You had to stand up in front of everybody and give speeches. I couldn't make myself do it the first time round, flunked, and had to try again the next year.

In high school I sucked at writing. I think it was rooted in not having enough time to work on it. I could write something in a few weeks where others could do it overnight. I ended up with such bad anxiety that I had others write for me and I even plagiarized a few times because I was so scared and so full of anxiety for having to rapidly churn out work.

In college, I did everything I could to get out of writing. I even went so far as to take a capstone project instead of a thesis. The capstone ended up being a two month part-time job in my career which I successfully did and ended up working with the company for another year. I still hate structured on demand writing.

On the other hand I love creative writing in my own time., where I can take as long as I need. If I write thirty words or three thousand in one evening, I don't mind. No pressure.

Maths. I had to give up after Geometry. I simply could not make sense of any of it. Most of my fellow classmates went on to take (and pass) intro to Calculus. I would slink away whenever the conversation turned to something connected to math classes.

everything except maths

Physics. It used unfamiliar math to try to figure out the problems given to us and i couldn't keep up with it.

Chemistry.

Math. I was bad at pretty much anything. To do with math. Funny though I passed it but failed art. I was an okay painter but when it can to writing about art I sucked. Still math was the worst.

Ah good I feel less embarrassed admitting that I went into complete brain lock in math class. I aced the everlivingcrap outta geometry, but algebra was too byzantine for me. I can't see why X is a certain value in the middle of a bunch of gibberish like I can when it's the hypotenuse of a Pythagorean triangle. Apparently math anxiety is a real thing, so like people anxiety, it kept me away, which lowered my chance of learning how it works, and the end result is that I don't understand people.. err.. math.

All

I struggled with lots of subjects due to dyslexia, low vision & my brain having problems processing things I do see visually(I could be looking rite at something that's big enough for me to see & my brain won't realize it's there). The courses I was worse at involved diagrams, remembering terms/definitions, names, dates, & writing. My worse & most hated courses in random order

English
Algebra 1
Civics
Biology
World Geography

Maths, but I was absolutely no good with the sciences either, nor was I any good at PE.

Geography.

History.

All the info about past wars, social issues, which king was which kings son or grandpa, why the countries couldn't get along, who made a treaty, when and why our country disappeared from the Europe map, patriotism, how many people died fighting for the independence and how they are "heroes" as if I care.

The whole history was too boring and social related. I don't understand the whole "patriotism" thing. In my opinion my life would be easier if I was born in Germany (therefore - knowing their language) because they got better economics and if the "heroes" didn't decide to fight the part of Poland I live would be Germany by now since it was occupated by Germany at that time. I mean - how Poland is better than any other country? Is it because many people died for Poland independence? Or maybe it is because polish people seem to love mournings? (Our independence day is just remembering about the dead - no fireworks like in USA)
No, it can't be it. I bet it is all about some kind of community feeling again. I am not wired to feel such thing so I will never understand.

World History. The only 'C' I got in high school, which I got through a struggle. Although, that really had more to do with the teacher than me. I got As and Bs in everything else.
