    Ok 1st you are not stupid. Everyone learns differently. I had a freakin hard time with math,and to make matters worse my teacher would f'ing diss me. I ask people that I knew math and help me. I also went online to learn to do math problem on YouTube it sure help me. I would also write the steps on how to get it. If if you are unsure use your calculator.

    You're either not very smart stuck with overly encouraging parents or you're too lazy to get things done and want everything done for you. In case you really are smart, let me explain maths: In maths, you write the answer the teacher wants. You associate formulas, methods with problem types and do them. Don't try to understand, just run the formula on whatever problem you are given.

    eg: A circle is pi*r^2 - Why? It doesn't matter why, it doesn't matter where pi came from, it doesnt matter why you use the radius, your teacher wants you to do 3.14 * r to the power of 2 so just shut up and do it. Call it the area of the circle like they tell you to. Maths are meant to teach you to submit to authority and jump when you are told to. It works, given the stupid majority that pleagues today's society. So just pretend you are like the rest of the sheep and all will be fine. When you are older, then break out of the mold.

    If you cant prove it, you are not smart. Crying wont help, work on it unless you have some other plans.

      that the dumbest thing i ever heard. everybody different so stuff im good at you might not be good at it so why try to judge me based on how well other ppl do stuff?? they suck at most types of art but i can do almost anything like drawing, painting, sculpt with clay really good stuff but they dont have to take a test to see how artistic they are so they never get judge like i do. its not right.

      Only you will know what will help you, no one else here will. EP people might put 2 good lines but that will not help with your problem. Do some research, try to learn and move on.

      Just hang in there, keep trying I am sure you will get through! Asking for help is not bad but you need to ask at right place and right people. Also there are not many who will admit this type of problems. Good luck.

    I understand how you feel, I'm dyslexic too, have you tried looking for some sort of on-line tutorial that might help explain the maths problems you have to solve?

      Ok, most of the time EPer's don't like Q's about peoples homework but you could try asking for help on Q&A, don't just stick up the problem you are trying to solve on Q&A though, try asking for someone to explain to you how to do the problems you are trying to solve.

      No problem, I really do know how you feel, it took me years to realise I do actually have a brain. Try not to let it get you, easier said than done I know!

      Just because you struggle now doesn't mean it will always be this way, you are smart, trust me on this! Your mind works differently than the majority, that doesn't make it any less smart, dyslexics are usually of above average intelligence but teaching methods are designed for the majority, not for the likes of you and me, that doesn't mean we can't learn, far from it, just that we need people to teach us in the right way for us. Don't give up, keep trying, it will be worth it in the end.
