I was put on report at school because I have 20 demerits but I've learnt from my mistakes now.
I really hate my school and I want to move to the same school as my best friend and sister
About 20 people a year show up for the test.
Currently I am struggling in maths but I'm getting a tutor.
Everyone's really putting me down and saying I can't do it.
Usually I would just be like, well ill just show you.
I want to go to the top school in belfast and I currently go to a fairly good grammar school.
This time I can't shake it off because even my own father is telling me I'm to dumb, which hurts because all 5 of my brothers and sisters went there :'(

Well, the ball is in your court now. Show them that you can do it!

Being put down is tough, especially from your own parents.
It's nice to get encouragement online from total strangers.
But you brought this all up over a week ago, and it isn't clear that you have learned your lesson. Telling US you have doesn't count. We aren't there. We don't know if you had 20 demerits then, or got more since then, or what.
I'm a little worried that you come here for easy-to-get encouragement, when what you really need is encouragement close to home, and that requires DOING what it takes.
Good luck. Let us know when you have no demerits from a certain date.

You said you got your demerits for not turning in work. So, you need to get off the computer and start studying. I asked you before if you had a planner or something to keep you organized. You never answered back.
