What subject were you bad at in school? For me I was horrible at Math. I got failing grades in Math from 7th grade through junior year of high school. Each summer I had to go to summer school to re take the classes I failed. I did try hard to do well. I got extra help from the teacher after school. In the United States we have these tests called State proficiency tests. My 9th grade proficiency test I did not pass until my junior year of high school. I had to keep retaking the Math test a few times a year, each year until I passed it.
