Doing horrible in school, please pray that I would change the way I study and my attitude with it. Last hope with myself 😦
 
For all you that prayed without commenting, thank you. I realized that I need to let go my own stubborn way and listen to my mom more. I mean my way has been not working lately so I am just going to have to follow my moms. Night guys, don’t stop praying.

God Bless you all.

Just woke up and saw your post. Is your mom saying “strange” things like, “You need more sleep to study well” ? Just a joke (but maybe real)

You are apparently doing other things when you might be studying… true? What might they be?

The “appetites” are an animal (just thought of that phrase yesterday morning), in us our sensitive appetites are like an animal, always looking for satisfaction, looking, hunting, visualizing obtaining the object of satisfaction (like a pet dog dreaming of seeing a rabbit, visualizing the chase, actually seeing a rabbit, springing to a run, then stopping when the rabbit gets away [or not] - dissatisfaction or satisfaction.

A pet dog also show a different aspect of animal appetite. My dog knows that my coming home time is coming everyday, that mealtime or petting time is coming every day. So she waits and does not have to think about how to make it happen. When I ask her if she would like to go for a walk (she knows the words, the whole sentence and all its parts) she jumps to attention and looks to see if I promptly follow her to the door. But she waits as I put on my sneakers, jacket, etc. She knows satisfaction is coming and waits for me rather than like with the bunny trying to make satisfaction happen.

With your reason, you can look at what you have appetites for, and choose what you are going to do and when. If you like being with your friends all evening after school, you might schedule an hour every night or every other night with them “guys, I’ll be there at 6 PM for an hour when we can do this or that”. Or if your appetite is hunting for satisfaction in surfing the net or doing a lot of FaceBook, etc. you might schedule a small segment of time for it “Tonight, I will have 7 to 8 pm for the PC or the iPhone”. The thing is, you have with your reason set something for your animal appetites to look forward to, so they will wait for it while you do other things like studying that are not animal appetites. Your sensitive appetites will wait for the satisfaction you have promised them.

Anyway, praying for you.
 
Your desire to change and the realization that there is a correlation of your attitude and your study habits is the first step in improving this situation. Could I offer a suggestion along with my promise to pray for you? As a retired teacher who spent many years in school also, I would do the following to help improve my grades. First, I would talk with the teacher/professor of the class(es) that are the problem and find out what I can do to improve the current grades. Second, If there any study groups at your school I would join in if possible. Just get started as best you can, I will pray for you.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners,
Now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

You could try to ignore them (has it worked in the past?)
.
But if they refuse to be ignored, please keep this in mind for the future - give your appetites token satisfaction that your understanding knows is appropriate, but no more. Then you will be in charge of them and able to do things that are not driven by appetite but that you know are good and right to do.

I can ignore it and it does help alot, but they always just want a short amount of time of relaxing. Through some form of entertainment.
