Hmm is it one subject or a whole range of things? I suggest looking at examples of problems and reading material more intently and practice understanding and seeing how things work and ask someone to clear things up for you!

Study and Focus in class, don't just copy notes and not understand what your writing.
Get extra help, study with classmates, tutorials with teachers, medication to help achieve these? There's plenty of options but it all boils down to you.

First of all, pay attention in class so that you will understand as much as possible and if you don't understand something, don't be afraid to ask your teacher to explain it to you.
Study and revise as much as possible. And when you study, don't just read the notes. You have to work loads of questions as well from past papers, books etc if possible, so that you will put what you've studied into practice.
Hope this helps a bit. If you want any help, you can just send me a message or something. Good luck.:)

The reason I was failing last year is because I sort of just didn't give a fudge about life. I didn't turn in my homework at all... This year I have a few missing assignments..but yeah.
Hmm...it would help if you knew what you were having trouble with.
If it's keeping up with your due dates, what I (try to) do (if I don't forget) is leave post it's around my room to remind me of what I need to do (because for some reason, I have a great memory for everything BUT school work)
If you don't understand what's going on, maybe ask a friend to tutor you.
For tests, a study mechanism that works for me is re-writing down notes I may have for the subject the test is on. Or try going on to Quizlet.com. It really helps, and three are some games on there too.
I hope this helped. :)

Do your homework. It's one of the most simple ways to pass a class. If you do all of your homework on time it not only goes into the grade book nicely, but it really solidifies what you learned. It also shows the teacher that you're applying yourself to the class and taking the time to do the work - which he/she will appreciate.

idk how 2 keep u from failing.
I did a little experiment 1st semester ( my classmates said I was crazy that I would fail) and it worked 4 me All I did was show up 4 class and lisened not hearing there is a differance I took no notes at all took all the pop quizes, tests, midterm, and of course the final exam. no I was not an A student but I had a C average in all my classes. yeah my classmates still think I'm crazy because if I had really applied myself I would have had better grades. but I did prove my point. #1 show up every day possible #2 LISTEN in class #3 do all homework, #4 take all tests and u will pass.

There are many reasons you could be failing, and many solutions. Choose one of the following that applies to you:
1. You don't understand the material. Seek extra help.
2. You "study", but your notes come out confusing. Focus more on writing understandable notes.
3. You procrastinate too much. Put down the Xbox controller and hit the books NOW!
4. You're a pothead. Quit smokin' weed and be a student, you hippie!
5. You spend class time texting/sleeping/vigorously masturbating. Save those things for later.
