It was my fucking fault...I just didn't do the fucking work.
I'm already doing two courses in summer school, is there ANY way I can still pass? I will waste away my whole summer if neccesary.
I just CAN'T fail....

Depending on the courses, and how high your grades in them are, you might be able to scrape a pass together. That's what it ended up doing to me(the system). Try some extra credit projects, like a report on something that's well written for LA, and Science. If you push yourself to passing, you'll pass. :) Mind over matter. Good luck.

Awww Matt... that's too bad. Did you have something going on or just didn't really care to do your work?
Either way, this is a difficult question for us to answer. Every school jurisdiction has different rules about passing and failing, and what can be done to make up work, extra credit, etc. Also, did you fail every class, or just fail a couple that resulted in you failing the grade? Are these summer school classes enough to replace what you failed, or did you fail more than 2 classes?
You should go talk to someone at the school who knows the answers to these questions, probably a guidance counselor if possible.

I'm also in Canada but I think there is some variation amongst provinces and territories. However, your school system may allow for your grade from the summer course to over-write the one you did in school if it's higher. You need to talk to a guidance counselor because they can offer better advice and they know the system better. If you do good in the summer courses, it may help you pass depending how good and what you have currently. Extra-credit would would also help a lot.
Have you tried something such as Kumon or Sylvian Learning Center? I used to do Kumon because my English was poorer than average but math was at least 1-2 grades above, and they can help but only if you're dedicated. Or any other tutor may be equivalent. They can also help to keep you going and give you more drive to succeed.

If you failed grade eight already, other than summer school, you have no way to "pass" it.
I suggest you get to wasting and in the future, put school first.
Hopefully you can make up everything you need to but your education should come first before being on VT or playing video games or any personal strife that you may endure.
Its 12 important years of your life and they are impossible to get back if you screw up too much.
Without a diploma, you can't do squat in the world.
Have fun with your summer and work hard this time :P

I failed more than those two classes. At certain times of the year, I had something going on (parents fighting etc.), other times I just didn't care to do it.
