i have like, 70 maths questions. i havent got a fricken clue how to do them, and almost 12 am, and they are due tomorrow. ive been really depressed lately and have been procrastinating and struggling to finish all my other subject's homework first....so now i have math that i havent been paying attention to, it's really hard because the teacher sucks, hates me, and he is creepy. plus i have SA, so i avoid asking for help at all costs.
well bottom line i screwed up, what should i do? i havent completed any maths hw since school started...it's lame. and we're doing algebra which is my most hated/hardest to grasp math concept ever.
what happens if i fail maths? and what should i do about my hw?

If you don't know how to do the questions, then there isn't much you can do. I'd say that homework is destined now to go incomplete I'm afraid.

However, assuming that you're struggling with maths as a subject rather than just with this one piece of homework, you could always hire an outside maths tutor to help you (although I think this is expensive). You could also look to change maths class if that is a possibility.

Those two solutions rely on asking for help which is, of course, not the easiest thing to do.

I know that when I did maths in school, I had the same problem. I just carried on with the whole procrastination thing, didn't do any of the homework and barely worked in class (preferring instead to distract the boy sitting next to me with stories about the Greek philosophers). I got a C in the end, which is mediocre.

My sister, two years later, was in the same situation (in fact worse, for she was predicted to fail completely based on her preliminary exam). She hired a tutor, and was able to turn this around and receive an A.

Exponents
Parentheses
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

in that order...;)

btw - there's a computer/math/science forum here. As long as you don't go overboard, there's some real rocket scientists in there....

Find a math tutor if anyone wants to work with you.
