It sounds like you’re in a tough spot, but it’s good that you’re reaching out for help! Here are a few steps you can take to address your situation:
Talk to Your Teachers: Reach out to your teachers and explain your situation. They might be more understanding than you think and could offer extra credit opportunities or advice on how to improve your grades before finals.

Stay Positive: Remember that setbacks happen to everyone. What matters is how you respond to them. Stay proactive and focus on what you can control moving forward.
