Is it normal to care this much?

I keep failing my tests and quizzes. I study for them, but every time I fail. I have started punishing myself. At first I took away my Xbox and computer, but that didnt work. I was just too lazt to study for hours. I then started cutting myself, 1 cut per point below an 80%. That didnt work. Now I am deeply depressed and failing. Last year I was an A student but now I have a C in three subjects. I really want to get good grades. Is it normal to care this much?

    Don't hurt yourself! None of us are perfect. Maybe school isn't the best place for you to learn, it probably isn't for me either. Do you have pushy parents that judge you on your school preformance?

    It's normal to care about school even to the extent where u take away fun things...but self harm won't help. You'll just end up feeling scared instead of just nervous over school about the pain 2 b inflicted if you get under aget below a certain %.So my mom'll b home n 20 then it only takes like 5 2 get over there..sry I thought she'd b here sooner

    ex-cutter talking- i won't tell you to stop, because i wouldn't have if others did, but i will say you don't need it as much as you think-try to not do it for a week and see how much you desire it...as for the grades, its not about the credit, its about the learning- just take what you need and leave the rest

    For the people saying to "not self-harm", it's not that bad. More people do it than you think. For some people it is the only way to deal with things. I'm not saying it's the safest way, but it helps. I think it's fine.
