i think i might have a learning disability, i might have had it since i was a child.

funny how i went though all of school and NONE of the teachers thought i did. now that i am trying to do something with my life, my school work and possible career is threatened because i cant understand this god **** subject. the moronic teacher thinks i am some 18 year old who just graduated high school with a A+ average. the questions are beyond my capability to understand let alone answer at all. i will most likely fail this course and be asked to drop out of school because of it. i am depressed beyond belief and more pissed off at myself. i dont even want to wake up anymore, i just want to sleep all day, which i have for the last 4 days in a row. i refuse to take any phone calls now OR answer the door, let alone get the mail. i know there are people who attend college with these disabilities and still graduate, why am i not involved? you know why? because my ****** up doctor thinks i am JUST FINE, isnt that great? i swear to almighty god, if something good doesnt happen soon, i am going to fucken lose it

It’s possible you don’t have a learning disorder but are just struggling in your class b/c it’s a subject you are weak in. I know that I am weak in math and that when I enroll in that class I will need to study extra hard and see if my school has tutoring available to help me so I can pass that class. I also know that I do not have a learning disorder but that I just struggle in a couple subjects and that I will need to work harder when I am taking classes in those particular subjects.

You’re not a moron. Some people need to have things taught to them in a different style then it is already being taught. For instance, the tutors I see always teach to me as if I am a visual learner. However, I happen to be a more hands-on learner. So I go to the tutoring and take as much as I can from it but then I try to find ways to teach myself the stuff I need to learn using my own learning style. For instance, with math I found that there was software out there that I could use which would help me learn the concepts and steps to solving equations. Also, if you are still struggling you should let your tutor know. They will likely work to find a way to better help you.
