Too Much Pressure!!!
I'm starting to just not care about school. I was a straight A student for the past seven years, and now I'm getting D's and F's in my classes. My family is furious with me but I believe the pressure the school put on me, caused me to just give up. Please reply soon!

It can really catch you off guard when school takes a turn and you can't keep up.  It's difficult to say why things have suddenly gotten out of hand, but if you can answer some questions, we can get started on a plan of action.

1) Is there something else going on in your life that is distracting you from school?
2) Is there a particular subject that is taking all of your time up?
3) Do you think you're dealing with a learning disability?
4) Is there a particular teacher that's bothering you?
5) Is there someone or something about school that has you off your game?
6) Are there other activities that are taking all of your time?
7) Have you asked anyone for help, like a tutor or a school counselor?

Try to really think about this so we can pinpoint the issue.  Having things suddenly become impossible at your age is pretty odd.
