Can you name some of the most common causes for getting bad grades? would depression, anxiety and poor confidence be causes? yes or no

ACADEMICS: - Sub-optimal study habits/technique - Learning Disabilities - Poor sleep habits - Improper Diet - Less-than-ideal study environment And yes, depression & anxiety could play a role. I would seek out counsel from your doctor... though a school counselor might be a better starting point. You may also find help from pastoral counseling.
