I am sorry to hear that. In fact, there are a lot of things you could do. First, you don't need to worry too much about your study. You should listen carefully in class every day. You ought to finish your homework as well as you can, It's important for you to get good grades, You are supposed to ask your teachers for help. Soon, you will find it interesting to study, Second, you should be friendly to your classmates, You could also invite them to your party. Why not go to a movie with them?

If you can do these things as I say, I think you can make a lot of friends and do well in all the subjects. I hope you can solve all the problems soon,

Yours,

Ben
