Everyone seems to have one, even if it is Gym. Mine is Science, or more specifically Physics. I’ve continually done poorly in it, throughout all my years of school.
Even now, with a test tomorrow, I just have the biggest trouble focusing and studying. As evidenced by my posting here.
How about you all, come share your woes about some subject.
Well ronincyberpunk , I can agree with you on Physics. That class made me suicidal. I just don’t have the brain matter to comprehend it.
Math made me cry more than once over the years. Math was evil and mean and made me stay up all night pulling my hair out… Math and I did not part company on good terms. Bah!
Science, specifically physics, came naturally to me. I did well and got good grades without even trying.
I didn’t mind P.E., with the exception of long distance running. I was good at javellin.
The subjects I did worst at were Geography and English. I was a ‘slacker’ so nothing was ‘tough’ for me.
P.E.
I’m in pretty good physical shape, but I get a lot of pain that makes me not want to participate in P.E, that and I don’t like dressing in front of people.
It’s a while since I was at school, but the subject I found most challenging was Ancient Greek. I did quite well in it, but I found that it required a lot of work.
Dressing/undressing I could handle, but standing in a naked shower room with 12 other males… noooooo way.
When I was in junior high and high school, I would have been a straight-A student if it had not been for Phys Ed classes. I’m a small, puny, uncoordinated person.
At the time, I thought it was unfair that a gym class was graded as if it were an academic course. In retrospect, I realize that P.E. was the only chance some kids had to excel and make an A. Those kids probably felt about physics and calculus the way that I felt about Phys Ed.
Math here - after algebra it just becomes nonsensical.
Chemistry; got a D in every chemistry class I ever took and was thankful for it. I don’t even know why, it all makes perfect sense to me. I guess a different perfect sense than to everyone else.
Gym. I’m out-of-shape, weak, timid, and afraid of the ball.
Science. For some reason, I don’t get it. I got meh grades in Biology and Chemistry, and ran screaming at the prospect of taking Physics.
While I really hate math, I do pretty well at it.
Mine is math.
Which is kinda sad, because I did pretty good in physics (74% in physics compared to 51% in math). Even now in college, math is my nemesis. I learn something and then I almost immediately forget it, as evidenced by my midterm where I got an A on the quiz and then a couple weeks later I completely bombed that section on the midterm (as in, I got an F on the first half of the midterm and an A on the second half). Thank goodness it was in two parts and I was able to remember that mistake for the written two days later.
Gym was easier than math and I hated gym too (most of the time).
Depends on which era we’re talking about. In high school it was German. I just couldn’t get the grammar rules to make sense in my head. Right now it’s biochemistry. Mainly because it just seems so pointless to memorize every little detail of a gazillion metabolic processes. If by some bizarre set of circumstances in my professional life I actually need to name the third enzyme in the citric acid cycle, that’s what refernce books are for.
German.
I loved the subject. But I sucked at it. All my other subjects were all maths/science subjects, but I kept German because I loved it so much, even though I was terrible - all my worst marks were in German.
So far, I have done well in everything and gotten As in all classes, expcept pre-Calc (with a 100% in AP Calc AB and BC), but what is hardest for me is English. This is mainly because how I interupt things “is not right.” One teacher, who I love to death, I am fearing facing next year because she is a radical feminist and objectivist who thinks Spark Notes are the “answers” to the material. Moby Dick is x, end of story, you are wrong - that kind of thing. Worst part, though, is she is the only AP Literature teacher. Ah well.
I never had one particular subject that I was bad at. Not even P.E.- even though I’m out of shape and no good at any sports, the teacher basically gave you an A if you payed attention and didn’t goof off.
Nobody in my P.E. class except me and one other guy wanted to shower either, so I invariably had the shower nearly to myself. Although I wouldn’t have minded if there were a bunch of naked guys in there.
Economics. Specifically, the Economics of Money and Banking.
It’s been 27+ years ago and I still do not have a clue as to what he talked about all semester. Thank Og he graded with a big-ass curve.
I’m just not any good at math. 
Oh, and similar to the German example, I suck at Russian. Love it. But suck. Hard.
Calculus. Up to that point, all was well. Then…brick-wall time. It made physics my senior year a real bitch, because I had to use trig for everything, and that took 5 times as long.
I hated maths, and until results day I assumed I was no good at it.
Let’s just say the highest grade by anyone in my class was a ‘C’. And only two people got it. Me, and the girl I’d fancied virtually my whole life.
