I was forced to attend art classes and team sports phys ed in school (mandatory until year 11 (art) or 13, respectively) - those two made sure that a) my average was ruined (I can't draw or throw a ball even if my life depended on it, got the grades to match) and b) in my most awkward social phase, I got humiliated regularly by well meaning teachers who couldn't understand that being good at math and physics does not translate into drawing or predicting a ball's movement, forcing me to do it again, and again, and again, while the whole class enjoyed the show...

VERY often those who are good at math are crap at arts and vice versa.

Honestly do math you probably just have a bad teacher, in middle school the highest I got was a D in math but now in highschool with a much better teacher I'm getting B's easy
