If you are a student, you may have one of several motives for wanting to "do well"

Perhaps your parents are pressuring you to "do better" than you are, or maybe you plan to pursue a specific career that requires better grades than those you are currently receiving. How you proceed will depend very much on these motives. For example, if you are being pressured by your parents to do better, is it because you CAN do better but are simply distracted, or is it that your present BEST just isn't good enough for THEM? After all, the most you can do is your best, so attempting to suddenly be a champion in a field you aren't interested in is both futile and a foolish waste of your present talents.

A student, or a parent. If you are a parent, the best thing you can do for your spawn is to give them space to grow, encourage them to get enough exercise and sleep, and make certain they aren't being bullied (in which case you MUST scare the bullies off - subtly - not simply take the matter to a teacher).
