I have no problems going on in my social life.My school is fucktarded because they give us at least 14 exams per week.I'm in grade 10 and my grade average is 68/100.I can't stop crying because of my terrible results in school & I recently deactivated my Twitter account.What should I do? I always had the fear of not getting accepted to any university.I'm so sick and tired of crying about this.What do I do?

What do you do? Spend a lot more time and effort studying, that's what. Is this rocket science???

Take a step back, and think about this as impartially as you can. Your school may have a lot of exams, and yet many students at your school do well on those exams. So stop blaming the school. What is it about your approach to your studies that's making it so you don't do well on those exams? If you can figure out what's gone wrong, you can put a realistic plan in place to fix it. But if you just blame the school, that's not helping you.
So, if others can do well on these exams, why can't you? It's something about how you're approaching your studies. You say your social life is good - is it interfering with your studies? Do you only study the night before an exam, or do you start studying in advance? If you don't do well on an exam, what do you do next? Do you just move on, or do you meet with the teacher to review the exam, so you better understand her expectations? Do you get extra help from teachers? Do you do the work for your classes? Do you attend all classes? Do you get tutoring? Do you do the work in advance, or only the night before? These are all things you can be looking at, searching for ways to improve.

Ok i know this is kinda obvious, but you need to stop crying and feeling sad and become more proactive and do something about it. We all get bad grades from time to time. No one is perfect and everyone learns at their own pace.
There are many ways you can improve, and well done on deleting your twitter account. Thats a great start! You could get a tutor, ask your teacher for additional help, you could ask your friends to help you, read up on the topics youre doing in class before and after the lesson, ask your griends to study with you, do all youer homework on time, do lots of preparation for your next exam, ask your teacher how you can improve, look online for educational resources.
DO NOT: believe you are a failure and that youre never going to succeed, believe there is no point studying, believe youre dumb, feel depressed. If you do, then you will fail, simple as. Know Its just a setback, you just need to get your mojo back
good luck :-) hope i helped xx

I'm going to deviate from what others are saying and acknowledge that fact that, if this is actually what's happening, a tenth grader taking 14 exams a week is over the top. An exam is supposed to be administered to assess student learning. If you're being "assessed" two times a week in each class, that doesn't leave a lot of time for actual learning.
That being said, this is the reality of your situation and you have to learn for to deal with it. Which subjects are you failing? Which are you passing? What are you doing differently in them? Ask your teachers for extra help. I don't know any decent teachers who are happy about the fact that kids are failing, and if they can't offer you extra time and tutorials they can at least point you in the right direction for getting help and learning the material. Also, talk openly to your parents. No one wants you to fail, and your parents certainly don't want you to be miserable. Is this the first year that you've had difficulties, or have you been struggling in school for a few years? I think that will also have an impact on what course of action you pursue. For example, my cousin was diagnosed with dyslexia in ninth grade after years of struggling in school. This is not, by any means, an attempt to provide you with a diagnosis. Just an example to illustrate that a years-long struggle might have a deeper reason other than needing to study harder.
I think the most important thing, though, is to recognize that you can't fix this on your own. You've tried that and it isn't working. Study with friends, ask teachers for help, and talk to your parents. They can all help you.
