In high school at least when I was in it people seemed to make it a contest to prove who did less work. If you want to succeed give it your all regardless of what others say. Make clear goals, and go after them. Ultimately it comes down to your attitude towards the whole thing.

Some practical advice:

-What I would say the best advice is ask for help from students, or teachers.

-If you don't understand something in class, ask for help. If you can't get it answered in class set up tutoring if the school provides it.

-Cut out a bit of time to do school work, but also study material that was gone over in class.

It may not be easy, but if you want it you have to put in work.

I wouldn't say it's a contest to do less work, everyone loves the kids that do work because everybody cheats. Sometimes it feels like the only reason people get good grades is because they take the time to pull out their phones during a test haha. I cheated on the final exams. It's obviously something I gotta not do.

Honestly don't forget to learn. Don't be afraid to take an interest in the stuff you are studying. Some of it might be boring as shit, but some of it might just be really interesting to you. Stuff you find interesting is INFINITELY easier to study.
