Find out why.
No one is born knowing math.
It takes practice, like a musical instrument.
A good teacher can make a world of difference but there are thousands of resources available these days.
There are countless example problems, websites (like this one), Khan Academy videos (YouTube) on a variety of math topics that extend beyond what any teacher can probably show you.
But it's up to you to use them.
If you're confused at school, ask questions.
There are no dumb questions, don't be afraid to ask.
Good luck!

You can put this solution on YOUR website! If you hate math, first find out WHY.
What should you do?=> The best thing is get involved. You should come here, post your problems and some of us will help you with what you don't understand. Ones you understand a problem, will be easy to solve it and all frustration will be gone. As a teacher, I believe that student who, for some reason, is afraid to make mistake, do not WANT even try to get involved tend to say "I hate math". You need to know that ANYONE who is trying to solve math problem is making mistakes, except someone who doesn't even try.
People  in how they  math problems in a way that naturally takes different people different amounts of time. Being fast isn't important, but kids often get an early impression that if you are not fast, you are not good at it which is wrong.
I strongly believe, you will be GOOD if you just make your self to believe in it and if you start doing problems a way that makes you UNDERSTAND them. Each math problem has two possible answers: right and wrong. If you deeply understand a problem, would be easy to get an right answer to it.
So, don't be frustrated and do not forget that mathematics is more deeply embedded in our lives and thoughts than we might care to admit.
"The advantage of growing up with siblings is that you become very good at fractions."
Robert Brault
"Math may not teach me how to add love or subtract hate, but it gives me every reason to hope that every problem has a solution."
