Seek help from your peers or teachers if you need clarification of certain doubts, or help on homework.

They will be able to give you advice and help you to do your homework.

Instead, see it as a motivation to give your best when doing work.

In this way, you are able to overcome your negative emotions, and also produce better quality work.
