a level politics help

4

heyyy
so I'm doing Edexcel politics and I've just started year 13, it's been my weakest subject the whole of 6th form but whenever I ask my 3 teachers for help, they just completely dismiss me and basically refuse to help me, which is really affecting my confidence as I'm already struggling and now I've got the teachers not making it any easier which is their job.
I really wanna do well in the subject to prove them wrong and also just do it for me too but whatever I revise it just doesn't help me for the long essays, for example I rarely know a second example to put in my paragraphs which automatically brings my mark down but I just can never remember anything in the exam
I need help any tips would be greatly appreciated!!
thanks for readinggggg

Are there any other teachers at your school who teach politics? If so could you go and speak to them and ask for help. If they ask, explain that you arent getting the support you need from the other teachers.
Or how about speaking to the head of of 6th form, to see if he/she can speak to your teachers about helping you.
