I do not mean this to be mean, it is something that made me feel less stupid and worthless when I was younger. Smart doesn't often succeed all by itself, but hard work usually does. You gotta put in the work if you want the result. Luckily, you can choose your own challenges. Maybe you're not a book learner. Try getting a job shadowing someone with some skills you want and learning on the job. Maybe try online development classes instead of school. Hell, start hacking around with unity3d or something fun if you want to feel like you're not wasting your time while learning.
