People in my dormitory don't read much. I read a lot, but my grades are not very good. Tell jokes, can you help me change this mentality?

You need to know why this is happening first. According to my understanding, the reason why you didn't do well in the exam is not that you don't work hard now, but that you didn't pay as much as others before. Learning depends not on your present, but on your accumulation all the time. Others have accumulated a lot before, of course, your grades are better than yours now, which is natural. I think even if your grades are not directly proportional to your efforts, it is certain that the more you learn and know, the more you will make progress. As for the size of this progress, it depends on whether your efforts can make your grades qualitatively change.

You are not as good as them now, but it's nothing, it's the result of your own making. If you had worked harder before, you wouldn't be like this now.

On the other hand, you are working hard now. Although your grades are not as good as others now, you will certainly catch up with them in the near future as long as you persist. To achieve this goal, you must make yourself pay more than before and now.

In addition, you should also realize that learning is not for others to see, nor for appearances. Maybe you spent three hours studying, others only spent an hour, but others spent an hour studying hard. You also sat in the classroom, but you were in a daze, touching here and there, so you really spent your study time studying, but you were not as good as others. This is the problem of efficiency. How much you learn is not how much time you spend reading, but how much time you really learn.

Finally, there is no denying that people are smart or not smart enough. You are worse than others, not necessarily because you learn less than others, but because your methods and comprehension ability are not as good as others. In this case, you should make more efforts to make up for this deficiency. Don't feel that you are paying more than others now. As long as your grades are not as good as others, it means that you have not paid enough. You must work harder.

Don't be afraid of others laughing. It is inevitable that others will say occasionally. If you don't want to tell others, you must work harder and try your best to improve your grades. Only others can see your work and achievements, others won't say anything about you. And yourself, don't care too much, take it lightly, believe in yourself, as long as you work hard, you will certainly catch up with others and make them laugh. The more slack others are, the harder you work, so that the day when they can't laugh is closer.
