reading helps for sure, but I'm not even a reader.
my "secret" was just to "imitate" someone else's writing until I could fully internalize it think of it naturally. like for example, just read a few pages by someone who you think is a good reader. don't read for pleasure or for the information, just study how they write. how they start their sentences, end their paragraphs, use punctuation, connect shit, etc. once you get the structure down just pick and plop words and you're good to go. of course structure is only half of it, you need to analyse and think up the proper content. also last tip, most teachers will prefer flowery writing. in reality it sounds retarded but it shows you can write.
by the way, im not some pompous douche, im just playing around haha. like said earlier, highschool is a joke. but people always find it hilarious/unbelievable when they ask and I tell them I got 100%
