Why is it hard to do math?

I'm in 7th grade and my first semester I had an A in math but now I have an F and I'm always under stress and I'm getting panic attacks because of it. I'm even writing this in math right now and I'm freaking out. Is there any way to make it more fun?

In which ways will mathematics, specifically pure mathematics, be affected by technological advancements (e.g. machine learning, quantum and high-performance computing)?

How will a future mathematician's career be modified by use of AI for high-powered computation? How with the philosophical approach of pure mathematics change with greater implementation of machine learning?

My school offers 3 difficult math courses: AP Calc AB, AP Calc BC, and AP Stats. I want to be an engineer, but instead of taking the harder math route (ends in calc bc), I chose to take the easier math route (Calc ab+stats) is this bad, or will colleges consider the fact that I still have 2 hard math courses (some kids in my school took all 3 courses) ?

If I want to be an aerospace engineer or a physicist is it worth it to get two bachelor's degrees (one in physics and one in engineering) Or would it be better to get one bachelor's degree and one graduate degree??

I am a sophomore in college at a liberal arts school that has the option of a 3+2 dual degree engineering program.
