Why are you a "bad boy"? Are you, or have you been, proud of it? Have you built a reputation as a "bad boy"? Making a complete change will be difficult for you but think of all the people who will be dead pleased if you achieve your wish to change for the better, your parents and family, your teachers, etc. The ones who you will have to deal with are your friends who know you as a "bad boy" and will expect you to carry on being one. These will be a problem to you which you will find difficult to deal with. They will try to get you to carry on in your own ways, but there is help available. Talk to your parents and explain what you have in mind. Ask them to support you, if necessary by speaking to your school. There should be a teacher at your school with pastoral duties whose job it is to talk to pupils about personal issues. Arrange an interview with him/her and explain your feelings. Doing this will a). help you to commit to your change in attitude because others will be observing and b). give you a "bank" of support for you if things get tricky.
Get your head down, work hard at school, do your homework and do what you can to be helpful at home. I wish you the best of luck in your efforts.
