I don't know why it is you're failing some of your subjects.  But I am personally comfortable in saying that it doesn't have anything to do with the supernatural. Since your mom believes in this stuff, though, if you want to indulge her by praying & wearing what she tells you to wear, I think that's very kind. But, at least from my perspective, it's not going to get you a passing grade on your exams.
It's been many years since I was in school. But I recall one time sitting in a large lecture hall (sweating over my own exam book) while other students were doing the same. When each student had finished her or his exam, s/he was to set the completed exam on a shelf in the back of the auditorium on their way out. Another student, whom I vaguely recognized, walked in late, took someone else's exam from the stack of completed exams, copied it, & put both the pilfered exam, & his own exam, on the pile of completed exams on the shelf. Then he left.
For some people, studying & taking exams comes easily. For others, like me, it was always a chore. I could get good grades if I applied myself. But I really had to work at it. And then... like the guy I mentioned above... some people cheat.  (I also wouldn't be surprised if some students get "a pass" if the professor(s) particularly like them.) I obviously don't know anything about the school you attend. But I feel safe in saying that there's a very down-to-earth reason why you're failing some of your subjects. You just have to figure out what it is. My best wishes to you...

First off, it's awesome that you work so hard despite stuff like that without losing hope, unlike me. There's no felling that's better than seeing your hard work paying off.
I believe in supernatural stuff, but I don't really have a good impression of it. I believe in the theory of evolution to.Not really a religious person either. Actually, I put on the ring thing six months ago and weirdly enough the results came the next day and I flunked an exam, and that's impossible according to what I wrote in the exam. When I tell my parents that, they don't accept that. I'm sort of in a rage right now. I put those on again about 25 minutes ago. Well, I did pass 3 out of 11 subjects as I just found out now. But still, what about the other ones? I'm supposed to pass some more. And about teachers liking some students more than others, the people who correct the papers aren't necessarily the teachers we know; it's completely random. Apparently, sometimes it goes to other colleges for correction. Apparently.
Thanks a lot for the support
