I'm starting to get fed up of chess.

Based on your game in kindaspongey's Post #17, I'd say tactics are what you need to concentrate on the most, but not just general tactics. I think you need to work on the two most basic tactics first - hanging pieces (that is, piece safety) and counting (as defined by Dan Heisman).

In Post #6 in this thread https://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/i-can-t-beat-level-2-can-someone-help , I gave some links that might help you. I hope all of the links are still active (I haven't checked them since the original post).

 

Well, OK, I'll paste the most important links here:
