How to reach those kids that just say I can't?

Is there really a true answer to this question and I believe that answer to be a no.  I think though that each teacher has in them the capabilities to reach these troubled students.  I have found ways through my readings of the text and my experiences to reach these types of students in my classroom.  I have developed relationships with these students where they trust me and I have familiarized myself with their likes and dislikes.  When they seem disgusted and frustrated I make a point to try to provide real life examples to them that are connected to things that they like and are interested in.  I think that through this development of a relationship I have put myself in a position where I have become an effective teacher to all types of learners.
