Yes, many students are.

You do not necessarily have to be good at writing to be good at something else. Eventually, however, you will very likely be expected to explain something you've done to someone who doesn't understand the field, and being bad at writing will make such explanations a challenge. The best way to improve your writing skills is to A) take more writing courses than are required for graduation, and B) write as much as possible - essays, papers, articles, etc. Never resign yourself to being a bad writer. If you think or know you are, do what is necessary to remedy the situation.

Why is it that some people who are good at math have bad writing skills?

Given these two characteristics, there are four possibilities: Some people are good at math and have bad writing skills. Some people are good at math and have good writing skills. Some people are bad at math and have good writing skills. Some people are bad at math and have bad writing skills. Leaving aside what it means to be "good" or "bad" at these disciplines, it is likely that these groups of people have varying amounts of genetic predisposition for success at these aptitudes and their environments provided varying amounts of support or resistance to help them fulfill their levels of achievement. If you're suggesting a causal relationship, that to be "good" at one necessarily implies being "bad" at another, I don't think such generalizations are useful.

Why is it that some people are good at math but bad at essay writing?

Math is: you get problems, you solve them. English is: you get a topic, and you write anything you want, as long as it pertains to the topic. They are obviously not the same thing, so you will have people who are bad at English, who just happen to be good at Math.


Is it normal for people who are good at math to be naturally be bad at writing forever?

It is normal for people to have strengths and weaknesses. A lot of people that seems to be good at math sucks at english and vice versa, though this is not forever. Through practice, learning more vocabulary and trying to start a journal would surely help in your writing skills. You may be born weak at something but that doesn't mean your going to stay like that forever unless you let it.
