I have been in multiple classes that I needed to learn what grounding is, and I have watched lots of videos, but the thing Is I never really understood it. Pls help me I’m begging you.

depends on the context, but suffice to say ground is just a common reference voltage that a circuit uses to establish other voltages, when we say 5v or 12v, it would mean nothing if they don’t share a reference voltage. it’s like if you ask me how fast am i going i tell you i’m going 30 mph faster than the car behind me but you would have no idea how fast i’m going cuz you don’t know how fast the car behind me was going, in this analogy you can equate “ground” to the 0mph mark on the speedometer, it’s the speed that all other speed is compared to.
in electrical context like house wiring ground also means the literal ground, as all houses should have a grounding conductor (usually bare copper) that’s literally connected to a rod in the ground
