Something is wrong: your driving technique.
To drive a manual transmission is easy.
To drive a manual transmission well is hard, until you understand how a transmission changes engine speed (RPM/crankshaft rotation speed) into wheel speed (input shaft > gear > driveshaft > axle > wheel speed).
Let's say your RPM in first gear is 2500 when you are at 10MPH. You will need to make sure your engine RPM is at 2500 when you attempt to downshift into first gear at 10MPH, otherwise you will just grind gears and do stupid things.
In this case, find a competent manual driver or watch more YouTube videos to fix your problem. No amount of internet advice via text will help.
