First, you are not alone.
Some people find the idea of objects easy to grasp but the majority
of programmers struggle because it is a different way of thinking
about programs and problems. Once you "get it" you will wonder
what all the fuss was about :-)
Second, while classes are very useful for some things you don't
*need* to use classes to program even quite complex programs.
So don't panic.

It might help if we know what you have read so far and if you can give
some specific things that you find hard to grasp. That gives us a
direction to head down.
Obligatory plug, you can try the OOP topic in my tutor if you
haven't already...
