Its pretty easy to get out of Bronze, just make sure that whatever you do, you keep producing worker units. Also make sure your on top of army production.
Sheer macro alone should get you out of bronze and silver easily. You only need to worry about microing units when you hit the later stages of Gold or maybe even platinum.
Watching Day9 is a great idea, just don't fall into the trap of watching him all the time, along with various shoutcasts and not actually playing the game!
The only way you'll gonna get better is by playing! Pro Tip
Keep working at it! Beating plat is a good start.
Just remember; SCOUTING is key to any victory, keybinds for your production structures and rally points as well. When you're in an enemy base and things are going well, set your rally points to their base, quicker reinforcements are the best thing you can have. Make sure when you win and lose to always look at your replays to find out what you can do better. Spend your minerals, the key to this is to keep your minerals under 1000 unless your going for a tech switch(only if your zerg) then you can stock pile. Upgrading your units is the best thing you can do, especially T1 units(Zealots, Marines, and zerglings). They benefit most from upgrades. Don't get flustered, when things are not going well don't overreact to the situation. If you're playing as zerg, always be one base a head of your opponent, especially Terran.
I suggest the original poster watches this paticular Day9 daily:

Regardless of what you think of Day[9] aka Sean as a caster, a player or a general human being his dedication to all things starcraft is undeniable.
Well worth a watch.
It's been said numerous times in this thread, but I'm going to say it again.
Go to day[9]. Go now:

Everyone is incredibly bad at RTS games at first, specifically Starcraft 2. It's just not a very noob friendly game (but very enjoyable after you get better). The most important thing for beginners is getting the fundamentals down, i.e. constant worker production, not getting supply blocked, and a bunch of other stuff that Day9 has said before. Also, if you want to improve at the game, watch Day9's dailies. If you want to learn a lot of general information about the game and be entertained, watch HD and Psy's casts (don't just mimic the strategies the pro's use though). If you want to listen to a squealing retard cast SC2 games, watch Husky's casts
I'm a high diamond terran, if you show me one of your replays I can give you some critique.
In regards to cheese, scout for it every game in bronze and just don't do it yourself. Focus on macro (macromanagement, aka building up a strong economy and using your minerals/gas to build up a strong army).
If you play a game and don't understand how/why you lost, or if you just played a game that involved something you didn't understand, watch the replay; it really does help a lot in the long run. Analyze your mistakes so you don't make them next time.
One last thing, if you just play a lot you will inevitably get better. Don't play if you don't want to though.
That's all the advice I can think of, good luck!
