As support, it's your responsibility to mold yourself to the AD carry's needs. As blunt and stupid as it sounds, it is the mechanics of support. While it does bear upon some aspects of the actual support champion, the outcome of the laning phase can only be as good as the AD carry is. If he sucks, you will suck. If he is good, you will do good.

Bear in mind, Janna is an aggressive support. The three main supports, [Janna, Sona, and Soraka] pretty much bear upon the spectrum of offensive, middle-ground, and defensive support respectively. Thus, Janna does best will other aggressive AD carries. That being like Caitlyn, Vayne, or Miss Fortune. Janna does not utilize her offensive potential with AD carries like Kog, Trist, or Ashe who are more item dependent, and need to farm excessively to reach their potential. While it's certainly do-able with clashing Supports and carries, the AD carry isn't as flexible as support is, thus it behooves you to be the flexible one, and adapt to the AD carry's playstyle.

So to answer your question, it is both issues. However, you can only cure one aspect of the two, so just keep trying at it. The best way to learn is by doing. Good luck.
