Your websites probably poorly designed or whatever your selling is rubbish; people go to your website, don’t find anything that appeals to them so they exit quickly. My website has a bounce rate of 35-45%. An average bounce rate will be between 45%-55%.

Are you using 1PD’s reports?

Google analytics will only give you a summary of your overall bounce rate.
If you are using 1PD’s search engine optimisation reports you will be able to get a break down of the specific keyword terms which are causing the high bounce.

You will be able to check the bounce rates on different pages for specific search terms, this should help give you some idea of why people are bouncing. What exactly are you selling? You may consider a more user friendly web design, or re-evaluate your pricing.
