-- Posted by frumpy at 2:07 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 I'm not even kidding. School is officially trying to kill me. I'm a sophomore, and this is my first year with honors and AP courses, it's health, TV pro, German, 3 honors, and an AP, no study hall. It's week two and I'm starting to lose my mind. It's too much work. I can't drop any of my classes though. Everyone has been telling me since elementary school, (Based off a fucking piece of paper a machine wrote) that I'm gifted, possibly the most in my school. It doesn't matter how fucking smart I am, this is insane. I'm also in two fucking extra curriculars. And ALL my teachers lay into me. Back to the point though, it's adding up. I mean, it hasn't already been a month and I feel overwhelmed. In TV production(after the majority of my AP and honors) I spent the entire hour today just trying to calm myself the fuck down. Literally, I was in the corner with my head in my hands taking deep breaths. I can see how people fucking kill themselves over this. I'm sorry, I know I've made like two topics like this before, but it's REALLY stacking up, literally if I didn't vent on LiveWire I don't know what I'd do, do you know what happened today? They've triggered this little part in the back of my mind I haven't used since I was like in 6th grade. Until TV pro my body was like fucking racing itself. I couldn't stop fidgeting at all, I was doing great class wise, My hand was always shooting up and my mind was working faster then I've ever seen it before. But it wasn't even me at that point. Literally, I couldn't stop if I'd wanted to, and I take Ritalin, which is supposed to focus me. -- Posted by Hi Carie at 2:08 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 why cant you drop anything? you sound like you are on the verge of a breakdown and you need to do something, immedately. Go speak to your schoolcounselor on monday, that is insane. -- Posted by dnyuki at 2:11 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 Dont listen to others. I think school is important but if you TOTALLY HAVE NO HAPPINESS there, then its useless no matter how smart you are. If its too difficult for you then just drop any of your class, dont bother listening to others because nobody knows you like you do. -- Posted by brunette 17 at 2:11 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 uh, its not supposed to feel like that. you need to tell someone. bull shit that you cant drop classes. YOU CAN make SOME changes. sophmore fucking year should NOT be this stessful for anyone. -- Posted by DADDYS LITTLE GIRL at 6:25 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 School can definately be overwhelming sometimes you just have to find a way to balance it all. Although school is important and should be taken seriously its shouldn't be something that has you stressed out constantly, even if you are taking advanced classes you have limits where it just becomes to much. Slow down see if you can get your schedule switched around some so you have some time to relax and refocus -- Posted by the real anti christ at 9:59 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 Study hall is for pussys.
