I Want to Switch Schools! Last year, I started freshman year of high school at a school which I had high doubts about, due to what I heard about it. My dad wanted to send me there just because he hates the public school in our area, and it's right across the street ("I might invite people over", he said). I was VERY depressed last summer (I even cut myself and cried a lot) due to other issues. And finding out I was going to this stupid school made it even worse. I didn't speak up though.
So I started the high school, and throughout the year all I could think about is going to the public school. Everyone at this new school is "fake' (they all pretend they're friends with everyone, but really they talk behind they're back) and most of the girls act like sl*ts and most of the boys there just want sex (and remember it's a small school so it's a majority of them)... not only that but the education system is horrible. Most of the things I learned are repeated stuff, and they try to make it "easy" for us just so we can move on. They don't have the classes I really want to take. Plus, the tuition costs alot, since they need money.
I really really REALLY want to go to the public school. I swear I would do my best there. I still haven't spoken up about it though. My dad thinks I love this school, since I DID join clubs and sports (cheerleading & softball) (to try to "change my mind"). I'm going back next year, and now I'm depressed again. I 've been crying all summer. I also stopped hanging with friends, sleep a lot, and started to eat more. I just feel like I'm missing out, and know what's best with me. My dad is making me study over the summer, and I start to think about the schools and get sad all over again. How to overcome this?
Oh and by the way, the public school has 20xs more people, better education (the classes I want to take), higher creds for college, and so much more. | Approved |

I HATE school! I have written before asking for help. I thought it was over, but that was stupid - depression never goes away.
To start off, I really really REALLY hate my school. This is my second year. My schedule is horrible. My grades are dropping badly because of all the stress I have to put up with. I'm also currently depressed ever since I found out I was going here, and I've been crying a lot. I always think of ways to stay home. I'm not the only one who hates the school though - over 20 people left from last year and people are already planning to get expelled this year (lol). It's a private catholic school, who spends all their money on sports. There's another school that I want to switch to that offers much more oppurtunities, and it's RIGHT across the street.
My dad is the only one who's keeping me in this school. He has some "anger" issues. I DID talk to him about it, and tried to be mature, did my research and printed papers and everything, but instead we talk a little, he ignores the papers, gets mad, and tells me no. I got so fed up with going to this school, that last week I cried my eyes out.. and I told my dad I'm depressed and instead of helping me out, we get into a huge argument, with him at the end saying "F you, get the F out of my house!"
I really can't take it anymore. I had to visit the nurse yesterday, because I felt like I was going to faint in class. She says it's from stress. I still don't feel better from how I did. And I slept all day long yesterday. I'm already trying to make the best out of this school, by staying with friends and all, but it's not helping... WHAT TO DO?! | Approved |

School Is Not Working School is not working for me. I am a sophomore. today I stayed home for the 5th time since school started. I seem to be wearing myself out.
Between school, band, family, friends, and teachers, my life is a wreck. I am just not sure what to do. There are problems with this one girl at school and so I went to the guidance counselor and she didn't help one bit, she blambed me for everything that was going on right in front of the other girl. I am so tired all of the time and NEVER want to go to school. I used to look forward to it. But band is so pressuring. I can't do anything right. I am in the schools marching band and I love it, most times. Between tuesday 6-9 pm rehersals and thursday 6-8pm rehersals and all the school work and IMEA and everything else. I mean this october we do not have one saturday off except for holloween. That leaves little time for anything else. With all the days I am missing the school work piles up and the more the school work piles up the more days i want to miss to catch up. I wish at this point the teachers would just stop teaching us stuff.
Money is tight in our house so the teachers are getting angry at me when i can't go out and get something the night that they ask the class to get it. Like my spanish teacher said go get a journal and i just worte stuff down on a piece of paper and she got all mad and started nagging me all the time, so i burst i yelled at her in fromt of the class but she stopped telling me crap. Its just not like me to do that sort of thing. I just want it to be easy. Don't get me wrong i don't want to kill myself or anything i just want to be able to go to school with out stress. | Approved |

School Counselor
I know I'm probably just being paranoid, but I have a feeling my guidance counselor doesn't like me anymore. She never wants to call me in, and when I do talk to her she tells me to get help outside of school. I don't know why she's telling me to get help outside of school because I think I'm a lot better than last year, and last year she never told me to get outside of school help. Why do you think she's telling me this now? | Approved |

Unsure About College I considered going to college but I have no way of getting there. One I could walk to but I don't qualify for financial aid and they do not offer the course I want. I could take a course via mail but my parents won't pay for it and they don't have financial aid. So going to college is out the window. My ex-girlfriend received financial assistance BUT she intends to drop out because she's too stupid. I have bitter feelings towards her, can you tell?

Volleyball Practice Accident
I broke one of my friends hand in vollyball practice. I did not mean to. I cried the whole practcie I felt so bad and she told me not worry about and that she was not mad and she knew that I didn't mean to.
I told my coach that if she couldn't play for the rest of the season then I don't need to play because it's my fault that she can't play and it's not fair to her. My coach said okay. Do u think I did the right thing? | Approved |

Worried About Going to College
I have a lot of stress going on in my life right now! I'm letting it get the best of me. I'm bringing my friends down along with me. I'm worried about college eventhough I don't graduate until 2011! I'm afraid I won't get into the college I want to go to, and I'll end up failing at life while my friends succeed in everything they want to do!
Not just stress with my school life, but with my home life as well.I'm supposed to be the smart child in my family because I've always done better than my siblings, and it puts too much pressure on me. I try so hard to please my father. I haven't gotten student of the month since 6th grade and he always expects me to get it again sometime. plust I'll be the only person in my family to ever go to college. Not even my father went to college and his parents never went to college. I want to break that cycle, and I hope if I get into college then my younger brother will follow me and go off to college also. | Approved |

Away at School
I woke up, and I quickly ran to my family, and cried, because thinking that in a couple of hours, I would have to say goodbye to my family. The hours came, and I said goodbye, and cried, and everything. I felt empty, while in the car, going back to a different place for school.
Later that day............
I arrived, and quickly went to the guest room, and cried, thinking only a couple of hours ago, I was right next to my family, and now I'm alone. I have no one here. I'm sad. I want to cry.
When I see my family again? Thanksgiving Break, (85 days from now). Right now, I'm thinking it's too long from today, and being sad, and cry. I cry every second. I cry everyday.
It's my fourth day here, and I still am crying and still sad.
School didn't even start. (September, 8, 2009). August finished quick, because 3/4 of it was in my Home. Now? It's taking too slow. What can I do to pass my time?
I do talk with my family on the phone, and everything. But I want to see my family face to face, and know everything that goes on in our home.
Please, somebody help me! | Approved |

My Struggle With Friends And School
Recently, i feel like i have no friends at all. They don't want to hang out with me or have anything to do with me. I feel like I have noone. My relationship with my mother is bad too, so i cant tell her anything cause she wont understand. I used to have a best friend who went to a different school 2 yrs ago but we still live in the same town, but we dont see each other or talk and i feel like shes growing up and has alot more friends then me and its like a competion. But after she left i made a new best friend but one day we got in a fight for no reason and now were not very good friends at all. I feel like shes taking all my other friends away from me and I can't make any new ones because I'm in a private school so the class is extremly small. All the boys like her too. And next year im switching to a public school and so is this girl and i feel like im never going to get away from her. It feels like shes taking away all my friends. Noone wants to hang out after school or the weekends, they make up stupid excuses. So i sit alone at home all the time now. And at school i cant really be happy anymore. My mom asks me if i want to do something and i just say no. I feel extremly depressed and that theres no point to life if i have no friends. i dont know what to do exccept wait for next year and a newer class with more people, but im scared nothing will change. Then theres still the summer and i really dont want to spend it alone. please tell me what i should do to have friends, it's like im an alien or something when im around them. thanks | Approved |

Motivation For School Work i have no more drive to go to school....
i procrastinate like nobody's business and
i am wayyyy behind in all my work.
i recently failed a couple of my exams, its impossible to ask for a retake as this is quite 'major'
the really major exams are coming in about 4-5 months from now and i am really beginning to panick.
i will first have another round of preliminary examinations before the actual MAJOR papers.
the papers concern my future..... whether or not i'd have to retain? or get in to a colledge....
i'm still in the midst of getting back somemore results from the exam papers that just finished. i don't know how to tell my parents omy horrendous results....they'd probably ground me for life, cane me, scream at me, scold me and force me to study every single waking moment of the day.
i don't want my life to be hard with my parents nagging at me all the time so how can i get them to trust that i will work hard on my own and they don't have to worry or nag too much? how can i get them to believe that i've truly woken up and that i will surely work my butt off now?
please help me! | Approved |

Procrastination Hi, I have a problem. Well, it's not super bad, but it doesn't work for me. I'm a real big procrastinator, but I'm one of those procrastinators that actually do want to get things done right away but I never feel motivated. I've tried giving myself a reward for doing something by a deadline I set up, but it never works out. If you could help me think of ways to overcome the procrastinating, I would be so thankful. | Approved |

How Can I Be More Social? I'm the shy one at my school. I always have been. I feel like i always will be. It's hard for me to ask questions in class, talk to people who I'm not good friends with, and be myself around people form my school. My mom tells me I need to start speaking up, I say okay and go to school. Nothing happens. How can I get to be more social? I try but it just won't exactly "click". I'm always stressed about it. What can I do to change this? | Approved |

Making Friends I feel really alone lately. School is starting soon and I don't think it will go well. Last year I acted different just so people would like me. Now I tried to act like myself and I can't find any friends at all. I liked my old friends... But now it seems like they don't like me. All I do is sit on the computer trying to hangout with someone. No one does though. How can I make friends and not feel so alone. | Approved |
