I really have been struggling with school.Â
I sleep every night around 11 or 12, so that's about 7 or 6 and a half hours every night. It's a good amount of sleep for me, it doesn't mess me up at school at all, though some days I'm just really exhausted from sleeping wrong. (Just wanted to include this in case it's important in any way,)
But my problem is in three classes. All my classes I have A's and rarely a B. Good grades! But I always struggle in english and math so that's usually a C. But a C isn't bad.
My first class is my third hour, English. I usually do pretty okay in that class, but we are doing a project to interview someone on their culture. For the past couple weeks my health dropped a bit and I got sick, so I've been extremely tired at school(I'm not sick anymore,). But I've been just lacking in her class and chatting with my friends. This project is worth a lot of points and could RUIN my grade for the rest of this quarter. My parents have no idea. I have a 49% in her class, that's an F. I need at least a 70 to have a C. I really need to work on this assignment but I just..can't. it's been hard for me to even do simple assignments.
Second class is Theatre(6th hour). Theatre is like an interest and hobby to me, like art! I get burnt out with art so randomly and suddenly to the point I can't even open ibis paint x or my sketchbook without getting a bad sense of dread. I really struggle with the assignments in my theatre class, and in her class I just get the worst headaches and feel so insanely tired in her class and I'm unsure why. And my theatre teacher has this..she gives me a weird feeling. She makes me have a sense of,, aggression. It's not toward her, but I feel like when she talks to me about not doing my assignments or needing help on something,she says it in a way that feels like she's outing my grades and struggle with the assignment to the whole class, and then there's also a weird tone that feels like she's...talking down on me.Â
My last class, 7th hour, is my math. My teacher really just.. constantly has such a loud class it gives me bad headaches and I really can't focus on any work. Recently, I've been struggling with the assignments in class. It's a new unit, and I just don't understand it. The way he explains it is a way I don't understand, and my friends don't know how to explain it(which is fine). But his class is just so insanely headache inducing, AND no matter where I sit, there is a kid vaping near me. The girls on one side of the class vape, and the boys on the other side vape. It really gives me headaches and makes me feel sick.
One thing that also really bugs me often, I think of it a lot, is if I have a bad grade, my mom tells me "You're a gifted kid! You should have better grades!" I am gifted in socially talking and being creative. (like in arts and crafts, that stuff.)
More for English: I really hate online assignments which is what we mainly do, and when we do a project or assignment that's on paper, its always just a writing paper. I GET it's English, we write! But we've done assignments before that include drawing of some sort, and we did three or four assignments/projects this year that included that. I really, really know it could include more stuff than JUST writing some long ass paper for a book. Like, draw out an important scene from a book and write why you chose that scene, how it relates to the story, and how it was important to the plot or something.Â
that is a lot of words,if anybody actually responds to this, please just help me on ways to focus and get my grades up. I really struggle with my health every now and then(i do think it's slowly going up), and my sudden health spikes and declines are not known to my parents, and I'm terrified to tell them about my mental health. It makes me extremely sick to my stomach to even think about. And school counselor isn't good, they'll tell my parents, and friends will also just..tell my parents or constantly be hovering over me to be sure im okay and that makes me extremely aggressive and easily angered.Â
but again, if anyone actually does read this and give a response, THANK YOU. Even if it doesn't end up working for me, thank you so so much.Â

omgg FUCCKK traditional schools, and i feel you on that exhaustion part. the only thing i can say that could help is switching schools (which is gonna be difficult), or just tanking school. Its defiantly not the best idea, but thats what i did, i was just going through and just doing it and not stressing otherwise id get overall unhappy real quick.
idk we needa rework schools damn ;-;
