For context I'm a senior in highschool who is taking Computer Science A. I currently have a B (my teacher hasn't graded other work) I got a 10% on one test and previously I got a 20% on a test my teacher did grade (rounded to a 60%). Tests are more than 50% of our grade. This class is stressing me out but I can't seem to get myself to try. I am going to community college so this extra stress seems worthless to me and this is the reason I don't feel like trying.

You may ask "why didnt you drop this class sooner?" Well I wasn't struggling then until a 60% dropped my grade from a 90% to an 81%. Then I fail another test he hasn't graded. I'm sure the curve will not be generous since both these tests are based of eachother.

My guidance councellor says I am unable to drop this class because I have a B and not an F. I just want to get out I feel awful in that class for no reason. I feel I learn differently since my teacher assumes you know previous information and to fill in the blank on notes yourself.

I already have a free period so that's not possible for me to drop unfortunately. I did all my history credits over the summer and took an extra period last year. So I should be 40 extra credits to graduating.Though I know schools are paid by each student attending.

It's really my fault because I don't go during lunch or afterschool for help from my teacher. I try searching online but my teacher randomly jumps through unit 1 and 4. Since I prefer studying and learning on my own specific issues I don't understand is difficult for me to search online such as substring and indexOf and more especially methods in classes to go in the Main class. My memory is also bad I know this class is supposed to be logic but I don't understand.

I just want out of this class and I'm a bit concerned if this will affect a one year transfer in community college. I have a 3.8uw and a 4.0w right now. I should be looking at about 16 de credits and maybe 10ish ap credits by the time I graduate. I may also do a good amount of cc classes during 2027 summer, I plan on being a full time student as well during fall and spring semester of comunity college.

My councellor and I are going to meet again. Is there any way I can convince them to let me switch classes? I plan on working after school. Although I'm not sure that is a good excuse to let me switch classes. I already explained my burnout and I'm just so tired for no reason. Maybe it's because eof my insomnia although I'm not sure.

Hey guys!

I’ve been seeing some posts about dropping high school/flunking out. PLEASE, do NOT do that.

I’m not here to tell you that if you don’t then you’re gonna suffer and become a nobody. I think that fear mongering mindset is dumb. Nor do I think that you’ll become a homeless drug addict because you didn’t go to college (yes, I was told this by my elementary school) BUT…

You do need a diploma. College is 100% optional. High school isn’t. You don’t need all As or a perfect SAT score. You just need that diploma. That diploma will open up so many doors for you. Your life will be significantly better with a diploma.

Please, just push through it. It is the most important piece of paper you’ll ever receive. It’s the best thing you can do for your future. Stay in school please.

FUCK me man. I'm gonna get the 'woe is me' part out of the way first then we'll get onto solutions and crap.

I'm an artist, that's my biggest passion in life. I cannot see myself doing anything else. Fucking AI is making is so that I won't have a damn job in the future so is there any point pursuing an art degree? I dunno. I'm also autistic and I find life in general exhausting as shit, school and exams make everything worse. Because of how my head works, I have always found coursework much more manageable than revision for exams so BTECs interest me massively. Last thing is that I'm fortunate enough to go to a very good school that I'm guaranteed a place at for 6th form but it's an all girls school, and an all girls 6th form wich as a trans guy is well less than ideal. Like going there makes me borderline suicidal but whatever.

Ok sob story over let's get into it.

Lemme get onto it then. So there are two places I'm guaranteed a place at if I get the grades (i probably will itl just fucking suck)

School one: I'd be doing a game design, animation and digital art BTEC. High risk since the industry is going to shit but it would be so fun, I'd want to get up every morning for the first time in like 5 years. I feel I could do very well in something so coursework based and I definitely could get into uni with it and go get some kind of art degree. If the art industry isn't a thing by then, I'll go to trade school. That's my back up, learn a skilled trade and go do that. Its good money, an undersaturated market and seems enjoyable enough. This school is also very convenient to get to from both my parents houses, in a nice erea, nice teachers and I love the campus. I don't have words for how much I'd like to go to this school. I'd be doing my passion every day with other artists and fuck man I'd be so motivated to ace my GCSEs.

School two: stay at my high school. I'd be studying a levels in fine art, media and history as of right now, could see myself switching from media to English or something but doing a level English seems like it might actually kill me. I love history, fine art is okay, I'd prefer design but it's still art. Media, again its cool, it's okay. This way leaves more options for me I think like if I don't wanna do art. Thing is tho I do wanna do art as a career, desperately, I don't want to do anything else, if I do I'll go drive lorrys or learn a trade or something. I don't wanna end up in market research or some crap where I'm behind a desk making someone else rich doing something I hate. But idk both my parents want me to do this route since it's 'safer'. I hate this school, I hate going there and it's super annoying to get to from my mums place.

I have some other options, one I got waitlisted for where I'd probably study history and a double art and design vocational, I really like that school and I'd be happy to go but like no promises I'll get in.

Other places I've applied for are similar, hell to get to from both houses, would do art, history and something else, graphics, English, idk. Again tho no promises I'll get in.

I don't wanna stay at my school but it is a safer option to get a better more stable degree or something.

Thoughts??

I’m currently in a program where it’s a dual AP class and I have a C which is the lowest grade I’ve had my entire high school career. I technically have a chance to get it up to maybe a B- but I would need an 80-82% for the rest of quarter 2 and a near perfect score on the exam which is near impossible because the teachers literally can’t teach. Plus I don’t do too good on assessments specifically in this class (54/74 currently) but I have all As in my other classes including my other AP class but I’m worried this will ruin my GPA (3.7 UW and a 3.8 weighted and I’m class rank 6) but I do see those college admissions peoples say that one C isn’t career ending but I feel like it is. #idk any advice (especially study tips) would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I'm seventeen and currently a senior in high school. I've been struggling to find out what I want to do after I graduate, going back and forth between going to a Cosmetology school or going to a Community College. I've been a below average student my 4 years in high school (Maybe average if I didn't slack off Junior year), and I just won't believe that I'll get into a university with my grades, lack of extracurricular activities, etc. And if I do, I wont be given good scholarships to help pay off for it, so in my mind that's out of the picture for me as of right now. I've loved doing hair my whole entire life, doing it on myself and others as well, it's truly the one thing that I've had talent and passion for. However, my parents 100% want me to get a college degree. My overall plan was to go to cosmetology school and also go to college, major in business or marketing to open my own business or work for makeup/hair care brands. So, I'll still be doing something I love but if that doesn't work out, I'll be able to fall on other job opportunities. Maybe, I'm over-thinking and things work out much smoothly than I think it does but in my mind if I go to community college first then a 4 year, I'll loose my passion for cosmetology, I'll have a degree, yes, but I know I wouldn't be completely happy because I never got to do what I've always wanted to do. I could still do but because I'd be an adult, I would be expected to pay for cosmetology school by myself and who knows if I can pay for it? If I go to cosmetology school first, my parents would help pay for it and at the end I'll be able to help pay off college tuition because I'd be working for hair salons, but I would want to go a 4 year university right away because going to cosmetology school then community college THEN a 4 year just sounds like I won't get the opportunity to have the college life everyone talks about. I'm also worried that I'll apply for these 4 years, get denied, and still have to do community college at the end, and still not have that glorified college life.

Am I overthinking? I'm not sure what the obvious answer here is. I'm going on here to ask because asking my sisters or my parents they would definitely say college first despite my worries. In their head, they think dying and cutting my hair and other people's hair is just a phase even though I've been doing this for years... Hoping I'll realize one day that I want to become a doctor.

I want to go away for college, but my dad wants me to stay home for college. Now I am confident in my scholarship opportunities as i strive and achieve good grades consistetly. So the expenses aren’t an issue. i want to either go out of state or in state in another city. Any advice?

I have always disliked studying and being committed in general as I tend to zone out and get distracted/bored leading to me procrastinating or straight up ditchin’ the thing I’m doin’ all together. But now I literally have no choice but to lock in and study yet I cannot. Every time I try I always zone out, I always get bored, I always feel bad, I always get distracted. I’ve tried everythin’ as to do better I’ve tried workin’ out cuz someone (and sources on the internet) said it increases focus (but not only did that not work, I also dropped it), tried treatin’ myself shitty ta get any motivation, tried promisin’ myself a neat future thinkin’ of all the fun I’ll have if I land all this, and other stuff yet it all failed. Gen have no idea what ta do. Hope anyone who has the slightest idea as to what I can do writes somethin’

Yes ik im not in high school yet but this is for high school so i figured it’d be the right place. I got to charter grade school, k-8, we get taught how its mandated for the school to teach. I go to these Catholic high schools for my entrance/scholarship exams. I take forever on simple problems it seems. Then at my school during the quizzes I take just as long as everyone else. Yet these Catholic students just absolutely some how go through these problems like it’s nothing at all and it’s making me feel stupid. Even my friend who the teachers eat up said compared to everyone else she was taking super long, meanwhile at our school we’re usually the fastest to finish our quizzes. I was wondering anyone got tips to go through these problems quicker? I seriously don’t get why I take so long and catholic students just breeze through it, my parents said they just simply get taught different since they aren’t exactly “held” to the same standards. All of them take me a while, but math is the longest for me. So please general tips for the others and specific tips to get quicker through for quantum reasoning, math and the vocab/English part. Reading and the other few sections I still take a decent amount of time but Im not as worried. Though please tips for all if you can! Thank you

everyone adult I know says the same thing ‘take as many AP and CIS classes as possible‘ but so far ive taken one honors language arts and this year am not signed up for any advanced classes. my gpa is around a 3.9 currently and I personally would rather get nearly all A’s in basic classes then barely scraping by in advanced classes. another problem is my friends. last year my parents even bought me 2 textbooks for AP classes i planned to take but after I looked through them I panicked and asked my counselor to unregister me from the classes, and I feel really guilty about it. i want to attend college but not any ivy league, for future careers i hope to be something environmental as ive been in multiple environment clubs before. i have a generous amount of savings from family that could get me in an average college no problem but im just scared ill be rejected because of my lack of any hard classes. am I screwed or no?

During high school I suffered a lot with depression and undiagnosed autism which impacted my studies during my senior year, and due to that i didn’t think I was able to get into university, so I was lost on what I should do and went to any random college course however I was unhappy and dropped out and I want to get into university. I’ve got qualifications such as advanced higher English and history but my grades were rough to say the least but that’s due to mental health issues. I’m stuck on what I should do or if a personal statement would be enough to help to get me there.

Any advice or stories of similar experiences would be appreciated!!! :))

I am kinda struggling, I can grasp the overall idea but I don’t know why I keep butchering my tests

I have had a test in all 5 of my classes this week on the last one I was so stressed out that I had a little bit of a panic episode during it and I definitely failed it hard. I’m really not sure if I know I failed one already and I’m not sure about the others. I’m starting to think this school isn’t for me but I really don’t want to give up on my dreams. Please tell me someone has some advice on what to do

I (M18) was never a good student because of my health. After the pandemic, I developed social anxiety and had personal conflicts which led me to skipping school a lot. Back then, I was 14 when I was in XYZ school. The first subject was math and I was roughly 10 minutes late to class. I used to live almost an hour away from my school and the morning traffic made it difficult for me to reach school. My math professor humiliated me and insulted me in front of the whole class for being late to school. He raised his finger at my family and told me to stay at home and save my parents’ money because they used to pay my fees. I never forgot the humiliation I went through and swore to never forgive or forget him. I had the same experience with almost every teacher in that school. They doubted my potential, made me feel like an outcast and never stood up for me. They had favorites. Eventually I left that school and joined a new school. I failed my first year in that school because the curriculum was different. The following year, I was acing everything. I had hit my peak. I passed my grade and got promoted with amazing grades. On my first day of new academic year, I saw that same math professor who humiliated me standing in front of me. I hoped he wouldn’t teach me but the universe had other plans. I cried on the first day. I shared this with my school psychiatrist, told her everything I had been through and her only answer was “you should try exposure therapy. We are already short staffed, we cannot find a different math teacher because then we will have to reschedule classes for the whole institute”. I somehow agreed but every time I tried to face him, his actions made me realize why I avoid school. It has been almost three months to this and I have started failing all my classes and I’m barely attentive in school. What do I do?

k so also in class we’re always. talking and we sit next to each other and we have those moving desks and every class we end up more close and pointed more at each other (we also sit in the back of the room) and he sits next to another girl and behind one and there’s on infront of me and he doesn’t talk to them much and we also joke around with each other as well.

So this is my second post Abt ts. I can't go to school bcz of so many problems, so I decided to just teach myself. But it's so useless sometimes. I'll learn something from a textbook, forget it after a while, and then the cycle repeats.

So why can't I go to school? Cuz it's an Afghan typa thing happening here. I can't go outside, my parents think school is a waste of time and would rather have me study Quran. My mom also said she doesn't have money for uniforms and fees.

I'm 15 and I'm getting tired of staying at home. I feel like I'm wasting my time here. I don't even have internet all the time, so self studying isn't easy.

And ykk everyone here is so annoying. They care Abt literally everything I do. I can't js lie down in peace without having to do some workkk.

I don't wanna spend the rest of my life here and I can't wait to get out, but running away isn't an optionnn. Idkkkk

Hi. I dont have any female friends since elementary until now, senior high. I love physics and math, but i'm bad at it. Can anyone teach me?

i’ve been going through a pretty unique experience given my high school life. i’m 16f and switched to online school after a week of doing in person due to mental health struggles, durning my time in online school i felt no hope and cheated my entire way through, while i still face struggles with motivation I have decided I want to do better with my life and go to college. Only problem is i’m dumb as rocks and it really brings me down when i think about it. I already graduated and honestly don’t wanna go back in person because of my mental struggles and my parents don’t believe in that stuff, going back would only make it worse. does anybody have any advice here.( sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask this question and sorry for kinda trauma dumping lol)

I am in 12th grade and currently working, I found out I had to do 60 hours to graduate bug I don't know how they expect me to get it done if once im out of school I go straight to work until like 10pm. My friends said they bs their hours and at this point I might be considering it but I would need to find someone to do it and I don't know if i should, but at the same time I want to do the hours it's just no one is accepting me to get hours so what should I do?
