they would call me sarah, but it seems that people are afraid to address me by my name. i am a senior. i dislike a lot of things. i enjoy a nice hot medium mocha latte and smoke too many cigarettes for my own good. i have been in love. i love lights and colors. i am above the influence.advice
I am a homeschooled girl, I'm turning 15 in about two months. I am doing this program for middle schoolers, where I go and pick up tons of work each month. Apparently, theres so much, that its hard cramming it all in a month, but I manage to get it done the very beggining of the next month, meaning I turn it in late. This happens, because either I didn't have parents take me because they were gone, or I wasn't done. Most of the time it was just not going on time. I expected a lot from myself when I was in public school, my grades were always in a high range. But now, I am failing three classes. Ever since I saw my grades, I have been feeling guilty for eating, sleeping, or doing anything I want because I shouldn't deserve to do what I want. I am so full of stress, I think that maybe another reason. I see a therapist that takes both of my parents sides, and my parents are divorced, but they still fight. But, I'm not going to drown myself in excuses because I've managed to do well in the past. There are lots of other stressful things going on, but I am just really scared that I'm going to get held back. I havn't finished the month of May, I tried to last night, but those thoughts of being a failure took over and kept me from concentrating. I have no idea what to do with the present work, but I do have goals for high school, I might be staying home again. Could anyone share some advice that could help me get my stress out and my future thoughts in?
I'll definetly rate because of the length of this question. It will be more than just thank you.
Being homeschooled myself I know where you're coming from! Last year I was in a charter school and 2 months late in finishing. I also had a horrible case of stress during that time.
First I suggest that you set aside an hour or so today to just relax, collect you thoughts and pray. DO NOT think about anything that has to do with school during this time! After your time is up. Just start hacking away at the workload you have with the consolation that this too shall pass!
One thing that can hurt your grades is that usually with homeschooling you tend to be a little more disorganized, or in my case, a lot. Now, just do your best to do your best!
If there's anything I missed just ask my column and I'll try to help!
Keep your head up!
(Rating: 5) Thanks, on this site, I thought I was only 2 in a million homeschooled altogether. I have gotten disorganized, but my new plan will be strict, lets just hope I keep up with the new strict me! I'll try relexing and jumping right at my work! Again, thanks!
