I've been having this problem...and it's the fact that I strive to be a perfectionist...I don't WANT to be...But I feel like I have to be. I get straight A's, kiss up to teachers, ALWAYS do my work and turn things in. I never skip any assignments...but I've been wondering lately...is it bad to overwork yourself? I mean...I've already done so much. And I haven't been getting enough sleep either :(...I don't know what I'm doing wrong...I can't quit getting good grades...but I'm sick of my head being so messed up. I feel as if school is taking a part of me away...I have ABSOLUTELY NO time on my hands to do ANYTHING...I haven't been to the mall in AGES! ;_; :(...What should I do?

There's nothing bad about getting good grades and looking out for your future. But at times you need sometimes to yourself and relax. I think you should make a schedule for your studies and make sometimes in that schedule for relaxation time. Time to spend with your friends, time to spend on yourself, time to do things you love, etc. I mean there's nothing bad to be a perfectionist, getting straight A's. Parents would love that. It shows you're mature and responsible. But overworking is not that good. You're still a teenager. You need to have a social life. You need to hang out with friends and catch up with non essential things like boys, gossips, etc. Eventhough you might not care but at times it good to get updated with the latest stuff in school.
I myself, went through your same situation. I was in a point where my grades are so important to me. I only focus on my school work that I didn't have any fun. No mall, hang outs, parties. I didn't get enough sleep. But I found a solution. You work hard, but you also play hard!. So I spent my weekend.. a few hours. .. catching up with friends. On weekdays .. I study. focus on school. my day off, I hang out with friends but afterward, I go home and spend 2 hours at least on school work. Plus you don't have to study every subject everyday. put an hour on one subject a day. =].
Well make a schedule for yourself. =]. hope I helped. good luck. let me know how things work out.
here's my sn: shiet itz vy .. incase you need anything. I'm on 24/7. =].
