Q: 15/female. My life is great. I have everything I could ever need, and a small group of friends that I could tell ANYTHING to. My parents love me, and 99% of my family is beyond incredible, but sometimes I get too overwhelmed. I'm an only child, and my parents expect a LOT out of me. If I don't have straight high-A averages, I get privleges taken away because "I can do better" and I KNOW that they're right. I always LOVED school, and don't get me wrong, I still do, usually. But now that I'm in highschool there's more drama to deal with, and teachers are more eccentric, for lack of a better word. Sometimes it's too much to deal with. My mother attempting suicide last year was essentially my breaking point. She's got that worked out (nasty hospital screw-up and severe allergic reaction led to a decrease in serotonin; she's fine now) but nowadays I think constantly that something even worse will happen not just to her, but to many people I care about.
Sorry that was so long, but as you can see I really need to work some things out. Would it be weird to go to a therapist just ONCE, to have someone else to talk to, or would I be forced to go nine thousand times?

i know exactly how you feel. i used to love school, i was so used to getting straight A's ALL the time. and then i started high school, and the work was a little harder and the pressure was full on. my parents were always on my back about studying and getting good grades because high school grades are important for colleges because they look at that. as for you constantly worrying about your family, you need to try to stop doing that. if you honestly think you cant stop then you should consider a therapist and even if they do make you go to nine thousand, it will be worth it. you can't keep thinking about all the bad things that will happen. just take life day to day. whatever happens, happens for a reason. last year my dad took a heartattack and for a couple of months i was terrified that it might happen to someone else. and then i realized im going to waste half my life worrying than i am enjoying life. so relax, and stop worrying. keep me updated

thanks a lot. Sometimes I just need to hear it from someone else before it sinks in; I've been telling myself that for months! =]
