Hey! So tomorrow is the 1st day of school and I'm going to be a sophomore. Now, I know I shouldn't be that scared because last year was the 1st year of high school. Trust me I was freaking out last year also. I'm going to the same school and all, but every year since 7th grade(middle school) I have freaked out about school. And it's basically about the classes. I get soooooo scared about how hard the classes are going to be, because some of my friends took them last year and they say the teachers are mean, and the homework and class is hard. And now every year, like I said since middle school, I have been freaking out. I'm a super perfectionest(??). Everything with me has to be "perfect" or else I freak out. I worry that if I don't get All A's and B's that I won't get into college, and my GPA won't be high enough. I'm not the smartest person ever, but I do get A's and B's. I suck at taking tests. Seriously. I get mainly F's and D's on tests, but what keeps my grades up is the homework, which I don't always do so hot on eaither. I just don't know what to do. I've tried telling myself that everything will be ok, and everyone goes though this and has to go through high school, but for some reason I just keep worring. I get sooo stresed out about things, and sometimes when I think about it too much I tend to get really hot. It's weird. Do I have a problem? And what should I do about school? I know, and I tell myself, that I was super scared last year and I did fine. But I just don't know what to do!!!! Is something wrong with me? I don't know what to do about homework, grades, and teachers eaither! Pleasee help me! Sorry this was so long! Thanks!

Wow...I am just like you. Look here is what I do...I freak out, but I call my friends and they help me keep my mind off of things. If you only get As and Bs then you have nothing to worry about. Teachers WILL like you if you work hard in the class and if you study. If you dont like the class, then just go see your conselor and change. Relax, my sophmore year has seriously been my best year. Its actually the easiest year in high school. Prepare to make a lot of new friends and to have fun. School is not that bad. One the first day passes, your fears will fade away. But you're like me, we tend to worry a lot for no reason. Do you have an online website that says your grades? If you do, check it now. Cause mine already has the schedules on there. So do your hw, study for tests, cheat...haha.., befriend your teachers, and have fun. This year is going to be a blast for you.
