hey, i asked a question before about the whole tutor thing and not being sure about what people would say... i have another thing that brings me down. i just went to freshman orientation and everyone was looking at eachothers schedules and i learned that all of my friends are in honors classes and i'm the only one in CP classes. and i'm not exaggerating when i say all of my friends i do mean ALL of my friends. this might sound really consited and selfish but I'M the one that has the higher goals in life and I'M the one that wants to have a great future and they mostly just throw their lives away focusing on boys and partying. the majority of them just want to become like a hair dresser or something like that and i'm the only one that wants to do something great and that's goint to help people I'M the one that wants to be a doctor. why can't I have the good grades??? i'm the one that needs it! i want to be a doctor while all my other friends hardly even want to plan their future! i find this totaly unfair! i feel so stupid sometimes and i just want to sit and cry. what can i do to make myself feel better about all of this!?PLEASE help i rate high!

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Wanting to be a doctor doesn't make you all high + mighty + able to have things just handed to you, you know. Don't start saying, oh well, so and so just wants to be a hairdresser and *I* want to be a doctor, so I should be in honors classes because I'm just so much better. Um, no. Honestly, you're probably not ready to be in honors classes and your grades'll be better if you stick to regular ones. Good grades in normal classes are worth more than crappy ones in honors classes, you know. But you have to WORK for your grades, don't expect to have them handed to you. If you put the work in, I can almost guarantee you your grades'll be fine. Oh, and hairdressers DO help people, you know .. I don't have a clue what I would do without mine =)
Just start working super hard and if your grades improve, maybe next year you'll be ready for some honors classes =).
Haha .. I <3 how being honest makes me a bitch =)

I know how you feel, I've always wanted to be a journalist or a marine biologist, but all of my other friends don't have any goals for the future, but still get into good classes. Work harder, study more. If you truly want something you can achieve it. Sooner or later all their partying is going to catch up with them. If you need help in a subject, don't be afraid to ask. Or, look into getting a tutor. You're probably smart, but maybe you just procrastinate and start daydreaming. Try and get more sleep, and DON'T procrastinate, whenever you start thinking "i'll just skip one math problem" or "ill do this later" think of how much you want to be a doctor, and how much you want a great future.
Hope I helped =)

I know exactly how u feel, I wanted to be a doctor up until about a month ago. I had to decide against it tho coz my grades this yr were really bad. If you really want to be a doctor then all u have to do is study hard and believe in urself. Just because ur friends are in honor class and ur not doesnt make u stupid. Just believe in urself and work hard.

Here is the deal. Some people are smart and don't have to work as hard to do well. Eventually, that will catch up with them. They get used to things being easy, and they don't always live up to their potential.
Working hard in school is great. If you think you can hack a more advance class, do it. Just realize you have to study more. It will pay out in the end. Don't cry about your friends, do something to make yourself better. Its not to late to be a doctor. Talk to your guidance counselor, they can help you a lot.

Talk to your counselor about your schedule.
See if you can move up in your courses.
Tell them if you can't hack it after six weeks that you'll drop down to the regular course.

freshman year grades/classes matter very little. on your college transcript they dont even count. taking honors in freshamna year is a way to set yourself up for taking AP or advanced classes sophmore year. Class isnt really a time to scoicalize anyway you can have fun with your friends at lunch. also make new friends in class thats what high school is for.

First of all, being a hair dresser is something great. Did you know that you have to go to college for a year and take finals and everything, just like if you wanted to be a doctor? Oh, and if you want your own BUSINESS, you have to take TONS of HARD math and accounting courses to make sure you know how to operate it correctly. Sure, you don't have lots of years of college, but you have to work, and HARD. Just like you. If you want better grades, and if you want to be in honors classes, study. It's not their fault that your grades aren't the way you want them, and personally I think you're being very rude by putting down their plans just because you think being a doctor is so fine and dandy. You have NO idea what their goals may be, they may want to be doctors too, but just aren't sure right now. So stop concentrating on them and their grades and concentrate on your own.

PS. Sorry if that sounded rude, but I get very angry when people think their plans for life are so much better than others.

Hi,
The fact that you have ambition and want to go on to achieve is great. You have to realise however that this does not mean your entitled to good grades or 'its not fair' if you don't get them. Good grades are achieved by working hard for them. If you are honestly doing your very best and still not achieving their may be a specific reason why. A tutor and extra lessons could be extremely beneficial hear. If you did go down that route and it still didn't help - you may have to face a hard fact and ask your self the question: I'm I intelligent enough to do this. Wanting something is one thing - having what it takes in another.
Good Luck

Sooner or later you'll get to the spot where all you other friends are..Then again if your learning at your pase then, You'll get to see more stuff in life and do my activites..while all your friends are melting the brains..studying and pulling all nighters!...Plus you only get to have 4 years in High School..you wouldn't want to be doing College stuff while your still in High School..you have College to do the College stuff you want and all! Just stick to being a regular high school teen!...-good luck..hope I helped =P.
