Serious Advice about school please!
I've always wanted to be a doctor since I ws a little girl,at first for..girly reasons but then it got more serious as soon as I grew up.
I got A's in math every year and this year is my first year of high school and of course I'm on Academic Math but ti's been really hard for me and it takes me 2-5 hours to do my hoemwokr every day, not including my other wokr form different classes.
My counciler told me that..maybe I need to do something 'different' because it's nto normal to be doing your homework for 5 hours a day and it's only going to get harder in grade 10 and longer at the rate I'm going.
My dad is for sure nto letting me move down a level to Appplied and I want to go to Applied but yet I dont' want to!
I really want to work in the medical field and my dad says that I HAVE to go to university, not college but university, no excuse. And that means I really need to stay on top of this levle of math! I have a 70% average so far but I know it's going down right now which isn't good.
My dad is thinking of getting me a tutor but I don't want one because Kumon and Sylvin, etc are really expensive for like an hour so I think it's a big riff off if I don't get what I'm doign and they still get paid.
and I can't get peer tutoring from my school because well..I don't know I'm really shy against peope I don't know. it's hard to make friends even though i have a lot and I kind of have all these crazy side affects so i woouldn't be able to focus.
Please help, I'm so depressed about this issue.

Kumon is something which you shouldn't be worried about. I was doing it a year ago myself, started when i was five - six. It helped me understand algebra, angles etc and yes it was expensive but it was worth every single penny. You don't need to do it at the centre, you can ask for the pack to be sent to your home where you can do it in more comfortabnle surroundings.
An answer book will come with the level (K, L, M etc) and you can mark them at home. If you get stuck on a question, you can refer to the book for help and you can work out the answer by appyling the method given to you.
Once you've finished a pack, another would already be with you so you can't forget what you've learned. But don't forget to send off the summary sheet when you've done so the centre can moniter your progress and see where your weak areas are.
The sheets go up to 200, but don't worry about this, time flies very quickly. They will be repeating so that you can get those equations, calculus etc drummed right into your head and they will stay with you until...well i suppose forever!
I hope this helps!!! Good luck with the Kumon if you decide to take it up!!

Everyone needs help now and then- a tutor wouldn't be a bad idea to help you get back on top of things. Also, through tutoring, you can get a better understanding of your studies and probably spend less time trying to do your homework every day.
Listen- a peer tutor is a good idea. Yah, they would be a stranger, but so would the people at Sylvan. They won't be a stranger for long. You just have to focus on the importance of improving your education, not the fact that your are being taught by someone you don't know.
You could also consider asking your math teacher if they are willing to give you after school tutoring.
