I'm Fine, Really


Question Posted Saturday March 8 2008, 6:20 pm

I'm a senior in highschool and my day is pretty much over at 10:30, because I have early release. English is my last real period of my short day so, expectedly, it's hard to focus. I usually tired and read to go home.


My English teacher, I believe, is seriously worried about me. She's always asking me about life and if every thing's okay. I try to explain that I'm just tired but it doesn't work. She bought me a journal as a gift and in the card she wrote that when life gets you down and is hard to manage, I should "let go" adn write in the journal. She also recommended a book to me...a book on how to take control of life and only focus on the positive things.


I'm quiet puzzled as what to do. There's really nothing wrong, but she doesn't believe me?

Get a better nights sleep and be more alert in class.

It being a bit hard to focus at last period is one thing, but it should be something you can over come. Being so tired it makes your teacher concerned about your mental health... that might be something you want to work on.

It makes sense to be a bit tired at 8am, and perhaps even at 3 or 4pm at the end of the the day, but being tired by 10:30am, you should probably re-evaluate the lifestyle choices you are making that see you so tired only hours into your day. (Or speak to a doctor and figure out why you are exhausted by 11am). A decent nights sleep, a proper breakfast and a little bit of alertness in class will solve the problem with your teacher, and make your life a good deal more plesant when you find yourself with a day that goes longer then to 10:30 am.

That will solve your problem with your teacher and improve your life in general.

Your teacher really cares so you could try talking to her and explain your schedule to her. But try and a little more awake during class. But besides that be happy she cares. You can't really tell her differently because you act differently in class. So just be happy you have a teacher who cares.

I know this isn't really the same, but I'm usually extremely loud and outgoing, so anytime I am quiet everyone thinks there is something wrong and they refuse to believe that I'm truly okay.
There is really only one person who knows me well enough to tell the difference between upset and tired, not focused, etc.

Anyway, there isn't much you can do. I guess you can look on the bright side and be happy that she cares.

Maybe try and be a bit more lively in class. If she continues to stay on you and make sure you're okay just try and explain to her about your schedule and how you're really just tired.

If she still doesn't get it then you could write a poem or something about how you act when you feel different emotions (or just a passage in the journal). Then give it to her and walk away. Not in a rude way... just so she can get it.

If she still doesn't understand... at least she's looking out for you. It's rare to find teachers (or even people) who will do that.
