feeling stupid/about to give up completely/HELP.
i'm a junior in highschool. recently i switched from homeschooling to public schooling, and in order for my transcript to pass through to my new school, i have to take some tests to prove that i've been doing the schoolwork in homeschool. well i already finished the algebra I test, and i still have to take physical science and world history. history has always been my worst subject, i can't ever remember getting any higher than a C in that class. plus, it doesnt interest me in the least bit. and physical science isn't as bad, but i still hate the class with every fiber of my being.
i need to pass the tests in those 3 subjects or i'll have to go to summer school. i have the study guides, but we can't find the answers to any of the history questions. i can't find any of them on google or anywhere. and the tests are both scheduled for the next two weeks. plus, i have to take gateways in a week.
and on top of all this shit, i'm failing every one of my classes. history and spanish are the worst. my history teacher packs so much stuff for us to do. i have three projects, 75 definitions, and a 4 page study guide due tuesday, a 5 page report in english due monday, and then i have to retake two or three tests in spanish and have two worksheets due.
i'm not used to being under pressure, and i'm really not good at it. i feel like i'm about to have a nervous breakdown. since i'm so stressed all the time, i've started popping and rashing out at my family and friends and i've become very depressed. and it really doesn't help that my sisters come home with A+ report cards and i'm honestly doing the best i can but i'm still getting B's, C's, and D's. and those added together only make for low C's.
does anyone have any advice for me? i really need to help. thanks in advance.

Im in middle school and i took a class called study skills. I know it sounds stupid but it taught me how to give a speech in front of people without being nervous, how to really follow directions, how to take tests, how to study for tests and how to just plain study. These are the 12 steps to success:
1. Set up a study time and follow it; everynight same place, same time
2. Study weeks in advance; dont cram the night before the test
3. Dont overwelm yourself; doing to much work will cause you to forget information and have a meltdown
4. Take small 10 minute breaks every 30 minutes
5. Review, Review, Review; dont try to remember all the crap you study
6. Find out when you study best; in the morning, afternoon, or night?
7. Have your materials ready and be energized; have a snack and everything with you so you dont have to waste time looking
8. Study an hour a night; dont study for 2 or 3 hours at a time, it will cause you to forget
9. Stay organized; have folders, files, and a pencil holder
10. TURN OFF THE MUSIC AND T.V; work in a quiet space like at a desk, table, or library where you can sit up straight, never get comfortable on your bed or in a beanbag chair, it will make you sleepy
11. Have lots of light; dim lighting makes it hard to stay awake and see
12. CONSINTRATE; stay focused on what your doing and dont get distracted
Hope this helps!
