Trying to understand math and getting tutored, but it stresses me out
16/f
I feel so stressed out. I haven't felt like this in a year. I think it's mostly school. I'm so horrible at math and I've been trying to understand and tutoring and all that but it stresses me out. I'm afraid that if I can't do good in it, that I won't do good when I get out of high school and go to college because I'm not too great at math.
Then being able to afford college because I'll be a senior in a few months. The college I'll most likely end up going to is thousands, like maybe $9,000 including room and board, and all that. I'm afraid if I don't get enough money by that time then I won't leave.
I could wait a year but there are reasons why I don't want to but if it comes down to it, then I will.
We haven't had many family problems recently. Awhile ago it was really tough but now I don't think any of that is the problem.
I've been taking what people say pretty seriously. My friend will ask me what I'm good at and he'll say I'm not good at really anything. He said I was good at cleaning and cooking. I don't suck at school but I'm not amazing. My friends point out random things that are wrong with me. I usually just ignore it and it really didn't bother me. Lately I've been taking everything so seriously and I don't know how to stop. I tell myself positive things but it's so hard.
Anyway, sorry about how long this was but any help would be great. Thanks!

Math isn't necessarily all that important when you go to college. If you're planning on majoring in engineering or science, you will need to take complex math courses. If you're planning on going into economics or business, the math you take would be considerably easier. Very little calculus, mostly graphing and adding/subtracting/multiplying/dividing. If you're planning on going into the arts, you may not need to take any math at all. Take a look at the college you're planning on going to and see what the required courses are for the programs you want to apply to. You may be pleasantly surprised. Personally, I'm no good at artsy things, so I stuck with a program that didn't involve that sort of thing. To each her own! There's no point in fighting to complete a program you won't enjoy.
As for making money, yes, there are student loans. There are also scholarships and bursaries for students in need. Try searching for scholarships that you can apply to. You'd be surprised at how much money you can bring in by writing a few essays. You'll also have the summers off to make money, and you can work part time during the school year. I've made it so far without student loans. It just means some strict budgeting and a little less partying than you might like.
If your friends are being overly critical of you and it's bothering you, you need to let them know. Next time one of them points out a flaw, give them a look and say something like "When did I ask for your opinion? Should I start pointing out all of your flaws?" They're picking on you because you accept it gracefully. If they don't want to hang out with you because you're standing up for yourself, they're not worth the effort.
Last but not least, if you are feeling seriously down, try going to talk to your guidance counselor. They can help you to work through some of the hard parts in your life.
