I Failed Honors Chemistry This Quarter
16/F
So I am a sophomore in highschool and I take honors chemistry (not by choice) and I made B's for the first two quarters and had a B average for the semester. The quarter that just passed I failed honors chemistry by two points, but I had shifted all of my focus to bringing up my honors algebra grade which has been a C all year. I made a high B in algebra, but at the expense of chemistry and now the school wants my mom to meet with my chemistry teacher.... I don't know what to do. My mom is gonna be really mad at me and I've already been really depressed lately (before failing chemistry) and having her scream in my face won't help me I'm already suicidal (again before failing chemistry. My mom doesn't know). I am also a girlscout and selling cookies after school made it impossible to get after school help because some nights I wouldn't get home until ten thirty with school the next day. What should I do?

yeah i agree, i think the time management thing and being pushed to take classes you may not be totally ready for isnt ok. Try talking to your mom or whoever and telling her that with the girl scouts going on that its distracting you from the honors classes because their harder then originally thought.
You cant be doing honors classes and girl scouts at the same time. i was in girl scouts and it can be demanding. So can honors classes (which my husband tells me can be time consuming) because you have to study alot.

Three things pop out at me right away. In order of importance they are, Suicidal, not by choice and not getting home some nights until 10:30.
A quick look tells me you have over loaded or are over loaded. That you have taken on or have had put upon you more than you can handle. IF this has been put upon you by your parent(s) it is unfortunate as it is not right.
As parents we think we know what our children are capable off. In reality it is more of what we want our children to be capable of and we believe we can push or drive them beyond what our child or children believe they are capable off. Sometimes this is true as some children are lazy. Most of the time this is false that we can and do over load our children, especially children that desire to have or can only get their parents approval be succeeding at all levels. If this sounds like you then you need help in talking to you parent(s).
First we need to address your being suicidal. Failing at school is no reason for suicide especially over honors classes. The fact that you said "not by choice" leads me to believe you are in some honors class because teachers and or mom believe this is where you should be.
If this is the underlying reason for how you are feeling then you need to say something to someone. Will mom believe you or will she think you are making an excuse? I can't say so what I would like you to do is one or both of the following two suggestions":
1. Talk to a trusted teacher or your school principal about how you feel and why you are feeling this way. They have to listen to you and take the appropriate action to protect you.
2. I'm going to give you two hot lines to call. The first is "Kids help phone." They specialize in problems teenagers face including teen suicide. If you're feeling suicidal call 911. Otherwise you can also call Kids Help Phone to speak to a counselor: 1-800-668-6868. They can help you. You don’t have to handle this on your own.
The next hotline is the National Suicide prevention hotline. That number is: 1-800-273-8255. No matter what problems you are dealing with, they want to help you find a reason to keep living. By calling 1-800-273-TALK (8255) you’ll be connected to a skilled, trained counselor at a crisis center in your area, anytime 24/7.
Both hotlines are open 24/7
The other problem you have is time management. For the moment we need to let this go. The bigger problem is getting the depression which is causing you to be suicidal under control. It is my believe that dropping one or more honors class may go a long way in helping lift the depression you are in. Call the hotlines and ask for help. IF you can't talk with your parents they will help you find someone can and will.
Then when you’re feeling better write back to me in a private message and I will help you with a way to manage time rather than have time mange you.
