Hi,

So much keeps F***KING UP recently (btw swearing allowed noticed I haven't seen any but the over open discussions in the teen sexuality thread suggest it may be okay unless its aimed towards people). I recently had a teacher say to me stop over thinking things so much because I kep asking questions on whether I was right with the answer etc. He also said it was a sign of being gifted or 'bright'. Of which I know but I also know its a sign of depression of which I do know I have but it only affects me badly sometimes.

The other annoying thing is I'm not trying as hard in class with work in particular subjects and yet I skipped year 10 into year 11. So probably not a smart idea although one of my teachers thinks I'm not that intelligent. But I didn't dare mention well maybe I should bother to try then and I would get way past a C and back into A's again. I dunno. So much stuff has been on my mind though. This school is F***KING me around and wasn't what they set it up to be when they discussed it with us. I just want someone to finally tell me I can have an IQ Test prove to everyone yeah he has a high IQ and he knows how to use it and says go to Uni. Already been told by a psychologist I'm at a Uni level in written stuff he had read. So far any IQ tests for my age would cost from $750-$1200 or anywhere inbetween which I don't have that kind of money to be using on a damn piece of paper saying yeah he is really intelligent GAH. Some people know its just obvious especially the people who know me well. I even act more mature then most people my age and hanging out with adults all the time doesn't help that. I even find adults immature quiet often.

Just need something to work out in my favor for once. Just once didn't win a damn scholarship and someone else in my class did who has barely any knowledge about it. JUST W$T^#WH^%&#@$TREH%^*[email protected]%[email protected] WHY CAN'T MY LIFE WORK OUT JUST PERFECTLY JUST FOR A YEAR.

I've missed so much schooling as it is thanks to different health related things and now most are cleared up but the remains of depression and the fact its not helping I'm not where I want to be. Missing the amount of schooling I have and getting A's and skipping a year is just like WTF but people take no notice of that fact.

Just for once if it worked out perfectly for say a year then thats all I would need to set up everything else to go somewhat well. Oh well looks like I am stuck where I am till someone realises hey he finds this too easy and we need to help him out. Or just something happens.

Anyway if you read all of that I think I kinda went around in circles...but thanks for any imput.

Sounds like it's a really stressful situation ): Schools these days put so much pressure and expectations on us, and we feel like if we haven't fulfilled them then we must have failed, or be messed up in some way. Not true. In fact our education system is severely flawed. No other generation so far has had to put up with as much crap as we have. My dad tells me he was ranked 8th in his graduating class, and he had a 3.7. I have a 4.0 and I'm 27th.

I know it doesn't seem like it now, but there is more to life than school and grades. A lot more. Not everything in your life is going to revolve around what teachers think of you or what marks you get. For what little it's worth, try and hang in there. Forget about what others are doing and concentrate on relaxing and working through it at your own pace. And try and remember, after you're 18 very little of this is going to matter again.

Hang on tight, man. I was in a similar situation to you and ended up dropping out of school, effectively because I was depressed and felt I couldn't hack it anymore. This only makes it worse.

Seek treatment, talk to someone about this and keep on trying in school because once you're out it makes everything so much worse.

I understand that my life isn't always going to revolve around school thats why I know for a fact thanks to particular people such as my psychologist and teachers and other I know that I could go to uni now. But I can't get a fucking IQ test because so far the only ones we have found are too expensive. I'm not having a problem with where I'm at I'm not even barely putting in any effort which today I was told I should probably do (after parent teacher interviews). So at the moment I'm passing and most lessons getting a B or C. Which if I bothered I could very easily get A's again. I just need to plan and start early and read over my work and then fix it up. Ask other peoples opinions whether I should change anything etc etc.
