I am losing my stamina...I feel like I can't keep up anymore. My stupid life that is school, is spinning out of control. Isn't that bullshit? A few letters on paper can cause your whole life to be miserable. No one seems to understand either, they just think I'm "lazy" or want to just "quit". I don't want to quit, I just need help, that's it... :( This happens a lot too, I do good for a short period, then all of a sudden it spin out of control. I don't know why either. I am so mad at myself, because obviously there is no one else to be mad at. My mom gets upset when I do bad in school, I try to explain, but she never understands. I hate having a bad relationship with my mom, she is one of the few people that understands me and the way I feel. :(

I don't even know what to do...or why I'm saying this, what does it help?

Is school starting to make you feel depressed? A lot of this sounds like the beginnings of depression. (So be careful- if things get really bad, talk to someone.) I can honestly relate to this in every aspect of my life.

I don't have a lot of advice, sadly, but I do wish you the best. :hug: I'm always here to talk if you need me.

I know how you feel because school is doing the same thing to me. I can't concentrate in class, my mind is always on other things. My head is constantly full of thoughts that I'm going to fail everything I do, I just can't cope. I wish I could offer you some advice but I can't. I haven't found any way to help myself yet. I'm sure other people will have good advice though, and I wish you the best of luck. You can get through this.

well it can help to talk about it. it can not only help relieve you (even slightly) but now you got people here who can try to help you.

it is good you do not want to give up. that is half of the battle. there is no easy answer to give. I do gently agree you might be beginning to develop depression. it couldn't hurt to talk to someone at school. they would be able to help you get more help if needed.

depression is just not a thing to mess around with. if you are depressed, you are going to need some help and nothing wrong with that.

Well , as "SethfromMI" has said , you shouldn't give up. For example , I got a 6 in a Physics exam (it annoyed me , because I use to get very high marks) . So , I study A LOT for the next exam ... and I got a 10!!
It made me feel very happy!!
So , what I'm trying to say it's to keep studying and to do your best :)

OK, I'm pretty young so it might not be the same for you but I had a lotta that and found out I had ADHD. Got on meds and got better for a while and then they quit working and everything went all to pieces. I was losing friends and doing like crap in school but I got help and got better. I guess my point is, don't give up just cuz you're having a rough time right now. Ask someone for help. Talk to someone. Post a bunch. Just do something that makes you feel a little better. Maybe if you can turn things around just a little bit it'll start making it better.

Well, my grades are falling again and I somehow have a 1.8 GPA. This is utter bullshit. Somehow I'm turning in work, and it fixes nothing. I'm being threatened with being sent to a different school. It sucks.

I doesn't bother me when people get mad, it hurts me when people are disappointed. They make it sound so easy, "just turn in more stuff". But no one gets it, or maybe I am just that bad. No one else seems to struggle with school work.

I admit, I am a lazy worthless fuck. But I should at least be able to graduate highschool, right? :(

I guarantee this isn't true, everyone is worth something. Some people are cut out for the educational lifestyle, others aren't, just hang in there. Hand in what you can, do what you can, and ask your teachers for help. If they see you making an effort they will too
