i skipped again...

[Melkor]

So I have started skipping after our prom night was over last week and I can't handle the assignments that I am doing, I can't focus my thoughts and I end up panicking when I have the assignment due. Our lessons are over but I still have to hand in my summatives which are all late by now? What can I do? I am losing so much mark. I know it is illogical but staying at home relieves me from stress and I can't even go outside which makes me really anxious of seeing my friends...

I know exactly how you feel Isaiah, High-school has stressed me out as well when I first started. This is probably what you don't want to hear but you have to stay strong, maybe talk to your guidance councilor about how you feel and maybe he/she can work something out.

Giving up on school really won't help. I know it seems like it will, but that's only for the short term. School, for me, gives me some sense of purpose. Perhaps, if you relate school to purpose then you might do better. Also, remember that it is never too late to change. When you go to turn in those assignments, be proud of them even if they are late. You can be happy because you can know that next time you will do better because you can learn from the experience. It's never too late to change, my friend. Never. If there's something wrong with your education, you can totally fix it no matter how bad it is. That holds true for any part of your life. You just have to put some effort into it and associate it with purpose. Give yourself purpose in doing things such as education.
