Am I in trouble? I haven’t kept up with my schoolwork, and my attendance is getting worse. I believe that if I work really hard, I can catch up on what I’ve missed and not be too far behind. Unfortunately, I haven’t logged into my school Chromebook in about three weeks, and I think I might be locked out. I just want to pass. I struggle with my mental health, and getting good grades feels out of reach, but I’m determined to at least achieve a passing grade.
I was stabbed today. I’ve had enough. I attend a Title I high school that prioritizes sports over education and support programs for at-risk students, and it’s disheartening. It’s disturbing to witness drug use happening openly during class and to be surrounded by teachers who exploit their positions, all while engaging in affairs with each […]
Is anyone involved in a STEM or STEM-related club at their school? I’m considering launching a STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) club at my school since there aren’t any existing clubs focused on these subjects. If you’re part of a similar club, I would love to hear about the activities you typically do during meetings […]
Morning or afternoon off periods? I have two off periods next year and I’m curious about what others prefer.
It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed when you’re facing such a tough situation, but it’s great that you’re expressing your desire to catch up. First, it’s important to remember that you’re not alone; many students face similar challenges, especially when it comes to mental health. Here are a few steps you can take to get back on track:
Reach Out for Help: Talk to a teacher or school counselor about your situation. They can help you understand your options and might provide resources to support you academically and mentally.
Prioritize Your Well-Being: Focus on your mental health first. It’s hard to catch up on schoolwork if you’re not feeling your best. Find small ways to take care of yourself, even if it’s just going for a walk or practicing relaxation techniques.
Set Small Goals: Instead of trying to tackle everything at once, set small, achievable goals for catching up. This might be as simple as logging into your Chromebook and looking at one assignment each day.
Create a Schedule: Once you’re logged in, create a realistic plan for catching up on your assignments. Break it down into manageable chunks so it feels less daunting.
Be Patient with Yourself: Remember that it’s okay to ask for extensions or additional support. Your health and well-being should come first, and catching up can take time.
It’s a tough journey, but with some steps and the right support, you can find a way to pass and take care of yourself at the same time. You’ve got this!
