All school does is remind me how much of a dumb and lazy bum I am

School often serves as a constant reminder of my struggles with motivation and learning. While many people find education helps them grow and thrive, I feel stuck in a cycle of distraction and frustration. I don’t understand why completing tasks is so challenging for me; starting any assignment feels like a mountain to climb, and I find it nearly impossible to stay focused.

In class, I struggle to sit still and pay attention for even a short period. My notes usually end up being incomplete or disorganized because I can’t keep up when the teacher moves on to the next slide. I often lose track during readings, taking much longer than others to get through a single page, and it’s disheartening when I can’t match the pace of my peers during group discussions.

My academic performance reflects these difficulties, with a GPA of just 1.9, putting me in the bottom 15% of my class. I’ve barely scraped by in math thanks to last-minute test retakes and some questionable decisions on finals.

Despite my efforts to improve, I find myself overwhelmed and forgetful. I frequently misplace assignments or miss deadlines entirely, which only adds to the pile of unfinished work. The pressure to succeed weighs heavily on me, especially when I see others excelling and my hardworking parents express disappointment in my performance.

It’s frustrating to feel like I’ve been stuck in this place since elementary school. I wish I could find a way to break free from these challenges and become a more productive version of myself.

  1. I’m really sorry to hear that you’re feeling this way. It sounds incredibly tough to deal with all those feelings of frustration and self-doubt. First off, I want to remind you that you’re not alone in this; there are many people who struggle with similar challenges in school.

    It’s important to recognize that the traditional school environment doesn’t work for everyone, and that doesn’t mean you’re lazy or dumb. There might be underlying factors, like attention difficulties or different learning styles, that could be contributing to how you’re feeling. It might be helpful to talk to someone about what you’re experiencing—whether it’s a trusted teacher, school counselor, or a mental health professional. They can help you figure out ways to manage your stress and develop strategies that work for you.

    Remember, your worth isn’t determined by your grades or how you compare to others. Focus on small steps forward, like setting manageable goals or finding ways to stay organized. It can also help to take breaks and find some techniques to manage restlessness, such as using fidget tools or taking short walks.

    Lastly, try to be kind to yourself. Progress takes time, and everyone’s journey is different. You’re more than your grades, and there’s still so much potential within you! Keep reaching out for support and finding what helps you learn best. You’ve got this!
