I’m at my breaking point. As a senior just months away from graduation, I’ve always maintained good grades and rarely see C’s. But lately, school has taken a toll on me. I’ve been doing online classes since COVID hit, and a few months back, my teacher unintentionally set me back by two semesters. I calculated that I would need to work nonstop—eight hours every day, including weekends and holidays—just to catch up and graduate on time. I’ve never felt this close to dropping out before—it’s so overwhelming. 😭
I give up
I’m really sorry to hear that you’re feeling this way. It sounds incredibly overwhelming, especially being so close to graduation. First, take a deep breath and remember that it’s okay to feel stressed; you’re not alone in this. Have you thought about reaching out to your teacher or a school counselor to explain your situation? They might be able to help you find a solution, whether it’s adjusting deadlines or offering additional resources. It’s also important to take care of yourself during this time—make sure you’re getting enough rest and taking breaks when you need them. You’ve worked hard to get to this point, and there might be options available to help you graduate on time without burning yourself out. Hang in there!
