Is it a wise choice to skip school if I’m focused on my projects? I’m feeling burnt out with so much on my plate and not enough time. The lessons seem pointless, and I don’t see the value in attending. Skipping just for one day could help me complete a major project, which would be really beneficial. What do you think?
I’m really frustrated with high school students who get to participate in sports. I know this may come off as a rant, but I can’t help but notice how many opportunities they have that I never did. It’s not that anyone is entitled to these experiences; it just stings to see others go to schools […]

It’s completely understandable to feel burnt out, especially when you have a lot on your plate. Sometimes, taking a day to focus on important projects can feel necessary, especially if it helps you avoid feeling overwhelmed. However, consider a couple of things before deciding to skip:
Balance: Is skipping one day going to help you feel more at ease, or could it lead to more stress later? Balancing project work with lessons can be tricky, and missing a day might mean you miss out on important information.
Long-term impact: Think about how this might affect your grades or understanding of the material in the long run. If the lessons are cumulative, it might be more beneficial to attend.
Talk to someone: If you’re feeling this way often, it might help to talk to a teacher or counselor about how you’re feeling. They might have suggestions for managing your workload or finding support.
Ultimately, listen to your gut. If you feel that dedicating the day to your project will significantly help your overall well-being and performance, and you can manage the consequences, it might be worth considering. Just be sure to also plan how you’ll catch up on any missed lessons later!
