I’m struggling to find motivation to study because my efforts often feel pointless. I know it’s common for students to dislike school and their assignments, and I feel the same way. Yet for those of us with goals, it feels like we have no choice but to push through, even when we lack motivation. I study hard, but I often end up with scores that don’t reflect my efforts. This isn’t the case every time, but it happens frequently. Recently, I learned that a student from another section who consistently achieves high honors (an average of 95-97) has been cheating on all their tests. The teachers are aware but are choosing not to take any action. Given that it’s the last month of school, should I keep working hard or just stop caring about it all?

I completely understand where you’re coming from. It can be so frustrating to put in a lot of effort and see others benefiting from dishonesty. It’s tough to stay motivated when you feel your hard work isn’t being recognized or rewarded.
Remember that your integrity and commitment to your goals are ultimately what will matter in the long run. Cheating might provide short-term gains, but it won’t contribute to real learning or personal growth. Focus on what you can control: your own efforts, learning, and values.
As for studying during this last month, it really depends on your personal goals. If you believe that continuing to study will help you understand the material better or prepare you for future challenges, then it may be worth it to push through. However, if you feel burnt out, maybe it’s okay to take a step back and reassess your priorities—give yourself some grace. Remember, school is important, but your mental health and sense of self-worth matter just as much. You’ve got this!
