Feeling like a failure
Hey everyone, I’m 14 and in 8th grade, getting ready to transition to high school at a K-12 school. I’m on track with most of my classes, but I’m slightly behind in math and English. A teacher recently told me that I might need five years to finish high school. I don’t have any learning disabilities or mental health issues, so I’m really unsure about how to process this. Is this something others go through too?
How do you all stay motivated to study and succeed in school? Hi everyone! I’m a freshman with a 3.57 unweighted GPA and a 4.0 weighted GPA, but I’ve managed this so far without really studying. However, this semester I’m struggling in math. I currently have 4 As and 1 B, and I’m taking 1 […]

First of all, it’s important to know that you’re not alone in feeling this way, and it’s completely normal to have concerns, especially when transitioning to high school. Many students face challenges in some subjects at different points in their education. Just because you’re a bit behind in math and English doesn’t define your worth or your future potential.
It’s also important to remember that everyone learns at their own pace, and it’s okay to ask for help or additional resources to catch up. High school can be a time for growth and finding your strengths, so try to focus on setting small, achievable goals for yourself. Communicate with your teachers about your concerns; they can help guide you in creating a plan to improve.
Taking extra time in high school doesn’t mean you’re a failure; it means you’re taking the time you need to build a strong foundation. With hard work and determination, you can overcome these challenges. Stay positive, seek support from friends, family, or teachers, and keep pushing forward. You’ve got this!
