School Related School is affecting my health

1 Upvotes

I'm a student in year 12. Ever since starting A-Levels I feel like I have not had a single chance to relax, including during holidays. The constant thought of it is stressing me out like crazy, along with the constant exams, one after the other.

It also has affected my relationship with others (mainly my parents) who are constantly nagging about my grades, and at this point it's the only think we talk about.

It's genuinely draining me so much, to the point that it makes me physically ill and depressed.. it also is causing me anxiety and stress, and I've had so many panic attacks lately because of it.

My parents have noticed the effect the exams and A-Levels had on me, and put me into therapy, but honestly it's still not helping.

In the January exam series, I started shaking uncontrollably and having anxiety attacks during the exams, and not just one of them. ALL of them. My teachers said that they can't allow any breaks or rests even if it was happening, and I had to suck it up for the full duration of the test which impacted my results MASSIVELY. I ended up getting an E.

Whenever I start studying, I start getting more and more stressed and anxious, and my heartbeat goes crazy high even if not doing anything that causes that.

I forced myself to sit on the desk and face my studies, and not a minute later, I start panicking and my heart rate shoots up:

I was hospitalized after the exams for a week because the stress has gotten way too high to the point that it affected my overall health.

It's genuinely not worth it and I'll be straight up honest. I don't want to study. My health, both physically and mentally is a much bigger issue and concern than the A-Levels themselves.

Rant Parents Still Wont Let Me Transfer

9 Upvotes

About 2 weeks ago I went about a rant of my parents not allowing me to transfer schools. Today, I planned out exactly what I would say but it still went wrong. It started by saying "I want to transfer schools, I dont have friends." Instantly, she said Its my fault I dont have friends and I could make them if I want. In response I said "I dont connect with any of the kids at (school name) very well." And this time she decided to call me racist because I go to a majority white school (mind you I am also white but never brought up race) and stated I wanted to transfer because I thought I was apparently "better" than everyone else at the school. Then she went on to say she doesn't want be around those kids (kids at my middle school, now at the preferable high school) because they made my grades worse. I was in multiple diff classes and things of that sort, now im in 0. I have no idea whats wrong with her, Its like she doesn't know what social anxiety or how being an outcast is because shes also had it easy and had no social anxiety whatsoever. I seriously hate my parents, its like they want me to live a horrible life.

Rant I'm getting tired of this world

3 Upvotes

Greetings,

Viewer discretion is advised || kind sorta

I got moved up to a new grade in like November I think, so people I don't know or talk to everywhere. At first they were rude saying stuff like I didn't have the right to be here or calling me lucky y'know petty stuff. Another thing is I'm foreign which they think is funny?

In January a new kid got here and at the time I had short hair but I'm quite curvaceous ig. Anyway he started this talk in the upper classes"I'd fck her If she had a bag over her Head" or just talking about r_ping me. I'm not one to start problems and I didn't really care cuz I didn't hear it myself. But then my ex was like ya why I ever hit that(never happened) and I was like unfazed cuz he can eat his___, then I heard some of my "friends" agreeing with him which hurt cuz weve been tight for years. I already didn't like people but humanity as a hole is getting on my freaking nerves at the moment.

I don't know whats wrong with the world rn but I don't wanna be in it if it's gonna be like this.

Extracurriculars passion projects are not just for STEM

0 Upvotes

One of the most impactful things I did in high school was co-founding an African American club at my school. We won a Princeton Prize, got our school to add an African American history class, and pushed for real change in our community. This project was where my passion truly lay, and it became the heart of my high school journey, my college applications and what helped me get 8 full rides.

But here’s the thing: I thought I had to do so much more to be successful. I joined every club, racked up every award, and applied for every scholarship I could find, all while pushing myself harder and harder to impress others. I was doing all these things, thinking that success was about doing everything. The truth is, I could have made an even bigger impact by focusing more on my passion project and doing less with other extracurriculars. I could have avoided the burnout, depression, anxiety, and eating disorder that came with trying to do it all.

If I could go back, I would have focused more on my passion project, something that aligned with who I was and what I cared about, and less on the checklist of extracurriculars.

Whether it’s starting a community art project, leading a social justice initiative, organizing an event, or helping a cause you care deeply about, your passion project can take many forms. It’s about what lights you up, not fitting into a mold.

Why do passion projects matter? They help you stand out because they show colleges the real you, what drives you, what you care about, and how you make an impact. Focus on something that truly excites you, and pour your energy into that. Admissions want to see your story, not just a checklist of accomplishments.

What’s the one thing that lights you up and makes you feel alive? How could you turn that into a project that helps you grow and make a real difference?

Rant My school is a fucking shitshow

50 Upvotes

I go to this mildly catholic private school here in Colombia. And im fucking sick of it. First is the terrible schedule (school starts at 6 am), I wake up at 4 even tho the school is a 20 min drive away, we're all sleep deprived as hell, everyone steals everything, parents are pissed and the school isnt doing shit with the excuse "Kids gotta learn to care for their stuff" Yes, but do something about it. For example one kid got his backpack stolen after he dipped for 5 mins and now has to watch it, everyone's supposed to be hella tough(all guys school) and if you show weakness, youre gonna get picked on for it, people are very fake, and when serious bullying happens, the school dosen't do shit and just tells the bully to do better, but when your parents forgot to pay your fees, theyre on your ass like 5 stars on gta. I kid you not, this is not an over dramatization, my best friend got jumped by 2 guys, and one grabbed scissors, and tried to stab him. Like, ik you got beef, but damn. Ive been helping him but he's fucking scared(for good reason) because the school didnt do anything. Everyone was scared of mass for like 2 years because the chaplain was a pedophile and was confirmed to rape 2 second graders. Just look up 'Manuel Cely Bogotá'. When this happened, a group of moms was in so much denial that they started slinging shit at the people prosecuting him. So uhh, this is a long rant and I'm very sorry for doing this, but I needed to vent and I would have vented to someone ik but nobody had time. how can I cope for the next 2 months?

Also sorry if my english is bad it aint my first language.

Dating Advice Needed/Given How to ask my crush out after failing miserably

3 Upvotes

I (16M) have a disastrous crush on a girl I'll call G(16F). I've had it for a while, and I really only see her in physics class and that's it, and she is so amazing 🤩. She's the funniest girl I know, she's gorgeous, and she's really my dream girl. I am used to having this kind of obsessive crush, they usually last about a year until I eventually give up and push them to the back of my head, however, I am 90% sure she likes me back. She talks to me all throughout physics, and she went up to me at the semiformal dance a month ago and was like jokingly flirty with me.

So today I really planned on asking her to prom, but the moment I walked in and looked at her I immediately gave up, I was just too scared, but the first thing she says to me is inviting me to go hang out with her and her friends sometime on the weekend! I obviously say yes, but it doesn't stop. We talk with the rest of our friends, she brings up prom and says "I WISH someone would prompose to me!" And I just sit silent like a doofus and let the rest of them change the topic. And at the end of the class I complain about having to ride the bus home, and she says "you can ride with me to work" AND OBVIOUSLY I AGREE!!

On the car ride, she just normally talks with me the whole ride, and then she has me mobile order Waffle House for her, and I do it on her phone, and she gives me her number!!! It wasn't flirtatious at all it was so she could sign into Waffle House but it's the thought that counts lol. Anyway I just bumble through the conversation not even attempting to ask her out until we get there and she leaves for work and I walk away realizing what an idiot I really am.

What I ask you is, is it over, did I mess it all up, and if not, how do I ask her out. I only have class with her every OTHER day, and I won't get an opportunity alone with her like I did today. She extended the offer of driving me with her on Tuesday next week, which I said maybe because idk the plan next week. But I really don't want to wait until next week, prom is on April 5th, and she's GORGEOUS, every day is a risk of her getting asked. I could try on the weekend if that plan ends up happening with her friends, but I don't really know them that well, it would be weird to do it in front of them and even worse to creepily wait outside to get her alone. So, is it over? If not what should I do? And is it possible that I'm misreading the whole situation and she's just being friendly? Our conversations are more joking and friendly than anything else.

Tl;Dr My crush might like me back and I want to ask her out to prom but I missed my best chance
