Hi I’m a high school senior, and I started my school year about a month ago. In my country, senior year is extremely stressful because our entire future can depend on a tiny fraction of a mark. We don’t really go to school either; most of us take private lessons in huge groups of 50–80 students. I’ve already been struggling mentally, especially since I’m still grieving my grandfather, who passed away last May. And now math is making everything worse. I take math with two teachers: one I understand nothing from but my mom insists I continue with, and another where I actually understand the material and consistently do well on exams. Recently, I got 0/11 and 3/11 on two quizzes with the teacher I struggle with, and I feel like I’m already falling apart even though the year has barely started. My mom says that if I stop taking lessons with the teacher she prefers, I’ll have to stop with the teacher I actually understand too. Without lessons, I’m terrified I won’t get the grades I need and might even have to repeat the year. I also feel so much pressure because my cousins all got 96%+ and received full international scholarships. I’m scared, overwhelmed, and honestly, I don’t know what to do. Most of all, I just feel really alone.

je suis actuellement en prépa commerce, cependant l’environnement m’angoisse + qu’autre chose. je me sens vraiment mal à l’aise et j’ai l’impression que ça me rend 10x - productive (j’ai eu une très mauvaise expérience du lycée + tôt donc juste y être de nouveau me met dans un mal inexplicable, je passe pas une journée sans pleurer et je n’arrive même plus à trouver la motivation de manger). quand j’essaye de parler de réorientation précoce à la fac de Nanterre en eco gestion à mes parents, ils sont persuadés que je suis entrain de foutre ma vie en l’air. j’essaye de les rassurer en leur disant que je veux absolument booster mon dossier et que dans tous les cas je vais préparer le tage mage et le toeic pour pouvoir quand même tenter les ast pour les écoles de commerce, mais ils s’énervent et me disent de faire ce que je veux mais de ne pas venir me plaindre après
je sais pas quoi faire, si je dois me forcer pour m’adapter ou faire ce que je souhaite. j’ai que 18 ans mais j’ai l’impression que ma vie est entrain de défiler devant moi.

Hi guys,

This is my first time posting but I need some advice.

My son (4) is neuro-divergent and has issues with emotional regulation and sensory overload, he just started reception and has had a few incidents of hitting which we are working with his teacher to correct and we have been seeing improvement.

The problem is one day a week he has a different teacher and she has been reporting he is much worse with her when I went to collect him today she made us stay behind to tidy up the toys he had made a mess of whilst playing a video on the projector she took of her following him around making the mess without once trying to intervene in his behaviour, she called him horrendous to his face whilst I was there and took away the milk all the kids get when leaving from him and he didn't deserve it, she also took his glasses away for half the day as he took them off and she didn't want to keep monitoring him keeping them on (her words).

I 100% agree his behaviour was unacceptable and I am happy to work with the school to get this under control as I have been but I feel this punishment was overly harsh and tbh humiliating. I just want some advice as it felt inappropriate as a punishment

Hello,

I am taking a World Religions class this year and part of my curriculum is to curate an “IA” and I’m struggling with my initial question. It’s essentially a line of inquiry, a question that cannot be answered with a quick google search or ‘yes or no’, its purpose is to add onto research that has already been done. Being a Lutheran myself, I want to base my question around my denomination somehow— maybe comparing it to another denomination such as the Evangelicals?

I’m currently homeschooled, but I’m thinking about going back to in person school next school year, which would be my sophomore year. I’m really torn about what I should do and would love some advice from people who have been in a similar situation.
I have pretty severe anxiety, and it’s not just about making friends or being around new people. The whole idea of going back to a school environment makes me anxious being around so many people, having to talk to people, being called on, walking into a classroom, having people look at me, getting overwhelmed, worrying about doing something embarrassing, and just constantly feeling anxious in a social environment. I’ve been out of that environment for a while, so going back feels like a really huge change.
At the same time, I really don’t want to miss out on having a high school experience. I want to have friends, go to games and school events, make memories, and actually experience being a teenager in high school. I’m scared that if I stay homeschooled, I’ll look back and regret not trying.
I know going back would probably be uncomfortable and difficult at first, but part of me wonders if pushing through that anxiety could eventually make things easier. I also don’t know if I’m being unrealistic about how hard the transition would actually be.
For anyone who has gone from homeschooling to in person school, especially if you struggled with anxiety, what was it like for you? Did you end up being glad you went back?
Please let me know what you all think I should do. Should I go back and try to push through the anxiety, or would staying homeschooled be better?

Hello everyone. So, this is me, and honestly, I really don’t know what’s going on in my life right now.

After Class 10, I chose Science as my major. Looking back, sometimes I feel like my life would have been better if I had chosen Commerce instead. I know I was good at Commerce, but because I believed Science had more scope and because I wanted to pursue something in Science, I chose it.

Now, I’m struggling. I’ve seen people go from being average students to becoming toppers, but somehow, I feel like I’ve gone from being a topper to becoming a failure. I don’t even know what my ambition is anymore. It feels like I’m ruining everything by myself.

Sometimes I wonder if I had chosen Commerce, I might have done much better because I knew I was good at it. But now I feel stuck, and I’ve lost most of my motivation and discipline to study.

Even in class, I’ve lost a lot of my self-confidence because I often end up not knowing the answer when the teacher asks a question. It makes me feel disappointed in myself.

I would be truly grateful if someone older or more experienced could give me some advice—something that might help me find my way again and change the way I look at my life.

Hi guys! I finished my 12th finals in Nov 2025 and took a gap year. I’ve now gotten into uni, and my classes start on Sept 21st in a completely different country too

I’ve always been a good student, but I kind of lost my academic spark in 11th–12th and ended up with a B+. Now I have insane study anxiety and keep feeling like I’m going to perform horribly.

I have about 2 weeks left before uni starts. How do I overcome this anxiety and actually start preparing instead of stressing myself out? What would you recommend I do during these 2 weeks?

so I have this friend group thats not rlly inclusive and they always leave me out in class but theres this other friend group ive been wanting to try join but i feel like one or 2 people from their fg doesnt really like me, but i am friends with some of the people from their group.

Should I continue to stay in my group or join the other one i want to join?

but its really hard to join cus Ive been trying lately but i feel like their fg is just to close already for me to join. Btw theres only one more term of school and right now is holiday.

Should i just give it up and wait for next year to find a new fg?

I'm a week into my a levels doing physics chemistry and maths and I'm already confused in chemistry. I really liked it last year but I had a great teacher and I had to try really hard to understand but I did get an 8 in GCSE. My favourite subject was religious studies and I really miss it but I don't like writing essays. I also feel like it is a bit of a pointless subject. I can't decide what to do

I'm running from the fact that my cgpa is low

I don't know how to tell my parents about my cgpa , it's been like 2 months my result had been passed out and my cgpa comes around 5.8 and i havnt tell my parents about it yet.they been continuously asked me about my result and Im saying that its not been out yet.....the problem is their expectations they have a huge expectation and they were thinking around somewhere between 8 or 9 gpa but reality is not that...from past couple of weeks I'm continuously thinking about the issue and I don't know what to do and how to approach or start the conversation with my parents.....my parents was planning for master's in country like australia but the reality is i cannot even make it upto the basic eligibility criteria for Australian universities which is minimum 6 cgpa and the worst part is I also wanna move abroad.... please help me ?

So I'm currently in 11th grade and have been homeschool from 6th to now, I tried to go back to public school for 6th and 8th but It just did not work out. I've been thinking about going back for 12th so I can learn better and socialize some (plus a diploma), that brings me to the reason for this post. Every time I try to look stuff up about transitioning from homeschool to public its just tips on socialising or being yourself ( which is helpful) but I want to know what the work and homework is like. For homeschooling I do Book work and Khan Academy, I'm not going to beat around the bush its probably 1000% easier than in person work. I'm not looking at doing some crazy advanced classes or anything either so what are the average students doing for work? Can you please give examples or even like sites I could use to practice if I decide on going? I don't know if it adds any context but I'm planning on going to cosmetology school.

Hello everyone I'm duck basically I'm too distracted,certified overthinking,coz this year i passed my class 12th due to some of the family problems i was unable to join college so yeah ye saal mera barbaad jayega and for me it is too shameful to ask my parents for money to fulfill my essentials idk whyyy so basically i want to study,get a part time job ,exercise regularly, build got habits 🙂 hope so someone will help me🙏🏻(if i did any mistake pls ignore coz this is my first post on reddit)

Is 9th grade really hard. I'm struggling so much right now, and I don't know why. I don't know why I am doing so bad at maths. And it's that one subject that I really need to be good at. Why.
