<p>Terrified of junior year and the choices I'm making. I don't even know what school I want to go to. I don't know if I'll go to community college first and then to a university or just go to a university right after school.
So WHY am I taking these hard classes? Why is it that I've pushed myself for two years taking rigorous classes and making grades for what might be for nothing? If I go to community college then what was the whole point of stressing over studying and grades in high school?
I would miss family events, Mother's & Father's Day, my mom's birthday dinner, and even ignore my own birthday just because I was buried with all this school work and studying.
I would see my peers who didn't take all these hard classes. Their lives seemed to be so in control and laid back. I would see friends who would come back from a weekend on a mini vacation. Which is something my family and I could do but because I'm busy all the time we can't. (Where we live you could go anywhere from a driving distance that's nice)</p>
<p>I feel like if I don't take harder classes then I'm just not trying enough, that I won't get accepted to many colleges, that I'll regret everything I did in high school when I'm older. But at the same time I don't want to remember my teenage years being isolated. </p>
<p>P.S sorry for making this my like what, third? venting thread. I come on here when I'm freaking out about school lol </p>
<p>I’m sorry, but are you doing any other activities, or is this just about schoolwork? I don’t think that taking a few hard classes should stress you out and occupy you to the point where you literally can’t ever take a weekend off or do something fun. I can’t fathom how just school could cause you to miss your own birthday. That is absolutely not reasonable. Clearly, either you’re exaggerating, or you need to work on your time management skills, or you have a learning disability or something. If you’re stressed out to that point, then that probably means you aren’t cut out for the amount of rigor you have in your schedule.</p>

I play one sport.
I don’t have a learning disability, but I’m a really slow learner
Also I am one of those students who have to study extra and go into tutoring. So if I have a big test Tuesday I would have to spend the whole weekend studying for it. I get distracted easily too which is why I have bad time management. </p>
<p>And when I meant that I ignored my birthday, I didn’t actually mean I forgot it was my birthday. I just didn’t care too much about it, nor went out to celebrate</p>
<p>What do you think is the purpose of taking difficult classes?</p>
<p>Who misses his mom’s birthday dinner to study in high school lmao. It’s called making up an hour (max) by sleeping later. Unless you’re failing or something…</p>
<p>Forget this thread. I’d rather go to talk to my counselor than get help from here. </p>
