<p>You said also that you are afraid of slipping and are spiraling down. I would have a conversation with your parents and tell them exactly that and work out a farm/school plan that allows you enough time to get your studies done. School needs to be your main priority right now. It makes no sense to take the time away from the farm and do lousy at school because of the lack of focus on the school work. That is a lose - lose proposition. Even though I have never lived on a farm, I would imagine the work never ends. You could probably work 24 hour days and still find more things you could do.</p>
