<p>I've been having migrane attacks since the beginning of school. I began to fall behind in school and then I started having panic attacks because I was so stressed.
My Parents expect Straight A's from me.
I currently have:
AP Psychology- B
Agriscience 2 Honors- A
English 2 Pre-AP Gifted Honors- A
Chemistry Gifted Honors- C
German 3 Honors- A
Algebra 2 Gifted Honors- B </p>
<p>I studied really hard for my AP Psychology test and was sure I got an A. I came home today and found I got a B. I really want an A in AP Psychology so not I'm stuck at the 3.3 range and its driving me mad. Chemistry, a test I thought I at least got a B on I got a C. And its easy material! And then Algebra 2 I have a 2.5 and have this entire Chapter Test that I know I'm gonna get a C on and then drag that grade to a C too. I'm really distressed because I study hard and do every bit of my homework plus some. My Moms constantly screaming at me and I keep getting the same reaction from everyone: "I thought you were smart."</p>
<p>Its times like these I just wanna give up. Anyone have any stress relieving tips?</p>
<p>Yeah, I second the poster above me.
This is kind of a weird tangent, but there's a certain tennis player who wants to win SO BADLY, he always chokes and gets out early (in comparison to others of a similar rank). Everything is so much easier when you're carefree. Just because you have a few "non-A" grades doesn't mean you're automatically "not smart." In fact, you're very smart, as you're asking for help when you need it. But, take a deep breath, and let try not to let numbers and others bother you.
Also, try not to take it out on your hair.</p>
<p>Me too!!!!!
My grade in Alg II dropped 11 points today because I got a 59 on a test.
I didn't understand the directions and our teacher lets us make up to an 8o is you got a 60 or higher (cause she thinks if you're in the 60s you 'in the ball park') and I missed it by ONE POINT and so i can only make it up to an 70 T-T...I feel awful because it will make it way harder for me to make an 'A' in that class T-T which I blew as of Friday...when we took the test...
I didn't understand what half the questions were asking, and I had a 93 (this is no blow off class) so Its not like I didn't know anything...
ARGHHH if I had the emotion I would cry right now but I couldn't if i wanted to.
i have A's in all my other classes though...</p>
<p>I agree, you should stop worrying. But how do you stop worrying, you might ask?</p>
<p>Well, think about it this way. You have the rest of the year (or semester, for semester classes) to pull the grades up to As. After all, I'm pretty sure only final grades count toward your GPA.</p>
<p>Besides, what's the worst thing that could happen? You go to state school? You'd be in the honors system, and that's pretty awesome still. No one will ever, ever care about your high school GPA.</p>
<p>If you like Obama, it may help to know that Obama didn't get straight As. If you like McCain, it may help to know that McCain almost flunked out of college. Wait... that doesn't sound right... well, you know what I mean, though.</p>
<p>And don't hang around people that say, "I thought you were smart." Relax with friends that are, like, not jerks. RELAAAXXXXXXX.</p>
<p>What's your favorite thing to do? Something that, while you do, you don't even notice the time passing? Go do it!</p>
<p>How do you get a B in psychology.. lol. Just kidding, you really just need to relax that is the most important thing. When I get frustrated I can't learn as well and something similar is prolly happening for you.</p>
<p>Sometimes everything just catches up to me...being the president of 2 clubs, part of 3 others with school and work on top... I'll freak out...</p>
<p>There's a point at which I have to limit myself...like refusing let myself study the periods right before I take a test, or making sure I have time to practice dance or do yoga for at least 15 minutes a day.</p>
<p>relaxing is do-able...you just need to find what works for you :)</p>
<p>Seriously, calm down. I stressed my freshman, sophomore, and junior year (still not as hard as my senior year schedule) and didn't do so well. Now I'm in six AP classes but don't care and I have straight A's <_<</p>
<p>Thank You everyone, I feel kinda stupid now for freaking out T__T</p>
<p>And yus, my school is a Mega-Magnet. So they take one of our electives away and replace it with that Magnet or 'Academy' Class. Its actually pretty cool, since they count as Science Classes.</p>
