<p>In August, I started at a boarding school about an hour from my home. It's only for juniors and seniors. When I first got here, I adjusted way faster than I had expected. I actually started liking living away from home, and my roommate and I became best friends. However, the classes were far tougher than I had anticipated. I'll admit that I'm used to being one of the smartest people in the class, and I can't stand feeling like the stupid one. But, that's how I feel all the time here. The first quarter ended a week ago, and I got all C's and one B. I've never received a C in my life.
I've also started feeling homesick. It's weird, because I've mostly had fun living here. But, for the past couple of weeks, I've been wanting to be at home more than anything.
A couple of days ago, I was sent home with a fever. I ended up crying because I was so stressed out at the idea of missing any classes. My mom seemed really alarmed that I was so anxious about this and told me that I never got stressed like that at my old high school.
So, the idea of leaving my boarding school has gotten into my head. It's so relaxing to think of leaving this behind. But, I'm still having second thoughts. As my friends here have told me, this school will probably give me more opportunities (most graduates go to major universities). I'm also kind of sad about leaving my friends.
I feel like I should go back to my old school, but I also feel like I'll have major regrets. I just need an opinion from an objective point of view.
Thanks</p>
<p>Don’t you dare let yourself give up! You’d never forget that you walked away from this challenge. You’re just a kid, so believe me when I tell you that the experience of going from A’s to C’s in the first semester is TOTALLY NORMAL when you transition from public to boarding. BUT, you WILL start coming up to speed, learn how to work more efficiently, just get smarter all around. This maturation is incredibly important and the single biggest plus of boarding school. So, hang in there! Go Panda!</p>
<p>DO NOT LEAVE!!! if you’re only thinking about leaving because the classes are too hard then I will tellu that it is not worth it. Get some tutors and it’s ok to be stressed out. Don’t worry about your grades dropping because everyone has a time in their life when u get so stressed out that ur grades drop just keep trying and you’ll make it.</p>
