<p>When you're sad,EAT SOME ICECREAM.</p>
<p>well...i screwed up my junior yr w/bunch of B's. ****</p>
<p>honestly, i kinda feel like giving up...lol i can't believe i'm sayin this on CC. but yeah, at this point, i just want HS to be over with</p>
<p>A bunch of B's? That's not bad at all.
That's actually really good.</p>
<p>lol. B's are not bad? haha i really hope some of those elite schools think that.
a lot of the students this yr got screwed over by AP chem. most got C's and high C's i think...feel bad for 'em</p>
<p>Eh, I didn't study for the SAT until April of this year. I did fine on it.</p>
<p>I can't say I'm stressed at all... but then I didn't study for the SAT at all other than looking over the directions and am one of the only people in my grade who didn't bother with at least one tutor.</p>
<p>I'm not going to ruin high school so I can get into college. I'm just making the most of these four years of my life.</p>

I think you and I are the same.</p>
<p>Im pretty sure that kids are just babies..depression is at an all time high because kids can no longer cope because theyre guaraded and nurtured their entire lives and dont ever experience anything real. college is something to be excited about, not something to cause anxiety, stress, depression, etc.</p>
<p>Yea, I feel really overwhelmed. This is why I feel i'm being drawn into Buddhism. I meditate more now, and I'm taking on the college application process with detachment. I don't expect anything from this. Also, I'm in the present moment, I don't waste energy worrying about my future, I move towards my goals now. It's helped me relax, but, since I'm human, I'm still stressed.</p>
<p>^ You should try yoga and the chanting and stuff. It's wonderful.</p>
<p>I do. A lot of troubles coming toward me every single day.</p>
<p>For me... I'm freaking out! I'm so upset with so many people. </p>
<p>I have been trying to sign up with my online college courses since May! The college has had everything and they lost the letter my school sent them about courses. They've never called my counselor back after months of her calling them and I've had to call them to get anything done! Their courses start the 15th and I've not been registered nor have textbooks even been ordered!</p>
<p>Today I got a welcome e-mail to a course I don't have with another provider because someone "accidentally" signed me up for... without talking to me or the counselor! They now have to drop me!</p>
<p>I have 3 free periods---almost 4 hours in "online classes" when online classes don't start until the 15th and the 25th! Everyone just talks and runs around the room so you can't get anything done... I was attacked with tape today and people kept stealing my calculus book. Oh... and my school says I must show up for this "study hall." Who needs 4 hours of study hall for 1 course that doesn't even give homework yet? That one course is English II honors and I'm in with the bad behavior/less intelligent students because I couldn't fit it in 2nd semester when the higher level students are taking it. I'm tired of their crap. </p>
<p>I had to help the other students work their online classes when most don't care and the teacher screwed up in making the online course. I don't think any of my materials have been ordered for my AP Physics B courses either. All of our school's rules have changed and now we're pretty much a prison. Late to school 4 times in the entire year? ISS, possibly OSS. </p>
<p>As for non-academic... my first case in teen court couldn't care less and my parents are so mad about having to drive me anywhere. I don't find most of the things I used to fine interesting and my parents have all these problems... my dad said today how hard it was for him to remember to call his mom to remember her medicine at 9pm... he doesn't have a job and he doesn't do anything else... how hard can that be? The sad thing is it's true. </p>
<p>Why is it that the hardest things in life are never the thing itself... The hardest part about school is never the classes, the hardest part about living is not living or doing what you're supposed to... it's dealing with other people. <em>sigh</em> I'll be so happy when I have all my classes, all my textbooks, and I'll my materials. Then I have to worry about signing up for the SAT, SAT II's, the PSAT and applying to the state magnet... but none of that will be as hard.</p>
<p>I'm still looking for a college summer program... there's one that keeps flip-flopping between telling me I'm eligible and that I'm not. I'm looking at my 11th program about now.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure I should now be classified as an insomniac, thanks to college applications.</p>
<p>I've stayed up until about four in the morning for the past week, sine I seriously started my applications. If I lie in bed, I can't sleep, and I just think about colleges, so I'd rather sit my butt down and do it now. Heck, I guess it's kind of good, because I'll be done with this, and everyone else will still be working their tails off come christmas break. And I'll be chillin'</p>
<p>but now right now... lol. This can't be healthy.</p>
<p>Thank you colleges, for making this such a stressful time in our lives.</p>
<p>Yes, but more because I have very little idea about what to do then because I have so much stuff going on.</p>
<p>I'm rather shooting for working my brain/body/mind/hand/watever else off (:D) during that break...hehe..i'm kind of a procrastinator...but i'm not quite procrastinating..since i'll finish my tests..and make sure i've good contents to feel confident enough...RDs all the way (maybe just one EA..well, duh, u can just do one EA anyway! lol.)</p>

<p>It's attitudes like that that make it hard for those of us who really do have depression to get help. People don't understand so they call us babies and put us down and teens are very reluctant to seek help because of the stigma. So thank you for contributing to that. </p>
<p>Oh and just so you know, I've never been guarded and nurtured. I've seen things you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy. That's real. It's real to see your friends kill themselves in front of you. It's real to see friends OD. It's real to see your parents deal drugs and your dad not remember you after an accident. But, I guess I'm just a baby for needing help for seeing that. </p>
<p>I know what you mean. Most kids are whiners. Yeah, but there are some of us who really need help and it is attitudes like that that keep us from getting that help. We think we can solve everything ourselves, and we can't. And then people who can never understand what a truly depressed life is like feel the need to put others down because they don't understand. </p>
<p>I wish you could go through a day as a truly depressed person. Realize how hard it is to get out of bed, realize how hard it is to get ready, realize how hard it is to try to let others into your world because you can't open up your mind to allow it to escape from the dark place it's in and open up to others because you're afraid that they'll criticize you or call you a baby. </p>

<p>I felt really overwhelmed in the spring and I've no idea why. It was a combination of a bunch of things, most likely all the tests and projects the teachers threw at us at the end of the year. I was working on little sleep and I tend to worry a lot. So I worried about everything, from my friends (who just happened to be absent a lot this year) to my sister (who gets the worst coughs in the spring) to school. That made me angry, so I took it out on my family. Then summer came and things got...ah...easier. I have a feeling they'll return to the same way once winter starts up. </p>
<p>As for college, I'm going to be a Junior, so I'm nervous, but the idea of leaving home and pursuing something I'm passionate about is exciting to me. I just don't think I'm good enough to get into some of the colleges I'm thinking of applying to. My friend, however, gets anxiety over not the application process, but the thought of leaving home and of us going to different colleges. That makes me sad because I have no idea how to comfort her, because I don't feel the same way. I want to go, in some cases far away. She doesn't want to. </p>
<p>All in all, it's not so bad. I've never really felt depressed because of being overwhelmed, just sad in some cases and very frustrated in others. When that happens, I just need time alone and away from everyone (I've stayed after school for no reason to do that). Hopefully Junior year isn't as terrible as some people say.</p>
<p>stress is interminable
it'll be your best friend=]
just learn how to not go insane and develop psychological disorders
smell the flowers</p>
<p>^ Don't follow EatBreathMeth's advice.</p>

it keeps piling up
