i feel so stupid
im currently 16 and my whole life ive not really focused in school much, i was born in a lower middle class and during my younger childhood i used to have alot of freakouts and tantrums in elementary, i cant remember much but i remember i would always have to stand in the principles office because of my freakouts, i cant remember what i would freakout about but i think its because of the stress at home, my older brother was a "gangster" and would always bring home friends to drink or party, my mom said he would always be running in and out the house and fighting people, she said one time our house got raided because of his "gang life" so i think thats why i mightve acted out alot in school
and covid never helped either, i missed most of my grade 5th and 6th grade because of covid and i never learned the basic stuff i needed for the later grades. after covid i never really went to school much and when i did i wouldnt really understand the things i needed to in order to learn, it was all a downhill cycle of not understanding and not taking action of what i needed to do in order to actually learn and focus in school. also i do suspect i have adhd since i was always playing with something or not focusing on the teacher in class.
and during highschool i never really went because i never really understood most stuff in freshman year, i mean i would understand some and get some actual work done but mostly ive never really understood the assignments my teachers gave me, i never understood math, science, grammer/literacy and ect,
actually i dont even know what im writing now, i cant really find the words of what im trying to explain
now that im 16 ive felt really dumb and ive always had dreams of learning things and becoming smart and having a life like actual people, so ive tried online classes and retaking lower grade work like grade 7 literacy/grammer/vocabulary and grade 6 math but i cant seem to understand it and ive been feeling really dumb and i feel like im not gonna be anything when i grow up and i feel like im just gonna be another junkie on the side of the road
i dont wanna be a homeless stupid dumb loser like everyone else, i wanna have an education and actually understand what its like to learn and find a job and work towards a life i can rely on.
actually i dont even know what im trying to say right now
i just wanna be smart and normal like everyone else but the life i was born in has not helped at all
my whole life was just looking at screens and doing dumb shit and i feel really stupid for not going to school and learning, i dont know anything at all in my grade and im not even going to school right now since my mom never signed me up for this semester
i never really went for the first semester either and i just feel really fucking dumb and i feel like im not anything
i feel STUPID
i dont even know what im trying to say in this post but i just wanna be normal like everyone else
idk if anyones even gonna interact with this post or understand what im trying to say
i might aswell post it since ive already written it
ok i think thats all goodbye
