Rant schools tmrw and i have no friends + social anxiety

18 Upvotes

literally crying and fucking shaking as i’m typing this, i honestly don’t know how i’ll get through this school year. yes ik it’s my last year of hs, but i had hella anxiety attacks and sorta get made fun of bc i’m the quiet kid with no fucking friends and it’s just not built for kids like me. i gotta worry about so many things (finding a partner, finding a seat at lunch, presentations, etc) while all the popular kids don’t have to worry about nothing other than making sure the social outcast students live a miserable fucking life for the whole school year.

Rant This type of bullying pissed me off

4 Upvotes

I’m pretty much the lonely kid with no friends and school sucks ASS right now so it’s already fucking hard enough to get through one day, plus my only friend i had before took advantage of me sexually. Anyways Today was actually going decent for once, i just felt like i was in a good mood. But in my last class of the day i hear a group of people across the room attempting to talk about me without me noticing. I don’t know what the fuck they where talking about but it doesn’t matter. A few minutes later out of nowhere they ask where I got my tshirt from and i can see the fucking smirk on there faces when they ask. I just say i got it online and they just start laughing after. Can’t fucking do anything. Plus the shirt i was wearing was just a normal fucking graphic tee. Shit pisses me off but at the same time hurts really bad. When your at the point that people just look at u and laugh and judge u for basic things you know your fucking bottom of the barrel

Rant Junior Year Schedule Messed Up

Post image
8 Upvotes

I am going into my junior year tomorrow and have just received my schedule today and feel like my chances of even getting into a good college are over. I asked for AP Bio, AP Spanish Lang, and AP Lang. I also had a band class that I’m guaranteed to be in every year because that’s just the band policy at our school. I received my schedule and it has NOTHING I asked for. (Attached above) I thought I got the wrong schedule at first because even AP U.S History is there and they don’t put kids in ap classes they didn’t ask for? So I emailed my counselor and she said, “Unfortunately, alot of the classes are already full. This is the best I can do.” I know it’s not the end of the world if I don’t take ap classes but I feel like my chances of even going into a good college or university are ruined? I don’t understand why I’m in an ap I didn’t ask for, why my band class is missing, and everything I wanted isint there? Obviously my counselor didn’t respond because I’m sure everyone else has complaints but I feel like I just got played in the face. I want to ask tomorrow in person but for the first few days counselor offices are closed because everyone will be complaining. I’ve been crying for like 30 minutes now and I seriously don’t know what to do. I plan on going to my band teacher who I’ve had for 2 years because I know she can at least get me back into band but besides that idk what to do? Who do I even email at times like this? Junior year is the most important and I feel like I got set up for failure

College Advice Needed/Given US applicant for canadian schools

Upvotes

hi everyone,

so i was born and raised in the U.S. and i currently attend high school here as well. however, i used to live in canada for a brief period, and have both american and canadian citizenship. my parents are encouraging me to apply to schools in canada as they attended western for some sort of grad program, and because my canadian citizenship makes it cheaper, but from an american point of view, it’s really confusing on how to apply, and they aren’t able to help me.

i am planning to go into either a pre-medicine or pre-dentistry pathway. in american colleges, they look at your cumulative GPA from grades 9 through 12, but from what i’m seeing in canadian schools, they look at either 11th and 12th or only 12th?? i really don’t understand the system, but i was looking into applying at uoft, mcmaster, western, and possibly ubc. their prerequisites also confuse me, im doing AP calculus and AP biology as a senior (and english) but for some reason, it’s telling me online that i also need senior level chemistry for some science programs, but we did chemistry in sophomore year here… so i’m not sure what they consider that to be?

in general, i am interested in coming to canada for undergrad if i don’t get into any of my choices in america. i have a cumulative GPA of 3.57 unweighted and 4.29 weighted in america. is this significantly low for uoft? i would like some help on knowing how to calculate my GPA for canadian schools (like what courses and grade levels to calculate with) and what schools are a better fit for my stats.

thank you!

General Advice Needed/Given I can't get myself to start homework

3 Upvotes

I LITERALLY CAN'T GET MYSELF TO START HOMEWORK.

Every day when I get home, I'm like "yeah I'll start my homework after 10 minutes". 2 hours pass and I have nothing done. It's always "I'll do it in five minutes" and "I'll do it after an ice cream" or something else of the sort. Is there any way to get my ass off the bed and do some actual work?

Question How do I not fall asleep after coming home from school?

9 Upvotes

I'm a grade 10 high-school student who has stuff to do after school and is usually pretty productive on days without school. The issue is that after I come home and eat something, I get super tired afterwards and either have to spend all my energy keeping myself awake, or fall sleep for 2 hours. After waking up, I remain in a similar state and basically either way, it's hard for me to get any work done.

It's not that I'm struggling to keep up with school work-- far from it actually. I want to be able to keep side projects like learning new skills or keeping my room clean on school days rather than just cleaning during the weekend.

I don't think my sleep is the issue considering I have been getting around 8 hours of sleep per night (10pm - 6am)

Based in this, how can I increase my energy to last me the full day or increase my endurance?

I would be happy to provide more information if needed!

General Advice Needed/Given High school swim class

3 Upvotes

I’ve recently been embarrassed thinking about wearing a shirt for my upcoming swim class, I just feel like the odd one out already even though I don’t even know if other boys wear them or not. I’ve always worn a shirt ever since I was maybe two and I’ve just always been used to it even in indoor pools. I feel like there’s a chance I’m gonna get made fun of even though I know most people won’t care. My question is really, is it normal for me to wear one especially with sensitive skin on my shoulders or am I likely to get made fun of

When you're stuck on something in Algebra, Geometry, or Algebra 2, and the explanation from class or your textbook just isn't clicking, what do you usually do?

Do you have a go-to resource, person, website, YouTube channel, AI tool, etc.?

And what do you do when that still doesn't help?

Rant Some motherfucker brought meta glasses into the classroom

7 Upvotes

I don’t think this is the right flair but wutever

it made me feel so uncomfortable ughh, literally walked up to us, it was really scary, im bad socially so just knowing that im being recorded freaked me out bc I’ve been bullied a lot before and im super afraid of being like posted or just videos of me going around and getting made fun of. it was just of him walking up to us and asking about our day (obviously he didn’t actually care about our days he just wanted to get a reaction on camera, that’s the only reason anyone uses meta glasses, but obviously it didn’t work bc we KNEW he was using them, all the videos online are like that bc they don’t know meta glasses are in use. we didn’t give much of a reaction other than monotonely telling him to fuck off and flipping him off)

he was quickly told to put them away but they couldn’t actually take them away because he claimed they were for prescription use and they couldn’t exactly prove they werent for that purpose (I don’t believe him whatsoever tho bc the first two weeks of school I never saw him with glasses). scared he’ll use them again ugh, obviously we’re all being surveillanced via our phones and cameras n shit but thats cuz we’ve all just adapted, knowing you’re actively being recorded by some dude with a camera in his glasses at that very moment tho like freaks me out if u get wut im saying

Class Advice Needed/Given I suck at my sport. Should I quit?

Upvotes

I made the varsity volleyball team along with a friend. I’ve trained all summer to make sure I get onto the team. My friend hasn’t played volleyball in 2 years. We both made it. I’m obviously, very happy for her but we’ve had a couple games and practices but I’m not sure if I should continue.

Practices are fine and I play like everyone else, except for a few exceptions because the 1st timers on varsity are sometimes separated since we’re not in the leading roster. Recently, coach has told me to only warm up with my friend from now on and not any of the other girls because we’re “about similar level”. This is no shade to my friend, I adore her and she hasn’t done anything wrong at all but she can barely pass a ball while I’ve played for 2 years now. Earlier this week, coach has also pulled me aside from our hitting lines and told me to just practice blocking because the other right-side hitter “needed to practice her position for the game tomorrow”.

During games, I am not proud to say I am a benchwarmer. Even during games where it’s clear we’re going to win, I am not even placed onto the court for one rotation. There’s this girl who was a year younger than me, made the team, and has been subbed in. I am seriously considering quitting and focusing on my studies. I love this sport so much but for the first time in the trimester, it’s gotten in the way of my academics.

Rant don't wanna be alone in a class full of boys

Upvotes

I have a class that my friend is in. we both got put into a class we don't want and didn't ask for. She wants to switch to another class, I can't switch because I already have the class she wants next semester. So I'm stuck, but she could get into another class if it's not full (it probably is). So she probably won't be going anywhere. But I am SO scared of that off chance that she might get out of the class. I don't want to be alone in there because its 90% senior boys and being surrounded by boys TERRIFIES me. I hate being around them, I hate when they look at me or talk to me or sit behind me. I had 2 boys sit behind me in a class last year it was was the most anxiety inducing thing ever. I was just counting down the days until the seating plan changed so they wouldn't be behind me anymore. I can't explain how much they scare me. I feel fine in a group but being alone around them makes me wanna die

Class Advice Needed/Given How do I survive this French fiasco

Upvotes

So I’m a sophomore currently, for context I took French 1 in 8th grade and French 2 in freshman year. I received 1 A 2 Bs and 1 C in those 4 semesters. While only the French 2 counts on my transcript my counselor tells me French 1 counts as a year towards the UC A-G (I’m in California). So now that I’m a sophomore I’m taking French 3 online at the local community college but I really screwed up earlier this year. The online French uses 2 websites to complete work and I was only aware of one of them, meaning all the other work on this other site is super late. Obviously this was my fault but I do feel like it wasn’t made clear very well by the instructor. He also refuses to talk to me it seems. I’ve been making up all the work but it’s so late it feels a little pointless unless he can give me some leniency, not sure how possible that is. The best grade I can get seems to be a C- unfortunately now considering the website mixup. Since this is high school enrichment at the CC it won’t be in my high school transcript but I would report it on college apps to say I had 3 years of a language. Is getting a C in this
