Schools fail to help kids to socialize and for many that creates lots of stress. It's not normal to be around 20 or 30 persons in a classroom and not giving them the chance to interact w each other. That creates a disconnection that generates distrust and fear of others. Workshop based on interactive activities are needed to help kids to learn good COMMUNICATION skills.

[@quinsomnia4934]

I once had massive social issues, and even went non-verbal for a while because during a 'transitional' age, when most people know how to communicate properly, I never learned how to interact with people. School thought I was clever because I was quiet, and never picked up on, or cared how I was struggling.

[@lalalana6444]

I agree that having good grades adds to stress. I have developed what can only be called an obsession with my English grade. I have had all 100s since the beginning of the year, and every time there is something to turn in for a grade I have a panic attack. This mostly stems from the fact that I want to establish a career as an author. I love my English class, but it stresses me out because it makes me feel like I _have_ to be the best. I can’t help but think that everything would be different if my first English grade had been even slightly lower than 100.

[@gothtwink]

I feel exactly the same in regards to my English grade.

[@pinklillyflower4387]

So true!

[@jrbontje2415]

It won’t matter in the real world. Let that stress go. Look up john taylor gatto on KZbin for the history of why schools were created. Striving to please these people is pointless and won’t help you in the real world. Schools are frustrating and hard because they are designed to brainwash you to be obedient and jump through hoops for authority figures. They aren’t for educating you or bettering your life. Take it from someone who was an overachiever who has been out of school for a long time now. It won’t matter later. What will matter is your ability to educate yourself when you’re done with school and your ability to unlearn all the lies you’ve been taught and truly educate yourself.

i’m a freshman in college and i have had this struggle ever since i was in high school. sometimes i feel like school isn’t about learning anymore and more about just passing and getting good grades. we shouldn’t let school consume our lives. we should set boundaries so it doesn’t give us so much stress.

[@abw3841]

It’s hard because I try hard to get the very best on everything, and that becomes my best. My best isn’t my personal best, but the grade that I’m given. For one of my classes, we had to draw an entire world map by hand, and I lost sleep and energy and had so much stress over it, and I got a c, while people that didn’t do as well as I did got a’s and b’s. I was so sad for the rest of the day and couldn’t think straight. I am a person that is surrounded by people telling me that grades are the most important thing and that I need good grades in order to achieve greatness. I don’t know how true that is, but st this point, it just doesn’t seem worth it anymore. I want to be a happy kid, but I can’t anymore.

Education doesn't have to be a miserable experience as it is with most standard schools. Look into Self-Directed Education. And the idea that an impoverished kid in another country would love to take your place as a student in school, doesn't make your plight any less unacceptable. Also western compulsory education isn't exactly the beacon of hope you make it out to be. Watch the film: Schooling the World.

[@shipedits8847]

I’m a freshman in high school, and I can’t take it anymore. I go on social media and see all these kids my age becoming famous and not having to do anything but “make tiktoks” or “make KZbin videos”, but then I get back to my terrible life and realize that I have to go to school, and deal with all this bs. My father died 2 months ago, and I’ve been taking it pretty hard, but my school could care less about what I’m going through. School is very inconvenient right now to be honest, I just truly do not want to go anymore. And yes, I know some people in other parts of the world would kill to be educated, but sadly I am just not one of those people who want to learn. I just want to travel the world and get a decent paying job, at somewhere where I can work the night shift. People say that’s not a good life to live, but I don’t care. That’s how I want to live. I don’t want to go to college, I don’t want to finish high school. And I do not want to go through what I’m going through any longer. I have had it up to my breaking point with school. There is no hope for me, and there is no hope that I will get my happiness back. It is 5:00am right now and I still have not gone to sleep. I have to wake up at 6:00am. So there is really no point in going to sleep. I guess this is just going to be yet another sleepless night. I go to one of the worst schools in my town, and the people there are just so horrible, they are all so mean and cruel to each other, I do not want to go there anymore. I do not want to continue this vicious cycle that we call life. I just cannot take it anymore. Please, if anyone feels the way I do, please reply to me, and tell me your story, I would love to hear🖤

Alright, as a freshman, I just wanted to say that I’m in a rut right now. I’ve been in high school for exactly 6 full days, and I’m already looking at 2 hours of homework every night. As someone that has never gotten lower than a 92 on a report card (and doesn’t plan on it), I breakdown when the most minuscule things happen in class, and I think it’s taking me apart. I used to go to school excited to learn new things and develop my skills in different classes, but now it just feels like pure stress, and I’m scared that if I let the stress get to me I won’t get good grades anymore, and what does that mean for my future?? My father was the first person in his family to go to college, and I want to continue the pattern, so how do I do that without the little stresses of excess homework, no free time, and loss of motivation restraining me?? I don’t know what to do with my life anymore.

[@casafuentes5586]

Im a sophomore in high school i can completely relate to your situation. My grandfather went from living in a squatter home to becoming a major figure in the agricultural industry. He was able to give my dad the resources to go to a good college and he ended up going to UC Berkeley even though he went to a high school in a small Poor agricultural town. Now as I’m getting into high school I want to continue the progression of growth that my Family has had so I want to achieve even more than what my dad was able to accomplish. Freshman year I took the hardest classes offered that year and I was able to manage getting good grades which made my parents very proud, however, this ambition to take the hardest classes would be much more than I expected come sophomore year. Again I chose a very difficult and homework heavy class schedule. I was able to get through the first semester with a 4.5 GPA which made my parents very proud but as a I looked back on what I accomplished I felt nothing, I felt like I had accomplished nothing and I just met the expectations that I set for myself. I looked back on the memorable moments of my first semester and o could think of almost nothing. I was always rushed all the time to get my homework done that I was unable to just enjoy life and this rushed and stressed lifestyle made it difficult for me to maintain healthy relationships and make new friends. I feel like my parents think that i am going to be super successful in life and they are now thinking about college programs for me and other things like that but I’m afraid I won’t meet the standard that they believe I can meet. Now I’m in my second semester and I was afraid I was going to feel the emptiness and loneliness I felt the first so I tried to be more calm and not be so stressed but that has only caused more stress as I’ve been struggling to finish my homework on time. I’ve had constant breakdowns telling myself that I’m going to be a failure if I don’t get good grades and although my parents have supported me when I feel the most down I’m afraid I have to go through that same cycle of stress and emptiness when I have to start the school week again . I’m not sure what I’m gonna do since the school year is about to end but I don’t want to continue suffering and I just want to enjoy life. I just realized you wrote this comment thee years ago so I hope you were able to overcome your situation.

Especially in this pandemic, I've been very stressed about assignments, and with my social anxiety, I can't ask for help. I've been lacking the will to do anything. And since online schooling, I've been very tired for some odd reason. I've been out of it for the past couple months, and I've been pretty sad, despite the fact I have a great family, and have lots of things that should make me happy. I've also lost many friends. I was thinking of dropping out, but my parents would be very disappointed in me. I always just want to give up. And I do give up. Then I think of all the negative things my parents would say about me. Then I try to do all the assignments I gave up on, just to make my parents proud. I tried to tell them how I feel and I can't. I keep all my emotions bottled up inside of me. The only chance I get to vent is in the comments since they can't judge me in anyway except my story.

Usually I get like three months of summer vacation but instead, this year my Mom made me take two summer classes so basically I had just one month of summer vacation. I feel like summer this year went by TOO fast

I'm a teacher myself and i teach for teenagers between 12-16 , we'll discuss something related to teenage daily before going into the subject, i can't do much about their problems but I'll just listen and i have no clue what to do. I need your opinion (only teen agers please ) 1. about what do you expect a teacher to be in your life. 2. How do you expect them to treat you. 3. How does a teacher impact your life.

U know I love how when I go back to school I’ll have like 5 minutes to interact with my family before I go to school

[@vogue_paris3106]

I'm a freshman, and I'm an overachiever. By far, my marks lately haven't been very high, and I'm on the brink of collapsing. I'm so tired high school has me burnt out. I want to graduate, but I also want to drop out. I don't actually want to drop out, but I have so many passions. I just don't know what exactly I want to do with my life. I can't take this anymore it's so depressing.

[@alchemists4443]

Why can’t they just let kids be kids?? After school we should be socializing, hanging out with friends, practicing hobbies, experiencing the world! But we are stuck sitting at our desks all night doing endless pages of homework. That’s a major flaw in the system. Homework should only be assigned if it was actually school work that was failed to be completed in class, and if the student had enough time in general to complete it in class. Homework should not be assigned in heaps and piles because it is detrimental to student’s mental health. High stress, depression, and anxiety often are products of school. Student’s simply don’t have the time to do any self work or self reflection, nor time to process emotions properly because of the demand on time that school has on them. On average, a school day does not end. The student wakes up, goes to school and studies/learns/does work, and then gets home and studies/learns/does work. It’s a draining cycle that doesn’t end. Please. Let kids be kids. Let us enjoy our lives instead of miserably spending all of it on school work. Let us learn about the world and socialize after we spent a long day at school. Let us have time to process our emotions and do self work.

The stress and anxiety I get from school is even worse now that I’m turning 16 in 6 days so now I’m going to have to juggle school a job homework and fitness

[@armitahosseini8683]

I recently moved to an entirely different city and am attending a new school from the second semester. I’ve only gone a few days so far but can’t seem to make any friends, because everyone else already has their tight knit friend groups. To me, it’s not so much the classes that make me dread school, it’s just how disconnected I feel from the whole school. When you have lots of school work, you often have your friends by your side and you help each other get through, but I have nobody at the moment, so I feel extremely lost and unmotivated. I dread French class because I don’t get most of the stuff my teacher says, and there’s no one who can help me because the people in my table all only communicate together and it makes sitting with them feel like dead weight. I honestly think I won’t be making friends anytime soon😭

[@urviramchandani795]

I feel you, girl. Even in my college, it feels like no one from my class is emotionally connecting with me. They are helpful, but no one involves me in their groups. You won't believe it when I say that almost the entire class hung out somewhere and I wasn't even told about it. It hurts to be an outcast in one's class but I think we just have to accept it. After all, we can't just go around asking for validation and connection. But I have a few senior friends, and it's lovely to have them in my life. I am very grateful for that. I was just pointing things out from my class. I am very well satisfied emotionally now, but I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone and that if I can get through this, there's hope for you too. Sending love.

Aww :( I can be your friend !

Last year I loved school so much then in September I still loved school new year I didn't love homework but I didn't stress then God was like it's time for you to go trough some hard time and I cry everyday I have everything mom and dad sister brother but I cry even tough I get good grades I put pressure for no reason I have to try to not cry in school and keep it inside cus it's not a good impression to my friends

[@Alexandra_Pall]

I know I am smart and I know I can do it. I tend to have sharp thinking, great intuition and I don't give up easily. One thing I'm truly terrible at is school. I have a few subjects that I like: Biology, English, Psychology, but in the end I still have to study the other subjects as well. And I can't learn something I truly find interesting: about criminals, detective work etc.

[@jujujujuju]

Teachers in my school compares us because others complain about how hard it is to go to school when you have only few hours to sleep. They say that they do their lesson plans and etc then sleep for like 3-4 hours when we 'students' sleep for 1-2 hours because of the assignments, projects, reports and other school works. The other teachers would give their works to me because of how tired they are they say. Im always checking my classmates's homeworks, seatworks and quizzes and I can't complain because it is no help to argue with them. Im also the one who is assigned for putting some of my classmates grade on the class card. Im a student but I felt like im more of a teacher.

[@lennahc_yracs_a_ton_si_sih1196]

Im 14 years old, not embarrassed to say that, i think about school and sometimes even think about bad stuff, very bad stuff. Its because i dont know and i cant do those difficult tasks they request us to do..

I hate how people keep up this thing where if you aren’t having the worst thing happen to you then your problems aren’t important. Just because I’m not a starving kid in Africa doesn’t mean that me having a crippling fear of passing my tests in school so that my parents will let me keep the things that I have fun with isn’t a problem.

[@luckypup717]

The better grades you get the more your parents push you, I’m a a student but how do you get better than that? And I really stress over group projects because most kids in my class doesn’t even try. Usually I get stuck with someone that doesn’t do anything and I have to do the project all by myself! Why!

I’m not getting the hang of chemistry. My teacher gets annoyed of explaining things and refuses to reply back to emails about assignments. School gives me anxiety about my future. I’m just so tired.

[@jupiterx5166]

Me too im struggling with that class so muchh. My chem teacher left halfway through the school year because of health reasons and our substitute teacher just gives work, like no teaching at all. So we’re getting all this work we dont even understand and she gets mad when majority of the class doesn’t turn it in:/ and its a lot of work too its overwhelming. Im scared I wont get accepted to any college

I have almost drop out of secondary school, because of homeworks and my parents pressuring me to get good grades since I've come to Spain and Ireland I am originally from the Philippines

[@mortaldog1746]

The real problem about the school is that they dont teach us how to learn they teach us how to memorize and got good grades. I'm not a bad student cause I learned how to be still intersted in new knowledge, but all I found its a not improving education system that is making my partners getting a nonsense information overload.
