⚠️⚠️DANGER!!! TW!!!⚠️⚠️Hi! Went to a catholic secondary school for one year as an openly gay person and (at that point in time) undiagnosed AUDHD person, within 3 months of going there I had an $H addiction and ended up in the ER multiple times because of $u!c!d3 attempts

Lacey :

No matter how bad I did in high school, 95% of my teachers LOVED me. The Band Director could shove it.....Mr. I'll Ignore A 504!

Anysia :

yes yeah dog...I have kitten!! also theater. I have so far loved loved loved my first year of High-school!! I'm so excited for sophomore year.

Ashleigh M :

So, I love school and love learning. I was also bullied a lot by both students and 3 staff members. Made fun of my weight and struggling in there classes. (All 3 of those teachers also had my mom when she went through school). Despite all that I had those classes that I absolutely loved and 1 specific teacher that helped me soo much!

Nia :

As far as I heard this first one might be hard in the US due to cultural diffrences: 1. you're grades aren't everything! Find a balance and joy outside of school. Look for things to do where your head isn't constantly thinking about it. You will need those breaks. 2. get yourself learning buddies and help each other out. 3. pay attention to the little things the teacher repeats over and over again- they might become important in tests etc. 4. find ways to explain things in a way you can understand it. Use the refrences of things in your own life. That's how they stick with you the best.

Niffty the Gremlin :

yeah my brother died- that was a pretty bad experience

Girl I was a high school freshman fall 2020 I am EXTREMELY messed up from that. But hey, learned that remote learning was the way to go all 4 years of h.s and honestly, can’t complain. But that said, I always wonder what would’ve happened if I had a normal h.s experience 🤷🏼‍♀️

Amanda ❤️❤️🏳️‍🌈🫶🏻🫶🏻 :

I’m glad I graduated, 95% of it suck

Samantha Lee :

Thank you!! This gives me talking points with my bonus son without being preachy or to quote his mother “overstepping “

Abi :

I had a miserable time as a sophomore and my mom was over it, and me, and said I had a week to find a way to quit thinking about myself all the time, or she would find something for me. I joined the VISTA Volunteers tutoring elementary kids in reading. The best advice ever because I became an elementary school teacher 🥰🥰

Oh and two other very important things: 1. find the challenge. find the game. find the fun. It will be even in the hard stuff. Find the point, where YOU can resonate with it. And that doesn't always have to make sense to anyone else. 2. And yes- as someone in their mid- twenties, I see how this can be very hard especially as a teenager: I think you americans use the saying "choose your battles" here. Not every fight is yours. And even out of the ones that are yours to fight: Not every battle is yours right now. Or needs your attention all the time. Not every trend is good or the right one for you. You don't have to do or be everything for everyone. And sometimes beeing smart also needs to know when it's time to let go and move on. Or to also know what fight really is worth the energy. Or what is the most important stuff I need to do know. 3. If it's all to much and looks like one giant, neverending mountain of To- Do's: rember frozen 2 and just think of "the next right thing" as in: Just look at the next step: what is the thing I can and will do next. Not 5 10, 20 steps ahead. Just the next one. Really as in: "okay I'm gonna move my body out of that chair." And pssst: for the sake of your mind: sometimes it might be better not to think too much about what you're doing here and why at all.
