I have had three bad days straight.
To be honest, I hardly EVER have bad days, so this is rare for me. What I find even worse is that my year hasn’t started off very well because of these bad days. After my first bad day I told myself “tomorrow I’ll have a great day!” Boy was I wrong…
One of the biggest contributers to my bad days is my anxiety. I have struggled with anxiety for probably all of my life. In the past year, it started getting better. I had better time management, and also did exercises to relieve my anxiousness. I clearly need to start do those things that helped again and more often! My anxiety is mostly school related. When I am given a deadline to do something, I always meet it, but sometimes I feel the need to do things early in the week. So I guess I’m not a procrastinator, which is great, but because of this I always put a lot of pressure on myself to get things done early. I am taking three hard classes this year (along with running start AKA a college class through a community college) and I have at least an hours work of homework for each of those classes to complete a night! On top of that, I also study for those classes at least once a week.
I know I should not let school stress me out so much, but I feel like their is so much pressure on every teenager regarding school in today’s society. Ask any upperclassmen in high school and a majority of them will tell you they are stressed because of school.
This is just a summary of my bad days. I’m not always negative, but I just needed a place to vent.
Does anyone have any suggestions regarding what I can do to my school-related stress/anxiety? Any tips?
I know I will have a good day one of these days and I am so looking forward to that!!! I am also very happy that I’m not the only teenager who has bad days relating to school. I think most of us are going through the same things. 🙂
If you’re having a bad day, you are not alone. There is always someone who will be there for you. The only thing you need to do is speak up! Stay strong everyone, life’s a roller coaster, we’re all in the same one in some ways.
