Hey everyone, I’m new here and could really use it’s such an important time for me. But honestly, I’ve been struggling.
I haven’t been going to school regularly, and last week I was sick, so I missed even more classes. This week, I feel better, but now I just can’t sleep at night. It’s been really hard to wake up early for class. Right now, it’s midnight where I am, and I’m still wide awake.
With finals coming up, I’m starting to feel overwhelmed. I know I need to attend classes and stay on track, but I’m stuck in this cycle of not being able to fall asleep or wake up on time. If anyone has tips or advice, I’d really appreciate it
she said that any and all drawings, writings, scribbles, or anything on a desk with pencil is vandalism, a misdemeanour, and grounds for police involvement and suspension. is that really true?? you can literally just erase pencil. plus, what if you accidentally leave a mark??
I'm a senior in high school that's taking an advanced mathematics course. We have only one A-level teacher in the entire school and she is horrible in what she does. She is unable to teach in a comprehensive manner, only caters to the "naturally gifted" students, is arrogant and thus refuses to hear your side of things. We recently had two tests, the first one's highest grade of all seniors was a 6 (on a 10 grading scale) and after this latest one, I got a 4 despite studying all weekend for it and I wasn't the only one. I had made not a single mistake in all the preparation materials provided, yet her tests always remain unproportionally difficult to what she teaches. I'm worried about my grade average and how it will affect my university application as I am applying for a major that places a big emphasis on maths.
I guess I'm simply curious if any of you have any relatable stories to share as it would give me great comfort.. I'm in the dumps rn basically xD thank you in advance❤
I don't want to be a super senior oh hell naw
I got a C first quarter and a C second quarter. If i fail the semester exam how does this affect my grade in the class? My teacher said we don't have semester grades because we have a final grade instead so i'm confused on what the semester exam does?
The door, the door had no locks. Here’s the kicker.
I had no nearest bathroom unless I wanted to walk for miles to an entire other hallway. I needed to shoot my cannon now!!!!
I ran, cheeks held full throttle!!!
The door flew open, but never closed. I with all my might, held open the door with my arm and let it rip while squatting!!!
I was dejected, splash back all on my cheeks. At least wiping was faster
I’m surprised the bathroom even had working soap dispenser.
Never again will I ever go back to a school bathroom.
I’ll instead do it in a bush outside to claim territory and assert maximum dominance.
I just received a letter in the mail from Colorado Christian university saying I was invited to a 3 day FREE event all costs covered. I just want to know if this is legit, or if it's one of those things that makes you end up paying a bunch of money upfront. I'm from California, so I dont want to waste my time on going to Colorado for "free". So is it a scam or should I go? Thanks.

I cheated on my Christian living/religous exam. I feel terrible. This is the first time I've done it. I had notes inside my pencil case, I didn't have intentions to cheat until I noticed they were in my pencil case bluntly opened so I had a temptation to cheat. I feel stupid too, because I knew the answers however I glanced at my notes 3 times to make sure. My adviser caught me, asked me why I did it, I owned up to my mistake, and now they are going to conduct a investigation.
I told my guardian, shes upset at me for cheating especially it was a religious class not math, or even science. I asked the guidance councilor if this will affect everything, she told me that it only affects this quarter grades and that I can bounce back afterwards. She also said that my major offense only applies to this school year 2024-2025, is that true? I need reassurance. I'm a class officer who is known to be very vocal and always participating in school activities. I'm scared that my adviser, my subject teacher will think differently of me. I was even planning to run student council for my next grade level, I asked if I'm not allowed to run anymore and the guidance councilor said I can. So my questions are:
hello, i almost failed my first sem and i wanna go back to what i am before. do you guys know any minimalis apps that can help me study? also any advices will always be appreciated:3 i wanna look for extra income online too, ik living with my aunt and she has three kids to feed. thats why i wanna earn money so i can help her by paying my school contributions with my own money at least, even if its not high paying.
Theres this dude that I used to go to school with. I left that school because it was an international that gave me no help when it came to academics and the school atmosphere was just toxic. Im from nyc but five years ago i moved to korea. I lowkey hate it here but i cant move back until i get to college. so my mom got into business with one of the popular korean convenience stores and i have to work in it. this dude lowkey makes fun of me and belittles me for working at a convenience store and makes me feel stupid when i literally used to go to school with him and i know he's stupid as shit. i don't say anything that antagonizes him because i don't want anything bad to happen to my relationship with my other friends (so basically he's not part of the friend group but he's apart of the school that i used to go to which is really small and i don't want it to taint any relationships for him or for me) anyways so basically this convenience store that my mom has is in the neighborhood that he lives in and i always knew he was a blabber mouth so i trued my best nit to ever run in with him but i gave up on that because you can't really do that if you live in the same neighborhood and now any time he sees me working at the convenience store he kinda says things like " are you really from america " smirking and its not a big deal tbh and im also gonna go back to ny with no intentions of coming back to korea but as of right now it hurts honestly im a human being to and i just don't know what to do rn im just avoiding him a much as possible but to be frank i don't really think its going to go long i mean i saw him a few minutes ago and idk how to move on from this situation without hurting my feelings or his.
PLUSs im literally doing this for one of my extracurriculars but this dude is stupid asf and i don't think he understands i hope karma comes his way because he has so much prejudice against people and he has said so many things that should have stayed in his head yall idk what to do do i even need to do anything 😭😭 help
im about to go into high school next school year and i havent gone to an in-person school in five years. my parents put me into online during covid and i just never went back. i get unesey just being around other people. i have no friends, im a fat ugly dibshit. i am going to in-person school the first time since (once again) five fucking years. i cant express how much the thought of me being next to other people i might do somthing cringe infront of or to makes me want to jump off a bridge. i have cried countless times due to lonlieness and i cant shake the fear that even after high school i wont have anyone. I fear that all these years of being only able to talk to my mom/dad/brother who doesnt like talking to me/step dad/step mom, i wont be able to be a human around humans, i feel trapped, like i want to make firends and do all that, but then again i dont learn that way anymore. my brain has been wired to my laptop for so long i cant stare at the board for more than 3 sec without giving up (i have ADHD).

did i mention i hate math??
for context, im in my 9th year/grade
so its finals week and my math teacher assigned the study guide LAST FRIDAY??? THREE DAYS BEFORE FINAL WEEK?? i was absent on friday too because i was completely crashing out and i didnt even learn about the study guide until late sunday night when its due monday at 11:59 pm. the study guide itself is 7 pages long with numerous problems from every unit we did this semester.
but the worst part is?? ms teacher here is a fucking joke and i learned shit in her class. the school i got into is a more high end public school, so i genuinely expected and thought i would get good teachers which means a better education. i really really thought i would finally be able to fucking learn in my worst subject, math. but no. again, just like 6th and 8th grade (6th grade my math teacher was absent the whole year because of his child, 8th grade my teacher was absent and got replaced with a shit teacher halfway through the year), i am stuck with the worst math teacher possible.
i genuinely dont know what to do. why is it that ive never been able to get a good math teacher consistently?? for 3 years of my education, ive gotten nothing but flukes and shitty teachers who dont know how to teach for fucks sake.
i basically am stuck with elementary school level math because this whole time, ive wanted and craved to actually learn something but ended up just digging the dirt for something i will never receive.
anyways i had a breakdown because i couldnt understand the material on the study guide, and i feel sick of myself at the same time for procrastinating too, and feeling like i havent tried hard enough.
i dont know whether or not i failed the education system, or the education system failed me.
I’m 15 almost 16 in my sophomore year of high school, I’m failing all of my classes and have so many absences. I feel like a complete failure and have absolutely no one to talk to. I don’t know if this will even get any replies but Idc. I have straight Fs and one D, I have till January 15 before this semester ends and I really need to bring my grades up to at least Cs. I’m very depressed right now and have absolutely no motivation to do anything, I feel like such a failure and I feel like I’m disappointing everyone around me especially my mom. I used to be a good student up until I started high school. I don’t know why I became such a fuckup and maybe it’s because my dad passed away and before starting at a new school, everything became overwhelming for me and I had no one to talk about what I was going through. But it’s been a year since that happened so I don’t even have a reason to why I’m failing and am depressed now so I shouldn’t be failing all of my classes, I’m stupid, lazy, depressed, and procrastinating everything.

So today i brought in a radio from 2005 (A small one that you put in your pocket while running.) since I wanted to see if people knew what it was.
well, when I took it out of my pocket this morning and sorted through the radio channels, everyone looked at me weird and asked what it was. No one in my entire class of 40 could guess what it was.
But on the plus side i got to listen to music in class without the teachers caring.
Here is the type of radio I'm talking about: Handheld radio.
You know what, I take great pleasure in bypassing the school restrictions, my house is boring as shit so I have nothing better to do. It started with a simple site, TylerHallTech noguardian, then that was blocked, so I made a .html script that just let me embed any page locally. They blocked that after more than a month of it existing, along with my eaglercraft.html, every HTML is blocked now, even ones that go to allowed sites "Save link as"
Please, I am now fucking desperate, the chromebook is also my only PC I am *ALLOWED* to use, this Laptop I am not.
More details: The .html was blocked around 10:20 to the best of my knowledge, midschool, it was working that morning. None of the 3 people I gave the script (including myself) were using it at the time.
Currently going to install onto a USB Android Firefox, Android TOR, Android Brave, and Ublock Origin Lite and normal. Hopefully it lets me add at least one of those on. If not I need you alls' help.
