| | | So stressful (Tons of homework and more) I am a sophomore at high and already on the second day i have so much homework. This isnt the problem though. I'll do my best to not swear or say anything bad.
I am currently taking:
Finance
AP History
Spanish 3
Honors English
Acc Advanced Algebra 2
honors Chemistry
My problem is i don't want to do Honors English, my mom signed me and faked my signature.
I have tried to get it changed for months but they said they couldn't do anything about it until the first day of school.
On the first day i went to my councilor and i told her and she had my mom write a letter.
It took me 3 hours to get it by fighting for 3 hours
Then the Vice Principle makes me wait a hour to tell me and i cant switch out.
he said i made a commitment and that i have to switch out at the end of the semester.
I am already stressed out with all the other classes. I cant handle one more, if i have to do them all im gonna run away from this place and never return. i am truly working my hardest but im not that smart. It takes me a long time to do something when it takes someone else 5 min.
my mom chooses all of my classes it and i cant take it anymore, its taking everything in my to not through this computer at the window.
I tried to tell my mom that i have alot of problems already and i wont be abe to handle all this and if i have too, im just going to end everything.
She just chuckled and said im immature. Because i never planned to do the class i never did a big project during the summer.
I mean i was told i could leave the class. The VP said i can have a later date to turn the project in but its not the project or grade i care about.
I simply just cant handle the class, i mean ill do the project to get out of the class.
Just for 3 classes of homework, last night i had 5 hours of homework. I dont no if that seems like nothing to most of you, but i have never had home for the past 4 years. I always worked hard to get it done in class. I struggle alot in English and Science and when i finally get those grades up i am forced to take all these much harder classes.
My mom always tells everyone about how my sister is so smart and i tell her im sorry im not her and she just laughs.
She never takes anything serious i say.
I just want to get out of honors class, its not like im taking gym or anything.
If i cant get out im going to do some dangerous. I am so mad right now, im not really asking a question here i just need to vent since no one else would listen.
I ripped up my english homework, hes making us write a big essay tomorrow and i wont be able to do it now without the thing i had to read. I dont care if i fail this and my life is screwed up i dont plan on being around much longer. I use to get all d's and f's and i was happy then and im going to be happy again or im not gonna feel any emotions.
I'd go run as far as i could if i didn't have a lot of homework. If this problem isnt solved then im just going to go tell my mom "Thanks for messing up my life" and then ill be gone. And i'd never go back, ill go live behind kmarts for all i care.
It's a good thing my family doesn't have a gun, else i wouldn't be talking right now.
Im gonna talk to this VP again. I cant tell him how i feel because then he'll have me talk to someone and then ill be more messed up.
Sorry again, i know there is no question I just needed to say this.
I guess ill start my homework.
Im so afraid that my brother will come in and be his stupid self making fun of me for not taking his easy classes and i will probably beat him up alot worse than just brother fights.
Before i was typing this i got my paintball gun of full velocity to shoot him with it when he comes in. That will probably make me happy. | | | | | | |

| I don't think the military will take you without a high school diploma. They don't like GEDs either. |

| I got past the hard questions now im easy questions from last year or the year before. I cant imagine what it will be like when review is officially over.
And my books weigh more than me, then every teacher has to have their own binder because they are stupid. And because i am taking all these classes i hardly know anyone in my classes. i only know a couple people as only a small amount of people graduated from junior high with me because of the small student count. |

| It was to be something in the government most likely the FBI or CIA but it seems to have faded away. Now i am thinking about joining the marines because being in a office or going to college really is not for me. I can't deal with 2 days into a high school, and college will be worse. I share common interested in the government and marines because i believe in nationalism and the the history of the U.S. So i figure maybe i can do something to be a part of history and help protect others who aren't so messed up. |

| Find some study partners. Ask for help and keep nagging the counselor. BTW, you might find the homework takes less time if you stop farting around with us here at the AMHD forum.
Don't let this make you hurt yourself, though. |

Also you get more control of your time and can organise yourself rather than running by someone else's schedule.
Anyway Emland was right stop procrastinating! |

| Im not trying to delay doing it, It's impossible to stare at these pages for longer than a minute for me. I think i could understand Japanese better. I finally got Chem done, to bad im going to fail the quiz tomorrow and then most likely the one on friday. Now its History time which with all their big words ill be lost.
And my mom made an appointment with the VP as my brother wants to get out of Honors English even though he is taking all the easy classes and isn't forced into anything.
I told my mom im coming too so i wonder how that will go. |

| College wasn't for me either...I went for a semester, I was going for IT. I managed to drop out after 1 semester (I dropped between semesters...just didn't sign up for any classse the next one).
I nkow honors classes suck, but if it's anything like my high school was, it doesn't really matter what you get in the class. Since it was an AP class (we had AP, not honors), our GPA was always one point higher than what we got, so even if you got a D, it still came up as a C on your GPA. The biggest part was basically, you don't have to take teh AP exam at the end of the year. You can take it if you want to, and if you score high enough, you'll get college credit.
I would say, if you really don't want to be in there, you can try to get out of it, but it doesn't really hurt just to let your teacher know that you don't want to be in there, and that you won't be focusing that much attention on the class. If you tell her/him that, they will probably either help you get out of the class, or take it easier on you, and just help you get a passing grade. That's what I would do, at least, if I were a teacher in that situation. |
