Life sucks.

24 Answers Gee, where to begin... God, I hate snow... Snow usually means winter, and I always get sickly during the winter. Since I hate getting sickly, I hate winter! Now that we have that established... I feel so down... I think I'm in a slump. I haven't been doing my schoolwork, so I've been emotionally and academically paying the price. I don't mind having crap grades all that much, it's just: I believe I'm in danger of failing 1 or 2 courses. I know I haven't been handing in assignments for one teacher. My teacher told me this would be my last week for handing in assignments otherwise, I risk the chance of failing. I've been missing way too many classes(for the second course in fact, this goes for all of 'em) and not doing the homework(usually textbook tidbits but occasionally some actual assignments). I'm not really sure why I'm not doing the homework. I know that last year, I dropped out of Science, and took Resource as a replacement course. That helped emotionally(less pressure, and Resource is essentially "homework class"). On some days, I don't feel like going to school at all. So I stay in. On those days, I still don't do any homework. I don't have any suckish teachers in my opinion right now. My parent's values usually clash with mine. I'm tired of them getting on my case. Every time I'm unable to entertain myself through interactive media(i.e tv, video games, Internet) I get some mental anguish. If they care so much, why do they show it in such strange ways like pulling one of the cords from my Gamecube or taking away my modem and hiding it? I don't like Home all that much anymore. It used to be okay for meaningful learning, but now I find that it's just too loud(I have a severe-profound bi-lateral sensorineural hearing loss Pretty weird, isn't it?) for doing homework without having my privacy invaded. I don't think I can balance school with my hobbies. I find school just gets in the way in doing hobbies. I wish I had a mental pattern that allowed me to deal with homework sufficiently, and get fulfillment from doing my hobbies. What do I do? |

| You must have been paying attention along the way because you are an amazingly good writer with exceptional spelling and sentence structure. I got the feeling you are smart enough to figure this problem out all by yourself. Your last paragraph says you already know the best solution. | ||||

| I am in the 10th grade. As for my hobbies, they tend to vary from time to time. A given is web surfing. I am an avid web surfer! I usually like interacting with people online, so you may find me in a chatroom related to my interests. Right now, I'm totally into Pokemon. So I'm usually in a pokemon chat room. I also have a thing for forums. In my personal opinion, people are nicer on forums than chat rooms. So forums are cool like that. And lurking. I tend to lurk around certain forums. Like Pokemon ones. AMHD, too. I'm also into video games, and watching TV. I love reading books. Wondergirl, I'm scared. I'm scared because I'm not entirely sure what the solution is. I'm scared, because I may have to face homework, and homework scares me. Even if I have this problem figured out, I don't trust myself. Like, I tried to get myself to the library. But I made up excuses and went home instead. I get uncomfortable when around in social situations. I find homework(whenever I do it) to be well, almost dull. I have a lot of work that I haven't done, and I feel scared at the thought of attempting to complete most of it without feeling empty inside. You're placing too much faith in me. I need help, and I think I'm my own worst enemy when it comes to homework. | ||||

I know how addicting the computer is. Mine was down for about 36 hours last spring, and I couldn't even check my email. I thought I would shrivel up and die. Have you talked to a school counselor or a teacher you like and trust? | ||||

| I've talked to a teacher I liked, a guidance counselor and a therapist or whatever, I think. I think all I got was "You need to do the homework, you don't have enough confidence in yourself, and you need to spend less time on the computer." I would post more info if I could remember, but I don't get to talk to them the way I should often enough. It's late, I'm going to be headed to bed. Good night! | ||||

| I share many of your hobbies, including Pokemon  I am nearly 20. I love video games, my favorite right now is Fable II for the Xbox 360. What about you? What genre do you like best?As to your not being able to do the homework, what about the homework scares you? You mention it being dull...is there a way you can make it interesting? I sometimes encounter problems motivating myself and have to make studying fun. Try talking out your homework to yourself. It might sound weird, but it really works for me. Another thing that works is making flash cards on my computer. A great site for me is: Flash Cards - Create, Study and Share Online Flashcards Hope these tips help you! | ||||

| Hi, hamworld05! It really is about choices. I can sympathize with being bored and all that, but you know, what if you really applied yourself to the things that you need to do to get ahead and prepare you for the things that are to come later in life? If you applied yourself to get your schoolwork done and worked even beyond that which is required and also showed an interest going beyond doing just the basic things that you need to do, chances are that opportunities would open up for you to do things that would be more interesting and challenging. I know that from my being a teacher for a long time, that I have tried to provide ways for the smartest and self-motivated students to excel, not get bored and be excited about the challenges that I might give to them to prepare them for the things that they will encounter later. Future employers look for those individuals who went the "extra mile". Just a thought for you... | ||||
