This story might be long just letting u know a head of time. Well school makes me depressed. I'm failing geometry and biology and pretty sure I'm retaking them next year. I'm quiet so when the teachers ask if there's any questions and even tho I do I don't say anything cuz I don't want everyone starring at me or something. I stopped asking my math teacher for help privately because he makes me feel stupid and I can tell he doesn't have the patience for me becuz he's fast during his lessons like annoying slow the fuck down fast. He makes me feel stupid and embarrasses me. He"ll be like oh u don't get this???? With a smirk and embarrass me and I'm thinking no mother fucker that's y I'm asking u. I get sad when the whole class knows what to do but i dont and im sotting there just thinking FML. I don't like when teachers force u to present in front of the class when ur not comfortable. I hate that or else u fail if u don't. I hate going up and presenting. I want to be home schooled. Ppl tell me what u won't see ur friends or go to prom and shit. I don't want to miss prom but I think homeschooling would be better for me where the teacher would go at my pace and u could ask questions without feeling stressed as hell and pressured. And the friends part well at school they all annoy me. Some friends I dont even want to hug or talk to and they bug me and i want to just -- walk off and ignore them for the Rest of the day or for the rest of whenever I want. I don't like that in some classes ur separated from all it friends and u don't have anyone u know and like u have to get with partners and u know nobody so ur a loner or put in a group that u dot even know or want to know so u just stay quiet. At r school we have two lunches. First and second lunch. In scared that I'm gonna be like for example in second lunch alone with nobody to eat and hang out with for those 30 minutes while all my friends have first lunch together so I'm being a loner. I just can't take this anymore and I don't know what to do. With the grades I'm getting I'm not on the road to a good college or to a college I want to go to. Ppl tell me it's me it's not embarrassing to repeat classes that u failed but it is to me. I feel so pressured that most of the time I wan to give up! But I can't drop out so I want home school buuut I don't know what to do plZ help me plZ

    Sweetheart, I hated school! I didn't even really like the socializing part all that much. Well, at least not in high school. It's normal. Just think of it this way, the harder you work to pass those annoying classes, the quicker you get out. And college is much better!
    And I remember being kinda quiet too. Sometimes if you're really shy to ask a question in class infront of everyone, just walk up to them after class and ask. I used to get easily embarrassed too whenever I didn't understand something. F'ing math class was always the worst. Some of those formulas I just didn't see myself using in the future, EVER! I hate math!

    I have the same problem as well. I'm a freshman and I hated middle school and now have entered the worst phase of my life: high school. I dread each and everyday and every time I go to school it feels like a nightmare. Geometry I'm doing terrible in, no matter how much effort I put and how hard I try. Mostly I just dread school because of the constant socializing. I have never really fit in, so it's hard to present in front of the class and make friends when in a class where I don't recognize anyone.Trust me, I know what it feels like to be hopeless. I also have depression and am trying to work through it and concentrate on school. Keep your head up and keep trying! Be strong and stay positive

    I have the same problem. I'm failing biology, geometry, and LA. I just feel so hopeless. I have big future plans but right now I don't see why any colleges would want me as a student.... Just keep your head up. (Easier said than done.). Maybe see a doctor. I have depression and that's why I'm failing.

    Oh jeez you almost sound like me. I'm a Senior in high school right now. And I remember feeling exactly the same way you do.

    I would always have trouble with math and when I was a freshman I actually failed Algebra 1. Yes, and I had to retake it Sophomore year. It sure was a little embarrassing but I just didn't seem to care at that moment. And junior year I had to take Geometry.. I feel your pain.. I passed that class with a D+.

    I was always that mostly B/C student. I never liked memorizing things.. ^_^'' Unfortunately, there is still that thing were people with bad grades are labeled 'stupid'.. though that is entirely true.

    I thought maybe.. "as long as I can get out of this shit hole with these grades." heh, But seriously, It's definitely normal. I would remember going into the bathroom crying. I didn't quite care for socializing since my confidence would not be very high. I also had a phase where I would get the impression that 'everyone' hates me.

    Anyway, if you are deciding on dropping out of High School good luck. But, you must know what you are doing and have something planned out. Just get a general idea of what you want to do outside of school.

    talk to guidance about getting a schedule change if it's not to late if it is then ask a student in that class that won't make fun of you to help always ask for help even if it's not the teacher & I'm sure you won't miss out on any if the "big" experiences of school if it's it comes down to it then go with friend just remember what others say doesn't matter and have as much fun as possible

    School is a terrible place to be as a teenager. Life gets better when you finish it.
