I can't go back to school?

Question

I'm way too scared, I've been crying all day (school is tomorrow) I lost all my friends this summer, I can't imagine going back there I hate it so much. I won't be able to see my boyfriend as much and I get homesick so easily. I hate feeling pressured at school and I hate being around so many people, I am also scared I may cry at school. PLEASE HELP ANY WAY POSSIBLE :(

Answer 1

hi there, im sorry that your having a rough time of it recently and you feel you have lost all your friends. It must be hard knowing you have to go back there when your feeling so isolated. BUT i do want you to know that when things happen in school and in holidays..... its like two different worlds things change, people change, when you get back to school from a holiday everyone talks to everyone, friendships change, people are accepted and people are forgiven. I know when i was at school, i cried and cried at the thought of going back after a horrible summer at 15 where i fell out with my friends, they swore they would never talk to me again so after worrying about going back i went back to it being totally different, everyone talking being accepted. And now i see my students doing the same, kids come to me on the first day back, or even before to warn me of arguements during the summer, i dont think i have ever had to say anything as people are so different after a holiday..... if your friends do not want to be there for you again, there WILL be someone in that school who wants to be your friend and new friends are always awaiting!

Friendships play a huge part of the education system.... and although making friends and being there and having a laugh is not what school is about, friendships are a big part of teaching you social skills as well as academic.

from what you say it sounds like your in a bording school..... (i may be wrong its just the bit about being homesick) if it is a boarding school you must have a close relationship with at least one of your teachers. if you cannot stop the fear of going back to school talk to that teacher, they will be there, and believe me they WILL be expecting it!

i wish you lots of luck and let us know.

Just remember (even tho i know its hard) that your not there to hang out with friends and your boyfriend... Your there to get an education...i know i probly sound like your parents but its true.  If none of your friends like you anymore, try to focus more on getting good grades and getting a good job because when you get out of school you wont ever see any of those people anymore...calm down and enjoy your years in school because it only gets worse as you get out...enjoy life and good luck...

Okay, this is me helping without knowing the full extent to your woes. Why not try think about school in a more positive light, hey? Sure, friends are a significant part of school for most, but you know what else is? Getting a good education, something of which is so sought after by some people who can't even afford a book. Consider yourself very fortunate.

Pressure, I don't think will ever phase from school life. It can be a great motivator and so long as you keep track of how you're going at school and stay on task, it won't mount on you in one big heap. If by pressure you mean by other students, well, what a way to test your abilities. There are always going to be less than agreeable people in the world. Just go and do your thing, get some knowledge into your head (hope I'm not being too frank here) and take things one at a time. There is always an opportunity to meet and make new friends, or re-kindle friendships, if you go about it the right way.

Plus, school is usually full of kids so if you don't like being 'surrounded' as you say, there's not much you can do. Unless you want to crawl under a rock for the rest of your school life, but that's highly unadvisable. Just take things as they go, go about your own things, do your best at your studies and see how things go from there. If you need to talk about stuff, go to your parents, teachers, or people you trust to work stuff out. By the way, school isn't forever and you will most likely not see a lot of people ever again, so make the most of your education and learn. You'll be out of there anyways.

Wish you all the best!
