School or home??

Question

I am currently a high school student. I love going to school to learn and I also like to go to school to hang out with friends. But lately I haven't really liked neither. I don't like home because my grandma is 2 bossy. ( I live with my grandma) and not really likeing school because some of the kids in my grade are saything that I smell. I am a female that takes a shower at least 2 times a day so there couldn't be a possible ways of that. How can I deal with the stress of both my home and my school.

Answer 1

If you are serious, then you must somehow take these comments, negative comments in your stride. But, as a teenager, meaning you, I know that it can be difficult to ignore such cruel comments.  And yet, perhaps speaking with those same people, confronting them can help.  At least you will know where these "gutter trash" personalities are coming from and that is all they are, gutter trash.  For anyone, regardless of education, social status or supposed civility to make any such comment against another is perverted.  We all get angry at times and say things which later, we truly regret, but this seems pure bullying and sadistic teasing.

Anyway, sorry to bor you.  You could also speak with a highschool counselor, in private, just a one on one chat.

Please do not drop out of highschool and get home schooling. To DO THIS simply means you will drop out of something you really like again, just as soon as someone says something negative.  It will be come a self fulfilling prophecy.   Or, you could give me the addresses of the people calling you names and they will disappear, even though I have not worked for the CIA in many years. Well, no, forget that....too violent.  Anyway, good luck.  Do what you know is in your heart and do not give in to the local losers.

Answer 2

Stay in school. Kids can be cruel and there are always the bullies and the bullied and it hurts but it is no reason to leave school. Talk to a counselor. It sounds like you have friends, so stick with it.  Good luck...it gets better. You will be stronger for it.

Answer 3

The point of school is to learn; if you aren't learning then you are defeating the purpose.  I would try and do some research on K-12(http://www.k12.com/).  It's an online home school curriculum.  That way you can work with other teachers and students.  I'm home schooled and I have to say that I love it!!!

Good luck!

PS: those that say home schoolers don't have a social life don't know what there talking about.  I have yet to meet a home schooler that is not social.

Answer 4

Girl, it sounds like "haterade" to me...these girls are hating on you and they want to see you fail and run...people will say and do anything when they are jealous...R these females??  Don't let the words of others determine who and what you do.  You know the same thing happened to me, no kidding...and I let it get to me, but don't run, stand up and speak up for yourself, don't let them run over you.  I let the situation overtake me and it really messed me up emotionally, but you can be strong, stand strong, walk strong, talk strong, don't let em see u sweat. Naw, don't run baby!!!

Ask God for the wisdom to deal with this and the strength to get thru it.  If you need to say something to these fools then God will give you the boldness to do it.  If not, He'll give you the strength to get through it.  I don't know if u are a believer of God or not, but honey I would get to praying for them, if I were you, before they break you down, because that's what they are trying to do, but those who dig ditches, themselves will fall in them!!!  Peace my friend.
