So scared and sad about going back to school....I need a lot of advice!!?

Question

I'm going back to school on Monday. I am so sad about going back...I hate all the homework and I don't know who is in my classes or my lunch. I'm going to be a junior. I'm really scared because I'll be in some classes with only seniors and I don't know ANY of them. None of my (few) friends are in my lunch. My best friend isn't in anything with me.

I'm just so mad that the whole summer is gone. I'm really nervous about gym class too because I suck at sports and don't want to embarass myself.

I've experienced this all before. I started treatment for depression back in January, and this summer was my happiest ever. At school, I'm always miserable. I'm sad that the summer is GONE and I can't do anything about it.

Waking up super early destroys me. (5:30-5:50 am) School is far away, I go to Catholic school.

PLEASE give me any advice. I need to feel better about going back. I just feel so numb right now, like I want to cry but I can't.

Answer 1

I can relate to you. I'm also a junior and ended up in a class ful of freshman. I also get up early (4:30 to 5:00) for an early morning church class. I get stressed a lot but what I do, and what you need to do, is take a step back and look at each problem seperately instead of one giant mess. Yes, we all hate homework. But if you leave it until the last minute or just give junk answers, the grades are going to go down which will probably make you feel worse. And you don't have to do it in one go. Do Math when you get home (get the worst out of the way) and then do something fun for half an hour and maybe have a snack. Then get back to it.

If you're worried because you don't have many of your friends in your classes, don't sweat. Make some new ones. One year age difference isn't that much. I bet by the end of the year you'll have some new great friends. If it doesn't work out and you hate 'em all, well, they'll be graduating soon. :)

In Gym do the best you can. If you mess up and look stupid, smile and laugh along. Looking back on it in a couple years, you probably will laugh at it. And no one will remember.

To help school pass along faster give yourself a fun project to do during the year. Check your progress at Thanksgiving, during the holidays, Easter break. Then when summer arrives, you can see how far you've come and that the year passed faster.

For getting up early the solution is simple: Go to bed earlier.

Hopes this all helps and that your year might be a bit easier.
