I hate being so forgetful, but I'm not sure how I can work on it.

I get tired of coming home forgetting to ask a teacher something or going to school and realizing that we had homework, plus my mum told me that she wanted me to start remembering things better, but I'm not sure how. Not even to mention how upsetting it is to not be able to make my mum proud on such an easy task.

I tried writing things down and putting up a note on my bedroom door to help me remember things but it doesn't work when I'm at school or at my grandma's place (I go there before I go home).

Another thing is that all this forgetting stuff puts me in a bad mood. My mum keeps telling me that I'm too young to forget the way I do and that I need to start remembering everything that happened at the end of the day, but I'm just not sure how. Stuff just pops out my head like its nothing. I kinda want a PM for tips or for me to continue venting.

It's been hard.
School's been hard.
Everything seems awful.

I know there are so many people worse-off than I am, but I still can't help but feel awful.Untalented. In perpetual stress and anxiety.'

My grades are slipping no matter how hard I try in some of the classes.
I feel like my skill in art is so behind some of my friends and people even younger than I am.
Yeah, good for them- but I wish I was as good- or at least equal in ability
it makes me a little scared to draw with/ in front of them- I used to have confidence in myself and my art
i dont know what happened.

How did I ever become so insecure in the first place? but its always same old, same old. I am trash, my art is trash, and I am everyone's favorite loser.

art is the one thing i'm "good" at
but I am still incredibly awful

i dont have time for anything anymore
i feel so dead

thank you whoever took the time to read this
i appreciate this
and i appreciate you
thanks

I'm sorry. I feel it too, my school grades and are slipping and I don't know how to raise them, I don't have time because homework takes all my free time. And my art skills have gone to waste, I can't stand to look at other people's art cause mine is nothing compared to theirs.
Just know you're not alone

wall of text comin up

quarter is ending this week and i am pretty terrified?? i have a few big grades left in each class (2 lab reports in science, an essay and test in english, project in art, essay in social studies, and a test in math) and i am pretty scared that in this last week i'll screw everything up. i'm actually doing pretty good in most of my classes; i have either a 97 or higher in 5 out of 6 of my classes, but i have a 90 in math.

and i know i sound pretty overdramatic when i'm complaining about a 90 when i'm doing good in my other classes while some kids are trying their hardest and still not getting the grade they want; honestly i am chill with this A- because my other grades are fine but my mom is absolutely not chill. she asked to see my grades the other day since she knows that the quarter is ending as well this week and afterwards she proceeded to yell at me about that 90 (while literally saying nothing about my other grades) and eventually ended up bringing some crap that i screwed up on 2 years ago which wasn't even relevant to my current grades. she said she would hit me should i get a B in any of my classes (which isn't too big of a deal, i know it's still a pretty common punishment in most households).

what irritated me is that my mom told me that i should "follow the lead of that kid from the nearby highschool and just kill yourself" (a student from a nearby highschool had recently been found dead due to suicide). and?? not only it is incredibly rude and overdramatic to tell your daughter to kill herself over a damn A-, i told her calmly that it wasn't very kind to pass off that highschool student as a casual example. she told me that the kids who commit suicide are usually "ill in heart or ill in mindset" and she said it would be better that they had died anyways. like ok yep that's nice, go and tell the parents of that highschool student that their son is "ill in mindset" and should've died anyways

annoying moms aside, i have a math test and an english test coming up tomorrow. i'm more worried about the math test - i need to get at least a 94 in order to keep my grade at a 90, and i am pretty paranoid that i will jack this up. i'm one percent away from a B+ and if i end up with a B+ as my math grade for first quarter, then i am done for.

my (ex) boyfriend and i just officially broke up....

i really loved him...

[Lyren]

Okay, I need help. Usually I don't go here but I need help.

I don't want to date. I don't want kids. But my parents keep joking about it, pressuring me to. I just told my mom I'll talk to her about this in 30 minutes. How do you tell your parents this?

[dakotapaws]

this is stupid

i took a quiz for one of my online courses
i couldnt find the reading material and my stupid self completely forgot about the live recordings to watch
so i took the quiz and now my grade in that class is a 77%
i hate myself for it and im crying over it and its ridiculous

to top it off i have to download like twelve programs like photoshop

the kicker is its a big file and needs tons of wifi

i share a house with five people and its been on 7% for HOURS i might as well give up now

i didnt want to do this this is why i cant do this please make it stop

[Carnations]

My friend keeps pressuring me into dating a guy who likes me I don't know how to make her stop.
She refers to him as my "boyfriend", she sometimes says we're dating despite that not being the case, and asks me why we aren't dating and that I should date him, and it makes me beyond uncomfortable.

We aren't even compatible too.
-he's impatient and I have trouble hearing
-he has some anger issues
-i don't have much respect for him
-i don't even like him + i'm not ready to date
-he's not my type
-he doesn't like one of my friends who's very important to me and gets into fights with her a lot {as we're in a lab group together}

what makes it even worse is that he sits next to me in science and that friend is in that class as well {and doesn't sit too far away from us}
I just want her to stop.

[frozone]

i come here so much
i cant even trust anyone irl
so i come to the internet
but here i am
i literally asked to watch a show that starts at 9pm, which isn't that late right?? and my mom says "no and dont ask again and stop arguing" so i said "why can't i watch it?" and now she literally says i didn't finish my HW, which is true. but we literally get a BOATLOAD of homework (no joke. it's all busy work) every day. and i tell her, and she just says "well stop messing around then." but seriously. i have HW in every subject and have an extra math class as well as honors english. it gets to be too much sometimes. and im just starting to cry and she says "you spend four hours wasting your time and complain about not getting HW done." i literally "waste" a half hour to an hour a day, and usually it's literally doodling a bit or something trying to destress myself from the stupid HW. she doesn't get it and it's just uGH she thinks im stupid and irresponsible, i know it.


oh and also happy meh 1000th post to meee

[theradiantfern]

I've hated this entire month. I've cried so many times at this point.
I feel like a burden, a failure, an unlovable mess.
I never want to go back to school. I never want to develop feelings again.
I wish my father were still alive.
I wish I didn't have felt this way for at least a decade...

the most important thing is to be respectful
people are much more likely to respect you and your opinions if you yourself are calm & do the same in return.
In my opinion, it would be best to simply state that, as of right now, you are not interested in seeking romance with anyone, let alone having a child. Stating that this could change in the future and leaving room for their own desires/opinions is generally a good option and helps reduce friction even if it is unlikely that you will ever change your mind
I hope this exchange with your parents goes well
Your love life is entirely up to you c:
