Upset
Hi,
i’m feeling very lonely. I donmt really have people i can call friends, or friends who i ever really communicate with.
School starts in a few days. And i’m feeling scared. I’m very behind. I should have done schoolwork to be more on track, on summer break, but i didn’t.
i don’t know how i manage to handle the pressure of new schoolwork. Schooldays. Being around people half the day. Socialising. Being on track. Being okay. Feeling alone aside all of that.
I just had no one to say this to, so i wrote it here

The thought of going to a new school can be intimidating. I am sure that there will be so many other teens in the same situation as you. And they are probably feeling just as lonely. You have already made a big step by saying that you are scared and that you are behind. You have a couple of days to work on your assignment's and prepare. Don't worry about the pressure of socializing just yet. If you are friendly to everyone, you will probably end up with friends. Remember that the goal is for you to learn so that you can graduate. I am wondering, are the any clubs, groups, or band that would enjoy joining? That might be an easy way to meet people; through a common interest. Don't allow this to stress you, just go with the flow a until you have an established a path.

my friends were tge ones to go to new school. I stayed at our old one.
i have been here since 1st grade and i still fear it. I mean i used to not do much. Highschool made me again. I’ve soent my 10th and 11th grade already in this class and highschool. It’s my ginal year. I can’t find friends now. I’m just i visible failure.
school starts tomorrow. 12th grade ones are supposed to introduce 1st grade on the stage. I’m stressing out. Idk what i have to say and i don’t wanna be on stage everybody looking at me. I have social anxiety. And just the fear.
it feels so unreal that school starts. My mind has not caught up yet. It makes me feel like idk where i am or who i am. Like in general. Like what is life anyway. I’m failing
Tsuk, I know it might feel overwhelming at first. But first of all, don't blame urself. Don't try to look at it from a fish eye lens. Try to break it down. Often times our brain sees a lot of problems at once and it goes "Arghhhhhhhhh" 🤣. But usually it is far more manageable than we think. Try to think it thru 1 problem at a time. U will most likely see that U can handle the situation far better that way. And if it gets overwhelming, pause and take a few deep breaths.
And remember, U can handle it😊
