How to keep your grades up to A's and B's?

Im so stressed out because of school and grades?

• i dont know what to do anymore. i dont feel like getting up in the morning, theres nothing to look forward to apart from new anime episodes. now my grades went from Bs which i was already unhappy with to Bs and some Cs. a teacher told me i should have done better in a test, therefore i may not be able to take the next higher GCSE test and be forced to take the basic/lower test, probably because ive lost all interest in school. i hate my teachers, my subjects, the school as a whole. my friends are all boffins so they make me feel even worse about my grades. i am in the top sets but its so hard to keep up with, also my friends dont help me in school. i spend most of my time trying to do my homework, which i get lots of, but its too much and i cant stop procrastinating(just like i am now) so i get frustrated and disappointed with myself that i start crying. i dont have a lot of confidence, i just always feel fat and ugly. i dont know what to do with anyhting. im 14, in year 9.

• Answer:

  Have you thought about seeing your doctor? You may be suffering from a hormone imbalance or depression. Both can be treated and hopefully give you more focus. Try to find an activity outside of school that interests you (volunteering, art, sports, etc), as having a diversion from school and homework will actually help you feel better about yourself and give you more self-confidence. Just remember, there are tons of people feeling just like you. You are not alone. When I was 14, I thought I was fat and ugly. When I got into college and looked back at my pictures, I was surprised at how thin I was and wish I could look like that again. It's all about perspective. I bet you are beautiful inside and out.
