I have three tests tomorrow (Math, English, Science), a Latin quiz, 8 pages of French homework (120 questions), a project due in Latin, and a Science Project, plus an English Essay, and 50 Math Problems, and a History essay!
It is currently 10:00 PM and I am stressing out because I have only done half of that. I haven't even begun studying! I started crying a few minutes ago. And I am only in 8th grade, not even high school! Plus, there is stress because my dad is going to jail for a fraud crime he did not commit and my mom is never sober and I am in a massive fight with a few friends and another friend was just diagnosed with anorexia and I just heard another friend tried to commit suicide!
AND on top of all of that, everyone expects my life to be perfect because I am popular, have a really hot and nice boyfriend, I am upper class and go to an exclusive private school.
WELL NEWS FLASH: my life isn't perfect AT ALL!!
HELP PLEASE!? I am sooo stressed out and I am in tears right now.
my school has around 15 emotionional counselors and around 10 to help with reading problems and such (in the middle school).
I have tried to talk to counselors, but the things they have to say are stupid
and a project is like a test grade. they WILL kill my grade
Take a deep breath. I'm sorry to hear about the situation with your dad and your mom. You should have parents that are there to listen and help when you need them, and it sounds like you can't really count on their support right now. It's going to sound harsh, but the sooner you learn this, the better it will be for your future: you can't wallow in the sadness so much that it becomes self-pity because it's too easy to be the victim. Yes, what you are going through is tough – absolutely, and I don't want to take that away from you. But try to imagine yourself when you are beyond this…it will be so peaceful and you'll have gotten through it. That peace starts now, one step at a time.
If you saw all these projects due on the same day or the same week, it would have been good to talk to your teachers about giving you an extra day. Keep that in mind for the next round of finals.
What I would do when things would pile up like this is to focus on what ONE thing I needed to get done first. That's it. If you get so stressed out that you get paralyzed, you're going to get overwhelmed and not finish anything.
So take a moment to write down ALL of the things you have to get done, in the order they need to be done. Try to decide and jot down next to each item when you think you can finish it by. Then just focus on the one thing that is next to do. If you get to school and haven't finished a project, try to work on it during your other classes, breaks or talk to the teacher early in the day to let them know you're half-way done but think you need an extra day, etc.
Once you get through this crazy round of finals, please, please go talk to your school counselor. You have a lot going on in your life, and you really need an adult that you can trust, who will listen to you and what you're going through.
I'm sending you all my best thoughts and lots of hugs.
can't do anything. you have my sympathy

I'm sorry babe. Can you maybe talk to your teachers about this? Get as much done as possible and explain to the teachers in the class that you didn't get the work done. I'm sure they'd understand. Maybe you can stay in during lunch and finish?
*hugs* It'll pass. Everyone goes though rough patches like that with tons of homework/drama. Hang in there.

Don't stress out.
Everything will always fall into place.
Plus, no offense, but if it's late and you have homework, why are you screwing around online?

just calm down and think of how you could fix your life

Does your exclusive private school have a counselor? Sounds like you need to make an appointment. High school is tough, family trouble makes it tougher.
Go see your school counselor tomorrow.

You must be popular & a real social butterfly, cuz you have neglected your responsability. Which is your school work. Your parents PAY to have you privatly educated, because they want you to have a better life than they have. Focas on school. Your parents will be ok . Don't add to there stress by flunking out of school. Turn off the PC and do your home work. Hope next time you wont wait for the last min.
