Ok. I'll introduce myself. I'm an 11 year old girl, probably too young to be on this site. I usually don't do this, giving out private information, but I'll do it. Lately, I've been feeling really depressed. I feel like everyone is against me. I'm Canadian, so in a month I'll do High School entrance exams, and I know that I won't do it. I study 2-3 hours everyday (I know it isn't that much for most people, but it's alot for me) with my mom. She helps alot, but each time I forget something, she'll scream at me for an half an hour. I'm really struggling at school, and I feel like I'm getting really distracted. My dad is always disappointed in me, and my siblings barely talk to me. I feel like my best friend is avoiding me, and now she's always with 2 other girls. I don't have many friends, I know alot of people, but they don't really seem to, appreciate me.I do a special dance program (1st half of the day I do dance, and the other school) so I need to do exams for a specific high school. I always seem to doze off in class, and I forget homework. What should I do?

So what you need is a support from someone and to master the exam subject?
You are a hard working students with low grades,try to relax because to easily learn something,you must NOT feel depressed. Try to lie to yourself as if you don't have any problems. Don't think too much and do some fun activites
What time do u usually sleep at night? And for homeworks,can you do it at school?

Ouch that seems pretty rough. Alright i'm gonna give it my best shot. Study wise I'm not gonna lie i'm 21 and I have trouble getting down and studying and everyone now and then my parents bug me about it too, so I don't think you can do much about that. HOWEVER depending on your relationship with your mum, you should really be able to talk to her and tell her you hate it when she's loud and shouts at you. When I was younger I'd sorta accept being yelled at, but if you be nice and reasonable and explain that you don't like it, any normal adult should understanding that they're being over the top.

Parent's expectations are something that you can almost do nothing about, but what I'd suggest you do is try to talk to them about it (dad or siblings). From my experience almost all conflict in life is people not seeing it from the other person's point of view. The only way you can do that is by talking. I realise I'm probably sounding really boring right now but unfortunately it's the most effective solution. Unless your parents are downright crazy and shout all the time then avoid being too direct or they might get really ticked off.

Aside from everything it seems to me you just need someone who is a real friend to you. It doesn't matter how bad it gets if you have someone to talk about it with and to relax. When I got jerks at school I just wouldn't care cause at home it was pretty chill, I didn't mind not having friends cause I had my family, mostly my older bro. Don't get me wrong I love having friends like anyone else but if the people that are in my school or university are not the kinda people i wanna be friends with then I rather be a "loner".

Anyway I'm done with my wall of text, if you need a wall to talk to or just let off some steam feel free to drop me a line or two. Good luck!

1. Being stressed is something that everyone experience throughout their lives. It can, sadly, lower the quality of your rest/sleep/breaks, therefore making you more distracted and even more stressed. First identify what is stressing you and figure out how to tackle each of them reasonably.


2. Your parents are naturally worried over your performance, seeing how much you are struggling. Tell them you know understand them and wish to perform as well academically as well. Explain to them that you only need a bit more time to process information and that you are also stressed.

3. Persevere, stay organized and eliminate distractions when you are studying. Use a timer. Do not play on the computer or your phone.

4. Friends come and go. They might also be experiencing something similar to you and cannot help themselves. Do not feel bad if they are no longer close. It might be solved with time.

5. High school exams are not impossible to beat. Do not lose hope. It matters not how long you study, but HOW you study. Get help in making a schedule. Good luck.
