i just can't anymore

i'm literally breaking down over school work right now. i've always been the smart kid and my future hinges on the subjects i'm not the best at. i'm so scared of letting everyone down and disappointing those who have high expectations from me. i feel like i can't talk to anyone about this. the only time i matter is whenever i do well academically. my brains are literally all i have going for me and my mind is crumbling. if im not smart, im worthless.

It is hard when you tie your self worth to the opinions of others. Regardless how you do in the class, you are still a worthwhile person. This said, I can fully understand the pressure of expectation and defined success. I was pretty much an A student across the board, but one subject gave me a very hard time. I went for special tutoring every day. I ended up passing the class, barely, but passed it and was able to put it behind me and still graduate in the top 10% of my class.

Do what you can to do as well as you can in the class, but do not let one class define who you are as a total person.

Had I not created my whole world, I would certainly have died in other people’s.

I very much doubt on your deathbed you’ll care about any of the things you’re studying.

It’s always nice to rise, meeting other’s expectations. Remember, you come first and it’s your expectation that needs to be foremost!!

I felt the exact same way, the same old course i sucked butt at would bring me down one final time.. but i didnt let it happen, i studied and nailed that mother
