I've been going through a lot lately. I'm 16 and in the 10th grade.I was always a 4.0 GPA kid, %26amp;had big plans to some great university. This year, I am failing all my classes. I have OCD,ADD,%26amp;depression. anyway, i was always a smart kid, and sticked to my studies, i did have friends at school, or rather "lunch friends" who i wud just eat lunch with. i never hung out with them outside of school, nor did i ever text, or call them just for the fun of it. This was b/c i was a studious kid, and usually those types don't socialize much b/c they are so busy with school and extracurricular activities. Is this wrong though? Does that mean I am not social? I think I am social, I just don't have time for it. What's the defination of being social? So this year, because I had serious focusin issues,I couldn't concentrate at all on skool, and began socializing more to get rid of my social anxiety.Worth it?im failing all clases and plans to get to a good university/college have gone down the drain :(
Social life, or Academic Life?
Dont blame psychological problems for your grades. Seems that's all people do now a days...to find something wrong with themselves for their lack of discipline
Reply:Just get back on track focusing on your studies. You won't see the majority of the kids you go to school with when you go to college. It's not worth losing your good grades over these kids your trying to impress.
Reply:i kinda know how you feel. because i've always had trouble balancing my social life and academic life. i have learned that you can't have both up to the point you want it to be, but you don't have to have only one. you should try to utilize smart time management to balance your social and academic life. maybe set limits and goals. like i'll only go out once a week/month. instead of saying yes to all your friends invitations. or be like if i get an A on this test, i should reward myself with a break this weekend. stuff like that.
Reply:If you are so bent on going to a great college and getting a great job, you should not worry about what people think. There is nothing that is preventing you from returning to your former self. You just need to commit to study harder and try harder. Its obvious that you have used your depression as an excuse to slack off. This slacking off has driven you into further depression. If you try and start getting better grades in school you might find that you will feel a lot better.
Reply:You shouldnt worry about being "popular" because those "friends" arent going to be with you forever but your education will... besides I bet your a really cool fun person to be around with you just like to study, but you can make a little time for your friends if you want to hang out but not to the extreme to where you are failing all your classes.... goodluck%26lt;3
Reply:I agree with Odyssey. Don't worry about what people think, just work hard in school! If you manage your time, you can have a good social life too. But slack off in school, and you might regret it for the rest of your life.
