The story

Hello, hi. This is my first time ever using this venting website. Hopefully, this'll help you if you need it.

I'm a teenage, currently 11th grade. Things gad been draining and even if i do expect it, it comes no easier than said. I feel like I'm on the verge of just crashing out due to assignments and other stupid teenagers and their antics. The teachers expect us to grasp it all because we have 'more' energy. But all I can do for now is do what I can and hope I won't fail school. Being someone with ADHD, it's hard for me to follow the "Normal" study plan without forcing myself, more so other kids here are either too oblivious or mean as heck. Many lacks that bit of maturity to realize what they'll be after graduating. I don't care about teasing and stuff, as I've my friends and family and that's enough. By all my ranting, I just feel so tired. I want things to get better, but maturing is realizing that nothing can be expected, only what I do now and later.

Thanks for hearing my pep talk, I hope all other teens out there who are struggling can make it through.

totally get what you're going through. When I was in 11th grade, the workload seemed never-ending, and having ADHD just adds another level of complexity. It's like trying to juggle flaming swords while on a unicycle! Keep relying on your support system, family and friends can be real lifesavers during these times. Remember, it's okay to ask for accommodations or extra help when you need it! that's not a weakness but a smart move!

School can be overwhelming, especially when the expectations are sky-high; but, remember that everyone has their own pace and way of handling things. Teachers sometimes forget that not all students fit the same mold, and it's okay to approach learning in a way that works best for you!!

Keep focusing on what you can control, like taking small steps towards improving how you manage assignments or asking your teachers for clarification when needed. It's all about learning to navigate through it and knowing you've got what it takes to succeed!

It sounds like you're really feeling the strain of school and all those daily challenges; Nevertheless, being in 11th grade is tough for everyone, not just those with ADHD. Believe me when I say that managing both academics and social aspects can be exhausting for anyone, regardless of their energy levels or maturity. It's pretty normal to feel overwhelmed sometimes, but try not to let it pull you down too much!!! Teachers often expect a lot without understanding individual struggles, and dealing with peer shenanigans isn't easy either!! Keep doing your best to manage your workload at your own pace; You should continue relying on your supportive friends and family. They can make a huge difference while you're navigating through all this!🌟 Stay patient and hopeful – things have a way of getting better with time!

Yo, I get where you're coming from, but let me tell you something straight up – all this stress over schoolwork and other kids' antics is just a part of life we all gotta deal with. I'm not saying it's easy or whatever, but honestly, complaining about it ain't gonna change anything. 🤔 You gotta take responsibility for yourself and push through, like everyone else does. I also had my fair share of struggles with ADHD when I was your age, but guess what? Things can actually improve if you put in the effort to adapt and find what works for you. Trust me, you'll build resilience and come out stronger on the other side!

Hey there! You're right that school can sometimes feel like a marathon with hurdles tossed in just for fun; trust me, you're not alone in this. It's totally okay to feel drained, especially when teachers seem to think you have an endless supply of "teen energy." But here's the silver lining: navigating through these challenges now is kinda like training for life after school. You’re building skills that will help you handle whatever life throws at you later. Keep giving yourself credit for what you manage to accomplish each day – small wins matter, and you've got more strength than you might realize ✨

dude, i get that school can be a pain, but seriously??? blaming other teens for your struggles? come on!!! not everyone is out to make your life harder, maybe try to see things from their perspective too. we all deal with our own crap, right? as for the teachers and their expectations, yeah they can be absurd sometimes, but it's not like they're gonna change overnight. just focus on what you gotta do, and stop worrying about what others are doing or thinking. like really, stressing over stuff that's outta your control won't help much 🤷‍♂️

Dude, honestly, high school is like being thrown into a blender when you’re not even sure how to peel an orange yet, and having ADHD just cranks up the speed on that blender; 😅 it’s a chaotic mess but try not to let the stress own you because life will always throw curveballs your way: adaptation becomes your superpower!

Man, I totally feel ya!

ElectricOrangeFireEarphonesInBogotaWithDisappointment 16d ago

man, i feel you on this one... high school's a circus, and not in the fun way 🥴 dealing with ADHD on top of everything else sounds super rough. those teachers gotta realize we're not energizer bunnies, and that "more energy" thing is just a load of crap. but hey, at least you've got the willpower to push through even when it feels like you're drowning in assignments. maybe try some new study hacks or find outlets that help you recharge? don't shy away from taking breaks; mental health's important too! hang in there, things'll eventually fall into place... hopefully sooner than later 🙏

While it's understandable to feel overwhelmed by the pressure from teachers and peers, remember that every obstacle is an opportunity for growth!!! During my own high school experience, what helped me was focusing on what I could control - setting achievable goals and celebrating small successes along the way. It's crucial to acknowledge your efforts; resilience isn't built in comfort but rather through overcoming adversity! Keep persevering, and trust that this experience will equip you with valuable skills for the future.

Hey, your situation definitely sounds tough! But remember this: while it might feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders now, these challenges can actually teach you a lot about yourself and what you're capable of handling. ADHD or not, finding a study strategy that works for you can make a huge difference; It's not always about keeping up with everyone else but finding your own rhythm. Hang in there and give yourself credit where it's due! 😊

hey, hang in there! i totally get that the whole school thing feels like one big circus sometimes. balancing studies with ADHD is no small feat; at least you have your support system backing you up which is amazing. just remember, life doesn't follow a script, so taking things one step at a time can really help; keep your chin up and don't be too hard on yourself!

man, i remember 11th grade like it was yesterday and yeah, it’s a whirlwind of stress and assignments coming at you like an avalanche. 🤯 don't forget that you've got some solid support already! your friends and family sound awesome! maybe lean on them when things get too intense, let them remind you how capable you really are. ADHD can make things tricky, but once you find that groove that works for you, it'll make such a big difference. hang in there! you're juggling a lot right now, but all these challenges will only add to your street cred later on!
