Being a teen sucks
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!
