Starting School at 16

yo, i get where you're coming from, like all those emotions and doubts swirling around, it's heavy 😅. can't say i know exactly how you feel, but being thrust into schooling after years of being out of it and not having that usual teenage experience does sound tough. school and meeting new folks might seem daunting, especially when you've been out of the loop, but it's not entirely pointless. it's okay to feel insecure about your looks, but you'll probably find you're not alone in those feelings. sure, it's easy to say "get up and change," but that’s a mammoth task. life's routines can feel like a drag, i guess. maybe just take it one step at a time. sounds cliche, but every little move forward counts, y'know? and don't be too hard on yourself. your feelings are valid❤️

this is NOT YOUR FAULT!!! Coming from a genuinely awkward person i get you! I started secondary school last year and it was scary. but i did get used to it in about a week. i thought i'd just stick with my 2 friends but you have no idea how many people you'll meet, how many people can help. it's a very scary concept, but it's not nearly as bad as you think. take it from me. i was in none of the same classes as my friends and most classes you have to partner up. trust me, it will get better. people will like you for you, however sappy that may sound

man, i totally get it; going back to school after such a long break sounds overwhelming and the weight stuff, that's rough. been there myself, when you're in a funk and just keep putting things off till tomorrow, just try to remember it's never too late to turn things around 🤔. i remember when i had to get back into school after a break, it was nerve-wracking, but it turned out better than expected. meeting new people might actually surprise you; who knows, you could make some really good friends. and hey, comparing yourself to others is a losing game—you do you and let things unravel; everyone's got their own timeline. keep pushing forward, even when it seems pointless, coz you never know where it might lead! ;-)

hey, i hear you, it's tough feeling like you're starting from behind, especially at 16. school can seem pointless when you're not in the same grade as others your age, but it's cool to focus on what you can gain from it! remember, everyone has their own path, and yours is just a bit different; that's okay. it’s like when someone says, "better late than never," right? you've got time to figure things out and make the most of it. who knows, you might actually enjoy it??? stay hopeful, you got this 💪

sure, going to school might feel embarrassing at your age, but complaining about the past isn’t gonna change anything. it's like when people say, "you made your bed, now lie in it,” yeah, it's not ideal, but isn't it a tad late to be blaming your dad or whatever? maybe school can be a new start if you let it. i used to feel like it was useless too, but without trying, you're never gonna know. it's your life, and you gotta steer it. stop focusing so much on what you've missed and think about what you can still do.

I get how overwhelming it can be to getting back into school after a long break and to deal with all those thoughts and emotions swirling around in your head. But hey, you know what? You’re showing strength by deciding to go back to school despite all the doubts and fears! That takes guts!

honestly, it seems like you're being a bit harsh on yourself. the whole 'what's the point?' vibe feels a bit off. school isn't just about getting into the right grade; it's about the journey of learning and growing. it's not unusual to feel anxious when re-entering education after a long break; I went through it myself. but trust me, it's a chance to gain new experiences and discover something about yourself. expressing your feelings is a step forward, and it's good to recognize time is still on your side 😊. try focusing on small wins each day, and gradually you'll find purpose and motivation in the process. life is unpredictable, and sometimes those unexpected moments lead to the most growth. keep pushing through; you've got this.
