Rant #2294

i’m in high school, and everyone says “it’s just high school,” but no one talks about what it’s actually like to take academic classes like bio, chem, and math while doing sports, trying to have a life, and dealing with your own thoughts. no adult has been real with me about that. i come home after constant tests and assignments, and instead of support, i get yelled at for failing and not having a job. even though i’ve applied to so many places and i’m still trying. i know i’m not doing my best, but this is my first time doing any of this. it doesn’t feel fair. i’m exhausted. on top of school, i’ve been dealing with relationship stress too. i tried to talk to my parents and explain everything, but instead of listening, i got yelled at again. i know i lashed out, but i’ve hit my limit. i’m tired of being reduced to grades just to make them happy, especially when it doesn’t even feel like they’re happy having me.
