I feel like I need to speak to someone?

We Answered:

show this to your mom and dad and tell them you need a therapist.

Also, get to bed at 10pm every night. Sleep deprivation can easily cause all your symptoms.

You're in 8th grade. BE IN EIGTH GRADE! A few honors classes are okay, but not honors and ninth grade classes. Take your time.

Somewhere you learned "more, faster is better". Maybe you were rewarded for success in school so you did more and more and more of that. That lesson is not just deciding what you do, but it's using up your life.

Take your life back, with the help of a therapist. Do less and enjoy more. Learn less, but more deeply and at a reasonable pace. Smell the flowers, enjoy the sunshine, get a good nights sleep.

Me, too. Good night.

Can you edit/read my college essay draft?

We Answered:

Well....there are some grammatical errors, but I think that is the least of your problems at the moment.

I feel as though this topic that you chose is somewhat hackneyed. There have been millions of quiet people before you and there will be millions after you. So, your essay isn't an eyeopener or groundbreaking, which you would want it to be. Don't get me wrong, the essay is good if you want to stick with it. But, i feel if you write a more unique essay, this will give better chances at some colleges

Myrtle Said:

my new math teacher is not teaching me anything. how can i catch up?

We Answered:

First - look at a mentoring program in your school. Find an upper classman who can work with you.
Second - try finding a tutor. That should be easy - there are postings on Craig's List.
Third - there are software programs that you can buy, download and work on your math skills on your own time.
Fourth - either talk to your parents and have them talk with your teacher - or just talk with your teacher about your concerns.

Good luck!

How would you do these few math problems?

We Answered:

1. A line graph is a scatter graph with a line of best fit.

2. 840^2+b^2=2923^2, pythagoras, you can work the rest out.

Michelle Said:

Should I switch into an easier math class?

We Answered:

The advanced classes are designed to present a challenge to students who would be excelling in grade-level classes. That's why there's a big difference: grade-level classes simply teach, advanced classes challenge. Classes are leveled since some students just have a better ability to learn than others!

I think you should stay in the class, challenge yourself, but if you really are struggling that hard, then switch. A letter grade C would bring down your GPA too much, especially if you advance to high school and keep with the higher level classes.

Good luck on the rest of the school year and beyond! :)
