School
Everything is so fucking stressful these days. I mean I did nothing wrong and then BAM! Life starts getting messy. This one girl from my IRLA (English) class said she wanted to fight me because I leaked her photo. I don't even remember leaking her photo and it might've been a long time ago. Why fight me for something that happened a long time ago? And plus this girl in all of my classes posted on Snapchat about how I have a group chat about a guy in our school. Man things these days. I cant live peacefully without rumors. And school is stressful too. I have a C in one of my classes and my Science teacher wants to talk to me during study hall (WIN). And I'm barely hanging on to Math and IRLA (English). The only thing I'm good at is playing my viola. I get compliments for it and I impress my classmates during group lessons because I'm really talented. But I wish I could be a better person and be good at something other than playing a string instrument. I wish I was more sporty, I wish I was very smart, I wish I was kinder, I wish people actually liked me. I wish I could change, instead I'm just another screw up in my school.
I’m really sorry to hear that you’re facing this situation. Teenagers can be quite harsh.
Rumors can be seen as a form of bullying that often occurs in high school. I can relate to this topic from my own experiences with rumors and bullying during my junior and senior years.
Teenagers can be quite harsh, and many don’t fully understand the harm that their words can inflict through rumors and bullying. So, what’s the best way to handle high school rumors, even though it’s the hardest?
The answer is to ignore them. I genuinely believe this, as I’ve been in that situation myself. It’s also a good idea to reach out to your parents and school counselor for support. Remember, this phase won’t last forever.
I hope you find this advice helpful!
Sounds like you need to take one thing at a time and be kinder to yourself. Just that you would even question if you could be kinder shows you are a kind person. Life is very tough but I can tell you are very smart and caring and sounds like really talented musician. Things get better!
