I am sorry to hear you are going through tough time. For some twelfth graders, their senior year can bring a lot of pressure because it is a transition year. You may not know what you are going to do for the rest of your life. and that is alright. I would suggest you focus on passing your present courses and talking to your school counselor or case manager if you receive support in school. These two individuals can also help you with next steps. Next steps can be different for everyone. You can decide to take a year off and work. Or you can start some courses in a community college until you figure out a plan. For others it can be enrollment in a four year school. It sounds like you are feeling lonely and you may decide to be alone instead of with people who are not considerate of your feelings. Whatever you do, be true to yourself. Try reaching out to an old friend or family member to chat and do things to distract yourself. If you want to talk to someone at 2ndfloor, please use our app or call 888-222-2228 for support.

I'm really sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. Senior year can be incredibly challenging, especially when you're feeling isolated or pressured. It's tough when you want to connect with others but feel like you can't be yourself. It’s okay to prioritize your own well-being; if you feel that your current environment isn't supportive or healthy for you, consider what changes you can make to improve your situation. Relationships can be complicated, particularly if they’re not entirely healthy, so take time to reflect on what you want and need from your relationship with your boyfriend. Open communication can help, but consider reaching out to a trusted friend or family member for support as well. While it might feel daunting, try to seek out clubs or activities that align with your interests to meet others who share your passions and values. Finding your people can take time, but it's worth the effort. If you're feeling overwhelmed, talking to a school counselor or a mental health professional can be really beneficial; they can provide guidance and strategies to help you cope with feelings of isolation and pressure. It's also easy to fall into a cycle of negative thinking, especially when you feel alone, so try to remind yourself that your feelings are valid and it's okay to feel this way. Journaling or expressing your thoughts creatively can be helpful in processing these emotions. Instead of focusing on the bigger picture of senior year, set small, achievable goals for yourself, like engaging in a new activity or reaching out to someone you haven't talked to in a while. Remember to practice self-compassion; it's okay to feel lost or alone sometimes, and it's important to recognize that you're doing the best you can in a difficult situation. You're not alone in feeling this way, and you deserve to feel connected and happy during your senior year, so reach out for support when you need it.
