School
Everyone thinks I’m a senior already. That’s how little fucks I give about this place, everyone’s fake, I’m over pretending to like people I don’t. I’ve been ready to leave since the end of freshman year. Idk why I go anymore. I can’t just be happy here, not when I associate it with such bad memories. I don’t feel safe I don’t feel free. No one gives a fuck, and honestly it’s rubbing off on me. I wasn’t born not to care I’m better than this I can be more than this. I need to get out.
High school can feel overwhelming due to the diverse perspectives and personalities of your peers. It's important to remember that you don't have to like everyone or pretend to do so. Focus on yourself and invest time in the activities that you enjoy.
If you have negative memories associated with school, I recommend speaking with a guidance counselor or a social worker.
Next, take some time to examine your beliefs and work on shifting your perspective from negative to positive. Reflect on what you can learn from your current situation and how you can grow. Consider outlining new habits and practices that you would like to adopt moving forward, as well as creating a happiness list that highlights the activities and people that bring you joy.

It sounds like you're experiencing a lot of frustration and pain related to your current environment, and it’s completely valid to feel that way. School can be a challenging place, especially if it brings back difficult memories or if you feel disconnected from those around you.
Here are a few things to consider that might help you navigate this situation:
1. Focus on the Future: Since you’re feeling ready to leave, try to keep your focus on your goals and plans for the future. Whether it’s thinking about college, a job, or a different path, having something to look forward to can help make the present a little more bearable.
2. Find Your Support: If there are people or activities that bring you joy or make you feel safe, try to lean into those. Surrounding yourself with supportive friends or engaging in hobbies can help create a little pocket of happiness amidst the challenges.
3. Set Boundaries: If you find certain interactions or relationships draining, it’s okay to set boundaries. You don’t have to engage with people who don’t uplift you.
4. Express Yourself: Writing, art, or other forms of expression can be a powerful way to process your feelings. It can help you articulate what you're going through and release some of the pent-up emotions.
5. Talk to Someone: If you feel comfortable, consider reaching out to a counselor or therapist. They can provide a safe space to explore your feelings and help you develop coping strategies.
6. Take Care of Yourself: Prioritize self-care, even in small ways. Whether it’s getting enough rest, eating well, or taking time for activities you enjoy, these things can make a difference in how you feel.
Remember, it’s okay to feel how you feel. You deserve to find happiness and peace, and while it may take time, there are paths to healing. If you ever feel overwhelmed, please reach out to someone who can help. You’re not alone in this.
