School
My parents have high expectations of me and honestly I feel like I'm going to die.
I'm in these stupid honors classes that I am sure I will flunk, and it's only been the first week of school.
Help?
It is okay and perfectly normal to feel stressed about school, especially in the first week. It may be helpful to start by talking to your parents, your guidance counselor, and your teachers (or all of them together). They may be able to give you some pointers on how to adjust to such a large workload. You may be able to set up extra help or a tutor after/before school. If it is possible, you may even want to talk to your guidance counselor about switching out of your honors classes (or one of them), if you both think that may help. Please call 2NDFLOOR anytime at 888-222-2228 for more help! Good luck!
