yes i know you may be reading this title wondering how does one achieve this.

i began freshman year in a very bad position and with poor mental health. i was absent 24/7 and showed up 2-4 times a week. but even then, i was struggling to attend school. i was going through a bunch of things at home and outside of school related to health and family that have heavily impacted my academics. i now can’t process simple algebra or geomotry, infact anything math related makes me overwhelmed.

i am now an upcoming junior graduating in 2028. i currently have a 1.8 gpa and feel extremely lost. i don’t know how or what i can do to help myself. this feels like rock bottom knowing i cannot afford college or even get accepted into one. i’m willing to do anything to improve my current situation, i know its probably too late now, but its better than letting things get worse. does anybody have any advice or any stories they can share relating to this? i’m really in need of advice and hope, i’m mainly worried about the SAT, my gpa, and anything that counts towards my future.

P.S my school also does not offer honor/AP classes because our state’s school system is different. we only have dual enrollment (college classes).

do guys prefer girls with high or low set brows? and thick or thin brows? because i’ve had both before, but i humbly consider myself attractive in both. i’m just wondering because i have been told by a friend that thicker/low set brows don’t suit me since it looks “masculine” and heavy.

but i wanna hear from a guy’s perspective as well, so what do men go for in women’s eye area? long lashes? high set brows? things that make it more feminine? it might be preferences but i’m still curious.

I’ve had braces for nearly 2 years now. At the beginning of my journey i had 4 premolar’s extracted in order to bring down a misplaced k9 and make “space” for teeth to align.

A year later i realized this caused me sleep apnea and a retruded smile, so i talked to my orthodontist & he suggested double jaw surgery.

My concern here is that he says: before the surgery, he’s going to use elastics to make my bite “worse” than before i had braces. To be spcific he’s going to give me a major underbite, and he says this is needed in order for my bite to look good AFTER surgery.

This doesn’t make sense to me and i’m wondering if this is like apart of the procedure? Why would he make my bite worse if the surgery is going to fix it? My bite is fine right now, i just have a recessed upper jaw.

Extra info: prior to braces i had a mild crossbite + mild underbite + misplaced k9 up in my gum.
