i’m 16 i live in illinois and my dad dosent want to register me to my public school, i want to go there but i dont know how is there any way to register myself at 16 years old.
edit:( he wants me to go to a different school and registered me there but i do not want to go there)
First few classes and I swear everyone around me looks academically locked in while I’m still processing what just happened 😭
Please tell me I’m not the only one.
Like are we actually supposed to understand everything this early or are we all just collectively nodding and hoping for the best? 💀
Hello you guys, I’m in matric and in impaq homeschooling. I’m struggling a lot this year I never learned how to study and struggle with concentration. I’m so stressed and depressed I don’t know what to do about school. Can someone tell me if they didn’t do well in prelims how did you fix it or how can you concentrate. I’m trying to study at home but both my parents work from home and my sister has uni classes from home aswell, they are so loud and keep bothering me while I’m trying to study so I give up later on and it’s causing huge fights with my parents. This isn’t just about school I need some advice in general about life or can someone tell me does it get better? I’m not getting support from teachers or my family and I’m unsure of how to navigate ‘adulthood’
So any tips and tricks on studying or life experiences being shared will be appreciated I just wanna know if things will work out for me.
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).
Hello everybody,
I'm currently entering Junior Year for the first time in a US high school, We've shifted from India and everything seems new here. I have an interest in finance, math and am aiming high.
SCHEDULE
SEM 1
AP CSA
APUSH
Civic Literacy (idk wtf this is but it was compulsory)
NC MATH 3 Honors
SEM 2
AP STATS
AP LANG
Team Sports (compulsory, no choice whatsoever)
Forensic Science Honors
I was required to take a science elective however my science requirements have been cleared due to me being in a ICSE board up until Grade 10.
It's my first year here so how cooked am I? also what other classes should I take in the future to build towards my interest. Any Advice is taken guys...
So mid sem hit n i legit lost my mind. paper was due, prof is a nightmare who would just lecture me bout time management, and writing center had like a 2 week wait. Thought finding a term paper helper online would be effortless, but honestly most sites are complete garbage charging crazy money for trash.
Can’t even go to my prof cause he’s out with health issues right now and there’s no normal replacement or anything. So I’m basically fucked and gotta figure this shit out on my own. So I had to dig around to find an actual term paper service that wont drain my bank account or send pure junk.
Anyway, here is what actually worked when i needed to place a term paper order:
Honestly EssayMarket saved me. You drop your details and writers bid, so you pick someone based on ur wallet. Needed a term paper writer who gets formatting, and the guy nailed it right out of the gate. Zero flags on plagiarism, formatting was spot on. If you need term paper writing help fast without going broke, this one is goated.
PapersRoo surprised me too. Tried them for a heavy research assignment after seeing people on discord mention them. Not the cheapest writing service on the block, but quality felt like a grad student wrote it. Didnt miss a single source, followed my mess of an outline. If u want a legit term paper for sale where u dont gotta rewrite half of it yourself, they're up there as a best writing service option for harder classes.
Couple quick things i learned from this mess:
Kinda sucks that finding real help feels like navigating a minefield lol. Anyway, what platforms are u guys using this term?
hello, first post here- i am attending a private college as a freshman on the 24th. i am a commuter, i will not be living on campus. i have 2 classes m-thurs 1:00-345 (just giving u all the details for better understanding) anyways, the orientation is 3 days long and 16 hours all
together. i’ve seen other posters but wanted to get advice for my situation. the first day is 4-6 which i am totally fine with, but the second day is 9-5.. which im thinking i could be doing so many other things like just getting other stuff done during that 8 hours. i want to be in the loop but im not like dying to make friends ill be okay if i just do my classes and that be that. so is it worth going? will i look bad if i dont go? pls help
Tomorrow’s my first day of high school and I’m super nervous. I wanna get into an Ivy League school or Cambridge University because I am a kind of smart. I know quantum physics and a bunch of science and I’m very talented in a lot of things and schools have been kind of unfair to me so what’s a good way a real way to get good grades or get straight A’s
Hey everyone, I have an issue that no one around me could help me with. Basically I finished o levels in 2024 at 16 and went two years with no school die to financial troubles, now I'm 18 and I am considering doing both As and A levels next may but I have no idea how to start. My grades were average in o levels and I'm not particularly gifted in anything. Also, would it be possible to get into a good uni, preferably one with aid?
I’m 17F and currently in high school. I’ve never had a part-time job before, and I’m about to start my first one. Honestly, I’m really nervous and have been having second thoughts about it, but I also feel like I should push myself out of my comfort zone and see what having a job is actually like. Most of my time is spent at home, and I usually go out with friends maybe 2 to 3 times a week. My family is financially comfortable and they have told me I don’t need to work, but I want to experience having a job and having more freedom to buy things for myself. My biggest concern is that school starts again soon and I’ll also be dealing with college applications. I’m involved in a few clubs, volunteer a decent amount, but I don’t play any sports, and my schedule is otherwise pretty open. The job would be 3 to 4 days a week at most and around 20 hours per week. For those of you who worked part-time during high school, did you feel like it was worth it? And for those who didn’t work, do you regret not having that experience? I’d especially like to hear how manageable it was once school and college applications started?
I just finished my sophomore year with a 1.87 GPA, and I’m officially on academic suspension, but I can’t tell anybody in my family. My parents pay my rent because I go to college, and I don’t even know how to bring this up to them. I’m from an African immigrant family, and if you know, you know.
My first two years of college made me realize that I chose the wrong major. I’m literally suffocating. I went into health sciences and was majoring in neuroscience. I hate everything about it. The biology, the chemistry, everything. I can’t stand it, and I need to change my major. That’s one thing I’ve realized, and I might have realized it late because switching majors is not really a conversation we have in my family.
I need advice because I genuinely don’t know what to do next. I don’t think I can tell my parents. I’m planning on just working throughout this year, going through the appeal process, and seeing if I can switch to a major I’ll actually enjoy. At this point, I don’t care anymore about pursuing medicine. I don’t think I can do anything related to the medical field. It’s not for me, and trying to force myself to continue down this path is affecting my mental health.
Something important about me is that I graduated high school with a GPA of 3.8. I had never really had bad grades throughout school. I was a straight A student, and my worst grades were always Bs. This is my first time experiencing academic failure, and having that happen in college has been really difficult for me
For context my school has a lot of group projects and most of them has a big chunk of our total grade and its infuriating on how i always get the worst teammates possible . They’re not the stupid ones ( which i rather prefer ) but the lazy and uncooperative ones . They expect someone to always tell them what to do and what to start on which is often me because i desperately need a good mark and they will definitely not even start if i don’t . If i have a nickel every time i had to do corrections / do their part of the project the morning / night it‘s due , i would have over 20 of them ( i only did 20 projects ) so it’s every.single.time . I remind them to do it as often as i can because I’m also a relatively forgetful person but god they do not tell me they can’t do it until the last minute . i honestly just want to scream at them or even better just leave their part blank but unfortunately the teacher will grade us lower because we lack teamwork .
am i overreacting and i should just suck it up ??
I’m starting nursing this fall and I’m terrified that my high school habits are going to follow me.
I was a chronic procrastinator in high school. I’d leave month-long projects until the day before, constantly skip class, and regularly hand assignments in late. And that was with only 3–4 classes at a time.
Now I’m taking 15 credits a semester with notoriously difficult courses, and the stakes are MUCH higher. I genuinely want to change, but I’m scared that wanting to change won’t be enough and I’ll end up doing so badly that I’m put on academic probation or worse.
Has anyone here been really bad at procrastinating in high school but actually managed to overcome it in university? What actually did it for you, besides “I just stopped procrastinating”? Did something specific force/change your habits?
Hello everyone,
I'm new to the US high school system and am entering Junior Year. I wanna do something in finance. What AP's do I take in these 2 years to help me the most.
(Shifting from India so had a very diff curriculum)
A few which I am planning to take over these 2 years are:
AP Eng Lang
AP Stats
AP CSA
APUSH(cuz I like history)
AP CALC AB/BC (next yr prolly)
I wanted to take eco but my school doesn't offer it, what other ap's should I add tto this lineup? And is this good enough?
Final question should I self study WH as I love history and was keen on doing it but school doesn't offer it
Any other advice is happily taken.
Thanks.
I'm 16 and soon to go into college, and I'm still unsure of what to do.
I would like to pursue a career in history, but my parents tell me to be realistic.
I don't blame them- most history related jobs lead into teaching (which I don't want to do).
A few of their friends decided to do history in college as well, and they ended up working in retail supermarkets.
I've chosen to do a science course, and my parents agree with that, but I'm scared I will regret it.
I have no passion for science and I truly love history and would love to find a career in anthropology, but I need to be realistic.
I don't want to regret having a job I hate but I also don't want to regret spending thousands of pounds in university only for there to be no jobs in history.
What should I do?
I’ve been friends with my friends since 7th-8th grade, we are now in 11th. We are super close and call every day and hang out every day. I’ve been getting nervous that after graduation we are going to split up. Can anybody tell me if they’re still friends with their high school/ middle school friend group, and if no why did they distance
So yesterday I had my first AP Chem quiz, I studied for it beforehand and I felt a little anxious for it. It’s timed, RIGHT when I clicked the begin button I started to have REALLY bad cramps in my stomach (I ended up checking out half into the school day) . But I didn’t know what to do and I’m still rlly mad at myself for not telling the teacher during the quiz. I ended up selecting random answers for almost all of them. I saw my grade today (Saturday) and got a 20 percent this is actually like a nightmare. Is it too late to tell the teacher and will she even believe me? Someone pls help.
Hello! I'm not in university yet, but I'm wondering how people take pre-lecture, and lecture notes properly? I'd just like to be prepared before university begins. (I also take notes on my ipad, with my apple keyboard. I have a 4.0 gpa right now with this so I'd like to continue using digital notes.) I want to go to university to get my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) ^^ Thank you!
Hi guys I am a rising senior 17 years old, and just about to start college aps, and I just had a huge fight with my parents about my future, resulting into me wanting to turn my life around and do what I am passionate about, and not what my parents want from me. I've been doing computer science my entire life, but I really want to become a Pediatrician. Can anyone give me advice what I should do now, where I should start, and what to do with my future? I am so lost and don't know anything, and I'm really stressed, but I'm willing to work really hard.
