Needing life advice

illusxion April 4, 2019 10:16 pm

I know this isnt the place to post this but I really need some advice on what to do so sorry in advance.

Honestly I'm conflicted about posting this but here does nothing.
I'm at a place in my life where I just dont know what to do. I'm 15 almost 16 and feeling very conflicted. I'm homeschooled (online school) and I'm failing miserably. I used to go to public school and hated it, I switched around schools and I've always been shy and awkward to a point where it's terrible. I used to have friends but I just shut them all out and distance grew so I moved schools once again. I went to school with my cousin and felt like an outsider and like I was just following her around, often times when she would go with her other friends I was alone and it was miserable. It's hard for me to make friends because of how shy I am. So I tried homeschool but like I said I'm failing terribly. Me and my grandma used to be very close but now I feel like she hates me because I'm failing school. I dont want to repeat next year so I'm thinking of dropping out. My mom says it's ok but I just wanna make something out of myself. I have absolutely no friends and hardly ever leave the house. I feel like I'm losing all the people that are dear to me and idk what to do. Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated, thanks

    Why are you failing? Are you doing poorly on the assignments? Struggling to concentrate and stay focused?

    life is always hard and remember ur never alone according to what ive read from ur story ur quite an introverted person and ik its kinda hard for u but try to open up a bit to a few close people, go outside more and if u cant do it much atleast try and go out for walks and be self confident. ive failed alot too and ik the pain but do ur level best and things will change, ask for help if u need it and people will help u and if they dont it doesnt really matter cuz u can do alot even by yourself

    Im homeschooled too. What kind of study materials are you using? Online,paper,or both? The better thing about homeschooling is you dont HAVE to rush. I recommend staying on a subject until you understand, and if there are things your parents or grandparents can't understand, just look it up. There are plenty of explanation videos on YouTube or on some kind of learning website. KhanAcademy has plenty of resources to go through and has thorough explanations, and the best part is that it's free. Other paid websites like Time4learning and IXL are great if affordable. The worst thing to do is rush,just be calm and try your best. Good luck!

    Have you tried using Khan academy as an extra source? They post videos and stuff and it really helps me in school. If you do use it, I suggest for the videos to keep the captions on so it keeps you focused and reading. Idk but that helps me, so maybe check it out? Also I'm 16 and an IB student as well so if you need someone to talk to for help or anything just text me :)
