Middle school is turning me into a stress mess!

I started junior high this year, and I find it very overwhelming. I don’t have time for all the things I love—boys, friends, shopping, etc. What can I do to get my life back and relax?

 

Dear Stress Mess,

You’re not alone, and I’m sorry you’re feeling stressed. Lots of hardworking people get overwhelmed because there isn’t enough time to do everything every day. But in the big scheme of things, there is enough time to do what matters. It’s just that you may have to study during the week, and flirt, chat and shop on weekends.

 

This doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy some daily rest and relaxation. You can! Give yourself daily kickback time—whether that means taking a bath, e-mailing friends, reading a novel, doing yoga, listening to music, yakking on the phone or walking your dog.

 

SERIOUS STUFF? For serious issues, don’t wait. Visit our HELP! page now.

School has been really tuff on me. Im really a straight A student but now I've be been getting all B's and I hate it. It's really bad for me because I've been acting out at school ,like I be been sad and ignoring my friends, and not paying attention to the teachers. I've been staying up late for the past few weeks. I've also got so much things to do at home. Over all I've just been slacking off, because all I want to do is relax, but I can't because I' just have so much things on my mind like school family friends. Crushes and it's all just tooooo much. PppLease can you help me????????

lately I have been very depressed... I used to have good grades ... I mean I still do but I am doing pretty bad in math.... I didn't do to good on a quiz and it's been bugging me to no end..... I think I'm in depression and Im too scared to tell anyone about it... I need help ... I feel that it's just not okay and everyone is gonna be all "wow, she didn't do well in school "... It's also been bugging me b/c the boys in my class think I'm so smart but I'm really just like them... I hate how they stereotype me and I'm fed up with them .... I need help... I'm sorry I sound so urgent but I need help immediately .... Please! Frown




If your grades arnt as good as you want then you need to spend more time making them better. Talk to your teacher about getting more help and put in the effort to bring up your grades. I promise youll feel way better if you do that. Good luck! xoxo kerra
