I try so hard to do well in school. So so hard. I used to be the gifted student. I was going places. But I started getting worse, and worse, and worse. It started when I was 12, after some traumatic shit. Iāve had 14 sucide attempts in my life. I canāt even kll myself right. I went to treatment for a year. I healed, and came out a new person. It was a lot of work, and I did really good. Iām better now?
But something I canāt change is my brain. I will never be smarter. Iām 17, and a junior in high school. Iāve known what I was going to do in life since elementary school. I would be a pediatric nurse practitioner in intensive care. Everything I did academically would lead me there. I was dedicated to it.
But now, as Iām getting closer to graduating, Iām realizing Iām never going to be able to do this. My academic advisor said unless I do an entire YEARS worth of algebra 2 in the next 3 weeks I will never be college ready. I donāt have enough credits to graduate distinguished, because my fuck-ass treatment place didnāt do credit transfers right. Iāve been doing online credit makeup, and itās destroying me. Iāve been pulling all nighters studying. Along with going to a public school for the first time, and having no study periods.
I also have learning disability called dysgraphia, which makes math really hard for me. I had a geometry class online, and I needed to complete it to graduate. It was a year class; and I had 3 months to complete it. The class itself is $250, and I needed tutoring because I was failing. Thatās another $650. My parents really wanted me to succeed with this. I studied day and night. Crying and crying. I had 10 hours of tutoring a week.
I finally took the test. I failed. It was horrible. My academic advisor said I could do the re-take. She said if I didnāt pass the retake, I may get held back. I get no support with this school. My friend said that the week before I started they put up a bunch of suicide awareness posters that were never there š.
I payed $50 for the retake. This past 2 weeks Iāve slept less than 6 hours every night. I have to wake up at 5:45, because i take the bus and so I have to walk to the bus pick up (my parents donāt wake up in the morning). Iām doing horrible. The only thing Iāve got is that Iām 8-months self harm free on February 18th. I donāt know if I can make it.
Yesterday, I took the test. I had been studying so hard. Iāve taken the both practice testers SIX TIMES just to confirm I know the material. The test was online, and 4 1/2 hours long. I also have ADHD, so it was especially hard. I thought I did good.
This morning I woke up, checked my email, and I failed. I got a 69. I needed a 70 to pass. I broke into tears. I canāt fucking win. Iām the stupidest person I know. Nobody will admit it. I canāt do the retake. The only option I have is to retake the class. This time, because the school wonāt help pay, it will be $500. I have 2 months. Also, I have a 504 but it dosent work with the credit program.
So yeah, Iām done. I was ignorant for thinking I could do something like that. Nobody knows how bad it is for me right now. Because I ātried my hardestā. Who gives a fuck. Iām a peice of shit. Might as well give up.
