Oh my god i really hate this i really don’t want to go back to school. I don’t want to be there i don’t want to see these people. I just want to stay home all day and be stuck in my thoughts. I hate school so much i can’t wait for the holidays to come. I hate exams so much and i haven’t even started studying yet. This freaking sucks i hate this. I don’t wanna be here anymore. I just wanna sleep.
bro ik school sucks. but telling u as a freshman unc in some camp rn, the feeling of regret that I didn’t study harder is so overwhelming that I suggest you don’t get it too.
Dear @user1329
Thank you for writing in. I hear how frustrated and drained you are. It’s fully understandable when everything piles up and pressure builds up, for the mind to have thoughts such as “I don’t want to be here anymore”.
May I recommend to ground yourself to the present moment instead of being caught up in thoughts of trying to figure out everything about school. Focus on what is in your control in the present moment.
To ground yourself press your feet firmly on the ground and identify 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can touch, 2 things you can hear and 1 thing you can smell.
Next write down what tiny steps you can take to regain control. For example, can you read one paragraph of a topic? Breaking down what needs to be done into bite sized pieces will help you overcome inertia and build confidence.
Speak soon to a school counsellor on what you are experiencing. They are trained to listen with compassion and non judgmentally. They have encountered many students facing similar issues; hence they can help you get back on track and safety address thoughts such as “I don’t want to be here”. However if those thoughts continue and you need immediate assistance please reach out to the Samaritans of Singapore (1767).which operates 24/7. You don’t have to handle this alone.
Your life is precious and you deserve support. Please seek help soon.![]()
That’s honestly so real. School is just like a prison. But in order to be successful in life and figure out what you wanna do, school will provide ideas and help you figure out what you wanna do in your near future. I’ve been struggling to find what I wanna do but I’m not gonna give up, and nor should you
