The girls on that team know that and whenever I mess up they start yelling at me and telling me what I'm doing wrong. It's really annoying and makes me wish I wasn't on that team anymore.

as someone whose main read: only strength in basetball is defense and passing ig, I sadly relate. That's so annoying, but I'm sure you're handling it well. Handling the situation with grace and civility is probably going to get riled up since they'd expect you to lash out/retaliate with rudeness. Kill 'em with kindness, Mads! And good luck in your basketball ventures!

My math teacher is srsly gonna be the death of me. She keeps giving us tests but never teaches, I feel like I’m wasting my time even studying cause it never works. Yesterday we had a test and most of which we never even learned cause she doesn’t teach and most people got between 2/14 or 5/14, some did better or worse. Now cause of that, we’re all re-testing, plus she already had two tests scheduled. We only have like one week left of school and ofc she has to pack it with 3 test like come on. It’s stressing me out so much, I’m doing my best and taking time out of my own busy life and it really seems like for nothing

I'm sorry, that sucks! sometimes teachers don't realize that tests don't help you learn much, so they don't teach.

My teachers really strict too, maybe you should explain this to some friends, and write an anonymus letter to her. Or tell her, but not direrectly, like if she tells you about the teat, ask her if you should be knowing this stuff or you should be studying at home. Maybe that will kinda tell her to maybe teach more.

Everyone knows. Everyone hates her for it, tons and tons of kids have gone to the principal bout it. No matter what we seem to say to her it never works, we jus call end up getting lectured bout it.

It’s Christmas time now and I’m so overwhelmed and overworked. Like I feel like I have no time for myself anymore I’m soooo busy. And my friends who have been friends since they were 5 stopped being friends recently and I’m like freaking out bc I’m like idk what to do for Christmas all my friends are asking me and I’m like idfk! Like I’m just so done with everything! It’s so much! Like I’m so sick of school everyday I go and it’s just boring. I’m so happy for Christmas break and I finally get to slow down. But I also feel like I don’t know how to slow down and I wanna be constantly doing things but buy doing that I’m overworking myself. I’m also like barely eating which I know isn’t good at all but I just don’t when the motivation to. Like every time I go to eat I feel guilty about it and stop eating and then when I do eat a bunch of junk I don’t eat like anything the next two days. And Ik I shouldn’t starve myself but like idk what to do I’m so Fing stressed and I just can’t deal with it! I know I should be happy because it’s Christmas! I have a concert coming up! Yay! But like I can’t stop thinking about everything wrong! Like my brain won’t stop. It’s just constant like I can’t deal with this anymore. It’s si much I’m also trying hard in school while worrying about everything else and trying to clean my house so we can sell it and don’t go broke because we only have one income for 3 of us and like idk how to do it any more. There more to this as well but it might be against guidelines so I won’t say it.

I recently had to leave a summer job that I was really excited for, for multiple reasons but the final straw was feeling borderline gaslit and and taken advantage of. It sucks, though at least I still have a day job, but the summer job was for one of those gourmet popcorn places and it's such a cool thing to have locally.

It is a shame that you had to leave your summer job, although I believe you made the right decision. Gaslighting your co-workers is an awful thing and they do not deserve to work with you. I believe that you will eventually find an even cooler job and that you will have even more fun! Just keep searching. You can do it!

i get back to school on wednesday but im so not excited because none of my friends are in any of my classes and we barely even have time together at lunch (30 min??) also my history teacher is the absolute worst, and i used to love history but he barely even teaches… so now I can’t talk to anyone in any of my classes and I still need to finish three books for school ughhhhh
