OOC Come be Comforted! <3

My exam is coming up but I can't do well at all. My family is not helping with this issue. They say, "Why don't you study harder?" I'm about to lose my mind

Try playing a study game, or if that doesn't work, just study at your own leisure. If you don't want to, that's fine! If you feel like the world will end if you don't study, that's ok too! If you've forgotten almost evrything, I suggest looking over notes of everything you've learned if you have them/can. Or, ask your teacher/professor for help!

There are several out there, one of my favorites being Gimkit. It has several game modes to choose from, and you can either make a "kit" set of questions or search for one that has what you're studying!
Others include:
Blooket- Similar to gimkit, just less modes/more fun with groups
Kahoot- played with groups, answer questions to gain points.
Quizizz- similar to kahoot, but there are power ups, as well as little characters you can customize
Quizlet?- Flashcards/quizzesI don't know as much about this one.

To add to the Quizlet thing since I used it for my studying. It is basically where you make a flash card set that you can go through. It has programs where you can play games that help you memorize the material easily and quickly. I’ve always found it a great tool to help me remember everything when my exams come up.

All anyone can ever expect of you is your best!! So try and ignore what your family are saying, and just try as hard as you can. And the most important thing is that you look after you and your mental health. If you ever feel like you need to talk to someone, my owls are open

Also my not-so-fancy study method:
Usually before a test, I write out a ‘cheat sheet’ which I then just go through each section and try and memorize/make sure I understand, before I get a person to quiz me on the whole thing!:wise: It works for me for science and math…

I hurt a really nice person, badly. Some people on site triggered my irl insecurities, making me hurt a really nice person. It ended badly and i really miss them

I'm so sorry to hear that it ended badly! It's not your fault that you were upset about something and unintentionally hurt that person badly, it sounds like someone you really care about I know there isn't much that can be done, as things like that take time, but would apologizing to them help? Can I help you and/or that person feel better?

I can only imagine how you feel. It’s horrible when things like this happen. I remember when I was pretty young, I had a friend I was really close to. One day something happened. It was so long ago that I can’t remember what it was, but for a long time she wouldn’t even come near me or talk to me. It really hurt because she was my closest friend at the time. I didn’t know what had happened or if I had done something. About a week or two passed and she still wouldn’t even speak to me. Our teacher eventually noticed and asked us what was wrong. My friend explained the situation and the teacher let us go. It was still a few days before she finally started talking to me again. I don’t really know that girl anymore and haven’t seen her in years, but I will always remember her. My point is that some things take time. Someday I’m sure this friend will not be angry anymore. I’ll be praying for you!

A few helpful study methods other than games:
1. Review all study material and then set a timer and write down what you can remember. Once the timer ends, review what you forgot and restudy that material. Repeat until you feel confident or until you run out of time.
2. Teach the subject that you’re learning. You can’t teach something you don’t understand! Pretend to present a presentation, hands-on demos or whatever works for you.

Aw, I’m sorry this happened. I know it will hurt no matter what I say, but remember that things will eventually fade and this could also be used as a learning opportunity! Sometimes situations like this can give you great takeaways that grow you as a person. Just remember you’re allowed to feel hurt no matter how much you feel guilty
