Stressed and dont know what to do

Post Reply New Topic

I was told i need a vacation. i am a senior in high school and have everyone on my rear about homework. at home i have chores and i rarely get to see my friends. i smoke and that has helped a lot (not proud to say tho), but i ran out and I'm broke. any suggestions?

*note: don't give me "don't smoke" speeches. i know i shouldn't, nor do i promote smoking, its just what was handy when my stress was ouy of control and now I'm dealing with the results.

First off - smoking is DISGUSTING. But I loved it to death. Maybe a different type of stress reliever would be better? Do homework, get things done. I'm sure you'll feel better at night before you fall asleep thinking "Pff, I DID IT today. I did it. Everything is done for the day."
I know it can be hard, but look at it this way: high school will be over soon, and you can go on to study something you really like, and hopefully be more motivated. Rest. Take a break.

Good luck!

I lock up when people harass me about homework...its not a good thing to have happen...lol

Set up a routine. H.W. for x amount of minutes then destress (surf internet, watch t.v. take a walk) for equal amount of minutes. Maybe get a study buddy or friend to join you. I know you don't want people on your case to finish your h.w., but you will feel less stressed when the h.w. is done. If you really MUST smoke, then only do so after you have completed a major difficult assignment!! !! ! I can't condone smoking, especially at your age, but I'm willing to bet that the more people tell you to quit the more you want to smoke.
