So Dumb

---

I'm a bit confused right now (well that's not unusual) but moreso than usual. The past weeks I've been staying up till the AMs due to all the exams and papers for prison I mean school. Don't really get a day off. Weekdays I wake at 6, Saturdays at 8 for "work", and Sundays at 6 for church. If I could afford to sleep for days I would. There's this paper I have to write not for school but for some contest that my parents aremaking me do. The chem teach has given us something similar but different... My parents made this whole deal about it so Thursday I didn't finish till 3 am and my sister went over it today since she's so perfect. I thought... THOUGHT I did well. Obviously I didn't and you know what she said? She said it was "crap". Rude much? Yes. 3 am. And it's...crap. So she tells me all the problems with it and nobody likes to be corrected but when I say I don't understand my mom yells at me... why is she yelling first of all? Because I don't get it? I feel extremely dumb, stupid, and air headed right now. Really just confused. Academically challenged. I don't know what they're saying. I'm not on college level which is what is expected of me. I had these water things fall from my eyes and I got yelled at for that. Scratched the skin off my leg (by accident) and got yelled at for that. I guess because I acted this way I can't think straight. I didn't think it's that serious but they bring up the whole "you're a black girl in America" speech. I hate that speech. 21st century guys not 1800s. It just... it stinks being stupid.

Oh and I stink at writing. I write stories and scripts but not things that are forced. I can't write for my life. :frowning:

It sounds like you need sleep

Yeah definetly need sleep. Maybe you can stick up for yourself more? Your parents are really hard on you!And hun if you ever need help with someone looking over a paper or anything.. thats my expertise.. I aways get in the 90% range whenever I do an essay or report.. so send it my way and I'd be glad to help

Thanks a bunch. =)

I guess it is sleep but my parents are questionable. I'm tired (literally) of being yelled at for the simplest of things and pressured to do things as if the weight of he world is on me. I just want to relax. I mean I get hit for talking back which I guess it expected since it's wrong but you know.... too many nights sent to be bed crying. I'm tired of people.

Maybe you can hit up the library one day at lunch and then you can go to bed a bit earlier? Take a night off of school.. go out with the girls.. or just have some fun. I think you need some time away from stress

I could try that but the thing with me is I sometimes procrastinate. Right after school my friends and I hit the galleria or something. I'll start my homework at around 5 or earlier but it takes me forever and I won't finish till 10. Then comes the studying and papers lol.EDIT: No, no, no. This time I'm positive my parents are trying to piss me off because my mom is still yelling. God, why?

The best thing I can think of would be to just skip school a day (Mondays and Fridays are the best-3 day weekend). Just tell your parents that you feel really bad, if they don't buy that then tell them that you just need a day off. If they're still not going to let it slide, then I think it might be time to sit your parents down for a little chat and explain to them the situation and how you're feeling about things (it sounds like it needs to happen regardless of whether or not it's over missing a day of school).

What the hell is this , kindergarten ? ( hehehe )
Goddamit don't do y'er homework and skip school the next day. Go to the library and TAKE A NAP THERE.

My experience from school is that if work requires you to stay up late then its not worth doing, nor if it requires you to miss out on hanging out with your friends for substantial amount of your week. I got A's and B's for my exams.Work when it suits you, you'll be more efficient as a result.

Yeah except if you miss a day of school the day you go back you're way behind. Not to mention the guilt trip. I'll try going to bed early today.

haha, now this sounds like MY averege day...ya, let me guess "You can do better than this!" is their favorite line?! Ya this happens to me all the time...and I'm actually a really good student, but sometimes I just don't feel like doing something and just wanna hang out or whatever, but then they get all mad. So I stay up late all the time too, so I can do my work and hang out with friends, etc.... It really anoys me, and I'm sorry but the truth is, your parents are not gonna be more understanding, some will say it's cause they love, and some will say it's cause live is cruel, but they will always expect 200% from. That's the way it is(depends on parents, but your parents sound a lot like mine).

Oh dont get me wrong, I wasnt advocating truency, I was talking in relation to home work.
