Fatma, I’m eighteen now, and i felt the exact same way during high school (I graduated in 2015). The way that I found to get through was spending more time with my best friend. I tried to laugh, even when the class was boring, or find something who could keep me more excited about the idea of going to school. I know it’s not the easiest thing ever. In most of the times, I found that in a friend, or a teacher that I really liked. When I was 16, I also had the same feeling: being a teenager seems way better on the movies and tv series. But is hard, and we feel like our pain and high school is going to last forever. But it isn’t. Life after hight school is full of new things. But for now, try to take it day by day, and minute by minute. <3

Hi Fatma,

Thanks so much for writing this! What you’ve written really hits close to home. At school I am too always really anxious, nervous and just generally on edge. Today was another hard day so It was really nice to read this.

Thanks again for this! I really needed it :)

  Hi Lilly!
  
  Remember that we are all going through things in our lives and we may not think this, but our small thoughts about the things that happen to us in our lives are going through so many heads of other people too. We can do this and show school who’s boss aha have a great week!
