Okay, I have a problem concerning school. It's taking over everything! How I feel, what I do with my time!
First off, the school work. It was okay. But now I'm in year 9 it's much more difficult and stressfull. I was good at some lessons but now I have trouble understanding it. For example, I was never good at science but in year 8 I improved..alot..it surprised me actually but now in my old science class (we swap during the terms)-it was chemistry- we did this test. My sister got a Level 7 (high) and he warned us SOME people had level 5 (low) and most had got Level 6 (average). I got a level 5 I didn't remember learning most of it! I'm in set 2 for science.
In geography I'm struggling big time and will hopefully be put down next term. I am in set 1 (highest set) and we are doing year 10 and 11 work! I can't do it, it's too hard!
In history we recently did an assesment, I will tell you how I did in that when I get the results. It was on WW1 and the trenches. I really had to research for that as in lessons I still find that it's a little hard because I don't sit next to anyone I can ask to help me. And the teacher always talks to other pupils so it's hard to concentrate.
In maths we have a test tommorow and I find I forget everything I've learned! I miss out questions I don't get in the practise h/w and when I start to understand I forget again!
Homework
I can't stand it! There's too much of it! Teachers set it for the sake of it! And if it's finishing hw and it's one of the lessons I don't get I find it hard to finish it ALL! I always find time eventually but if I put it off I worry about it. I feel like I don't have time to myself. Too many teachers set hw on the same day even though we've got a timetable and I can't even look forward to going home because of all this extra work I've got to do AFTER school. I may sound like I'm moaning but it's so stressful.
The People!
Shall I describe my day to you? Well, I got up and walked to school on my own seeing as my younger best friend didn't bother to call for me AGAIN. (we used to walk together). So I walked down on my own listening to my mp3 then I met her with my other friend half way. (according to him she didn't want to call for me). Also, I recently moved and am having trouble with friends but I'll keep to what I'm saying at the moment. We walked the rest of the way together and when we were nearly at the school some guys behind us decided it would be funny to throw acorns at us! One hit me right on the back and all I did was say, "OW," sarcastically. But they always do that to us! Not just them, mostly older dudes that think they're really cool.
Anyway the teachers aren't any better. Some threaten with abusive language like, "Or I'll have to hit you over the head," or something. Mostly they're teasing but some say it to act strict
And today Roberta (my other mate), my sister and I were struggling in our wood work lesson and we asked the teacher for help (like after 30 minutes of saying 'sir! sir!') then he said, "You're only on that after half an hour!" in a rude way. Then he took mine and Roberta's wood work and didn't shy away from describing how crap they were. Then he mocked me because I drew my line in the wrong place. He was like, "Oh this must be centre so I'll draw this on the top," in a stupid way because I got it wrong. I instantly felt a dislike for him. He was being so rude!
On the way back today Abi (friend who didn't call for me) always takes my other mp3 earphone when we're walking home which annoys me sometimes. We went to the shop on the way back and I was lending Alex (other friend) some money to get us some food. Abi ALWAYS asked for money when I was in year 8 last year and NEVER payed it back so I resisted giving her the 1.50 euros she asked for. But eventually I gave in and she bought herself a drink which pissed me off because I always bought her stuff. Alex will pay me back but we are unsure whether Abi will or not though she better! Sometimes I feel like my friends don't like me at all.
Oh yeah, and I got called a boffin today. Boffin is an English word for scientist but is often used instead of the term 'geek' here. I was offended by that especially as I am struggling in lessons. All the boys are immature and rude and annoying.
My school really depresses me and I have to go to it every day (apart from weekends!) I may just sound like I'm really lazy and moaning about nothing here but it really does upset me. It knocks down my confidence and I am really quiet at school so people make fun of me. Does anyone have a little advice that can get me through the week? {sorry for the length of this}
