Teens/Adolescent help? How to deal with the stress?? (is this normal for stress?)?

Where to start....ok, I'll start with (and only mention) what made me lose it tonight. I suck at math this year, so I've signed on for an online tutor. This hasn't been helping, and I feel really guilty because: 1. I need good grades for any hope of passing the SSATs and getting a scholorship for a private high school and 2. I feel really guilty that I'm doing bad because money has to be wasted for somethng that I cannot understand! I had problems with my homework (even with the tutor) and my brother said I was being bitchy and there were less than 10 minutes left in our session and we had done basically nothing! I said that I gave up and locked myself in my room because I feel so bad that I can't get this or change my grades (they just keep getting worse! I actually got an ';F'; on last week's quiz). My coach (sports coach/program helps us with school) says ';public school isn't an option'; when I told her I was considering public school (what if I don't get financial aid? Or if I tank the SSATs?) because it's too much stress- and I told her that just before she told me to continue for private school!



What really scares me is that I was in the bathroom a few minutes (15?) later and looked in the mirror and started shaking and was on the verge of tears (I actually did cry while locked in my room) thinking I won't be able to change.



I'm being pressured to do so many things right now and so much is expected from me that I don't know and actually think it's going to lead to be breaking down! (Not just doing good at math. I also have to study packets for SSATs, have an interview on Monday, project due that day, I currently have friend issues, and more...)





Please, have any of you experienced anything at all like this? How did you help solve it? I don't want to end up too pressured from this or have this lead to too much.Teens/Adolescent help? How to deal with the stress?? (is this normal for stress?)?
Okay.............YOU'RE pressurizing yourself. Nobody can make you feel pressure but you!!! So..............let it go!!! Go outside and scream, run around the block, yell into a pillow, write some stuff into a journal, do some exercises, dance, attend a concert.

You have to let some pressure off or you're going get high blood pressure, health problems happening, headaches, etc.

Your whole life is going to have stressors in it. Everything you do from getting a job, to having a child, to paying bills, to attending universities, to having a boyfriend/husband, having mechanical problems in the house (furnace, stove, washing machine). Start learning to manage the stress now. The most important thing is to exersize. That helps release the endorphins in the body which create many health issues inside of you.

Remember, YOU are the only one creating stress. There really isn't such thing as stress actually. It's just something you think you should have...worry!!! You don't need to worry. you try your best, you work hard, it will all work out for you.

I am going through what you are going through right now. Except my SATs are next year, but I have club meetings, babysitting, and a gazillion pounds of homework to do. Especially AP World History, cause that class is soo frikking hard and my mom wants me to get at least a B in that class which I do right now, but it's close to a C and it's driving me insane. Sometimes, it feels like the day isn't even enough.



What to do? Well that's what I am trying to figure out too. I try to keep distractions away like Facebook or MySpace but sometimes that's hard for me. Another helpful tip is to start your homework the moment you get home, cause the earlier you start, the more time you would have to relax. Also, try to take 5 minute breaks every hour when doing school work. It helps a lot, like going outside for a while or eating a snack is a really good refresh. School's pretty tough today and teachers cram us with homework.

Also if you still dont get the math, you may want to ask your tutor to teach it better, cause it doesnt hurt to ask. Or find a way to learn it.



Good luck! Remember, you're not the only one going through this! =))
Im a teen thats why i feel mad lazy to read your novel.



But dont worry we all feel stress, depress, and a random of emotions that not even we can explain
