can u get your parents to take u to see a psych? it doesnt sound likely from what youve said

maybe if u told them it would improve your grades?

I think if i did that they'd laugh at me
(Even though my aunty is a psychologist bro - SHE'S MEGA SCARY THOUGH)

Believe me i've asked.

 

[Study to success]

I just feel like I've put so much of my self worth on my grades and stuff so that I can like compete with the rest of my friends and not feel dumb but I feel like I need to stop cause it's actually really bad for my mental health. Idk I just feel like without doing well at school I don't really have anything else to make me feel worthy cause like everyone puts so much importance on school nd stuff and how it is the path to success when it isn't

They're gonna tell me i'm using mental health as an excuse for bad grades bro i swear- And i'm not trying to use it as an 'excuse' but i just want a break-

just take a break over the holidays and recharge. I also need a break so that I can reset my mind and I can go into the new term with a fresh mind cause if I continue with this I am not going to make it through year 12

That's valid though- however there are other things that validate you other than grades and your friends are probably doing things to help them cope or getting extra help without telling you-

Have you spoken to any of your teachers or a counsellor? Does your school have student support?

wdym by student support

I can't take a break my parents are gonna pressure me- if i'm not doing anything i'm gonna be slammed for not using this 'ever so valuable' time for study because of the shit grades i got this term.

idk but I feel like their just smart. Like if I had some sort of natural aptitude towards school I would be much better off cause at least I wouldn't feel dumb compared to the rest of my grade

Did u tell ur parents ur grades. But try to do something fun too. Like they need to understand burnout and ike they shouldn't be pressuring u that much

 

[ellurbee]

Did u tell ur parents ur grades

I haven't told them my 2 recent ones after i told them my max results cause of the way they reacted then. I'm rlly scared but like oh well-

definitely take a break, thing is, ya'll are putting in so much effort now (in year 11) when it barely counts to anything in the future. sure, maybe your report looks nice or wtv, or you get early entry into some uni, but really it doesn't matter. you will undoubtedly burn out and crash by the end of the year, please take a chill pill if your parents don't agree put them on here i'll talk some sense into them because forcibly locking in THIS HARD for ranks and grades that are ERASED in year 12 hsc is unsustainable and not smart in the long term.

But honestly I haven't really being putting that much effort in due to my poor mental health but I've just gotten my self esteem so destroyed that I've just lost hope

Guys what do we think- tell my parents my marks or wait until they figure out i've been hiding it from them...

like how do you think they would react based on experience?

I would just hide it from them depending on their reaction. Like I plan to just let them know my ranks when reports come out so like if I get a bad rank I can just say that everyone else just did better but my marks wasn’t that bad

 

[Bendwhat?_over]

Teachers are shit and selfish (except for one but i don't want her to worry cause she'll call my parents)
We have a school counsellor but she's new and doesn't have a reputation yet -but idk man my parents bloody know everything and will find out
And no we don't have student support.

School counsellors are legally required to keep information confidential unless the student expresses otherwise, or the student is in danger of harming themself or others.

Apparently someone in my school tried to book an appointment with the school counsellor and it took her a week to reply to her email

in my school the old counsellor was so messed up they had to fire her and her license was suspended for a while (dont want to say the story here )
