The high school is a key school with a very low pass rate. I don't know what to do if I want to take a break from school. By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

I don't want to go to school today, tomorrow, yesterday, or the day after that. My parents don't agree.

My teacher didn't say anything. My doctor told me to speak up for myself.

I'm so confused. With my current grades, I get over 20 points in every subject, and everyone looks at me differently.

Everyone ignores me and isolates me, and I'm also confused and don't know what to do.

Hello, my child. I'm here to give you a hug and some warmth and support. I also hope that my answer can help you in some way.

It seems like you've had a rough time at school recently. You're not feeling motivated to go, but your parents are pushing you to keep going. The teacher hasn't said anything, and the doctor told you to speak for yourself. It seems like you're caught between wanting to give up and feeling like you have to keep pushing through. You're also feeling a bit lost about your grades. It feels like everyone is comparing you unfavorably, and you're feeling isolated. You're feeling a bit overwhelmed and unsure of what to do. I can imagine it's really tough for you right now. It's not easy to bear so much pressure, and there's also the pressure of learning itself. I'm not sure if there are people around you who understand what you're going through.

Do you have someone you can talk to about how you're feeling? Is there a way you can let go of some of this pressure?

Is there any way we can help you find a little happiness at school? And in terms of your studies, is there anything we can do to help you regain some confidence?

What are your long-term plans for the future? If you were to take a break from school and stay at home, what would you do?

It's clear that going to school now requires a lot of courage from you. And taking a break from school can actually avoid a lot of trouble. But are these troubles really not there? We all have a timid side and a brave side. Maybe right now, because of the constant setbacks at school, the timid side is more dominant. This side is actually protecting you, and we need to see it and be grateful for it. At the same time, we also need to see that we have a brave side. We need to grow, and are you willing to let your brave side become more and more? When your brave side becomes more and more, and you dare to face setbacks at school and troubles in interpersonal relationships, this will also make others look at you differently (this is a positive attitude, or you can say it is a new perspective).

My advice to you is:

It's tough for you to accept and understand yourself.

I try to put myself in your shoes. If I were you, I don't think I could be as brave as you. Now, in the face of such a predicament, you still insist on going to school, which is really not easy. I know you also hope that you can excel in your studies, be popular at school, be recognized by your teachers, be loved by your parents, and be understood by your classmates. But there's a gap between reality and ideals. You've tried very hard, but you haven't gotten the results you want. Others don't understand you because they may only look at the results. We all have our own position and perspective, but we need to accept and understand ourselves, see our own efforts and dedication, see how hard it is for us, and see the positive side of ourselves. We're not worthless, but we also have our own bright spots.

2. Take some of the pressure off. You don't have to take on more than you can handle. Just do the part you can do well. Look for some positive things at school and remind yourself of your value.

Teachers have their own pressures, classmates have their own perspectives, and parents have their own concerns. That's their business. As for you, the only thing you can do is to do the best you can and not take on unnecessary pressures. For example, in terms of studies, what you can do is to focus on the learning process every day, attend classes, do the homework you know how to do, and abide by the relevant school regulations, without worrying about the results. As for the rest, you don't need to think too much about it, that is, the things that are beyond your ability. In fact, if you dwell on and worry about them, it will make you consume your limited energy. It's better to save the energy and do what you really need to do.

On top of that, you don't want to go to school because you get too much negative feedback and almost no positive feedback. If you can find some positive things about school, your attitude might change.

For instance, it's worth noting that your ability to attend school daily is something to be proud of. Don't take this for granted, but rather recognize your efforts and give yourself credit. Think about what you enjoy about school, whether it's the lunch, chatting with a friend, or having time to visit the psychologist. Try to identify as many positive aspects as you can to enhance your school experience. Don't place all your value on academic performance alone, as there are many factors that contribute to a person's success.

3. Make long-term plans for yourself based on your specific situation. Your life is not defined by the outside world. You can make your own choices and follow the path that suits you best.

While it's true that the goal of high school is to get into a good university, if you think about it from a longer-term perspective, the college entrance exam isn't the only way to decide your life path. There are many possibilities out there. Have you ever thought about what kind of person you want to be, regardless of your academic qualifications?

What kind of industry are you interested in? What do you enjoy doing?

I'd say these things are even more important than going to university. After all, we study and learn to realise our own value and contribute our own strength in society. But there's more to it than just going to a good university to realise your own value and live the life you want.

I'm sure you've heard many examples of people who were ultimately successful not because they went to a good university, but because they had innate talent and abilities. It's true that abilities are more important than academic qualifications. You might as well take a longer view and consider what kind of person you want to become. Then, what can you do for yourself now to become that kind of person?

We don't have to follow the crowd's path. We can choose a path that suits us better, make the most of our unique advantages, and realize our unique value.

4. If you still want to take the college entrance exam to get into the university you want, first accept and understand yourself, and then encourage and trust yourself. In terms of methods, learn to combine your actual situation, set learning goals that match your ability level, and give yourself positive feedback on your studies, so that you can gain motivation and fun in your studies.

If you're still aiming to pass the college entrance exam to get into your dream university, we can adjust in two ways. One is to accept and understand yourself in terms of attitude, and to encourage and trust yourself. The second is to create a specific learning plan based on your own situation in terms of learning methods and approaches.

First, don't beat yourself up over your poor grades. Believe that with your own hard work and adjustments, you can continuously improve your academic performance. First, give yourself understanding and acceptance, and believe in yourself, so that you can be more motivated to change. You must understand that people have development potential, and temporary setbacks do not mean that you will always be bad. When you find the right method, when you activate your inner motivation to learn, and experience the various benefits and fun that learning brings you, you will definitely get better and better.

I think the overall learning goals of the class may not be right for you. You need to set your own goals that match your learning level. This way, you can see where you're having trouble, what basic knowledge you need to review, and what you don't understand. You can break these down one by one, setting daily learning goals that match your ability level. This way, you won't waste time on unnecessary work. Our goal is to take the college entrance exam, so you can set specific goals that match your current learning level. These are things you can achieve with your own efforts. For example, a friend of mine in his senior year often scored in the low 20s in English. Later, he took all the English books from his freshman, sophomore, and junior years and studied them from beginning to end. He made a little progress every day. Later, in the college entrance exam, he scored over 120 points in English.

Keep up the good work and give yourself a pat on the back when you make progress, even if it's just a small step forward. And don't forget to celebrate every five points you get on the next exam!

Hello, question asker. I can see that you're feeling confused, and I want you to know that I'm here to support you.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to answer your questions.

You may be feeling that your grades are not as high as you would like and that you would benefit from a break from school if you continue at a key high school.

You are also feeling uncertain about your future.

You might also consider asking your teachers at the high school if they could help you catch up after class.

It might be helpful to consider that your low grades could be the result of an ineffective study approach.

It might be worth considering that you may not be suited to studying in a regular high school environment.

I think it would be beneficial for you to have some hobbies.

You may wish to consider your interests and hobbies. If you feel that a regular high school is not the right fit for you, you might like to explore the option of a vocational school.

You might also consider learning a trade at a vocational college, which could potentially support you financially after graduation.

If you're facing academic challenges, it's important to remember that high school is not the only option.

There are always other possibilities to consider.

It might be helpful to remember that there are often more than three options available for any given situation.

In short, it's always worth exploring the possibility that there are more solutions than problems.

I truly hope that the issue you're currently facing can be resolved as soon as possible.

At this moment, I am only able to think of the above.

I hope my above answer is helpful and inspiring to you, the questioner. I am the answerer, and I try my best to study hard every day.

I would like to extend my best wishes to you and the world at Yixinli.

I hope this message finds you well. I just wanted to drop you a quick line to see how you're doing. I'm sending you all my best wishes and hoping that this finds you in good spirits.

Diogenes Davis A teacher's ability to motivate students is a powerful engine that drives learning.

I understand how you feel. It's really tough when you're not feeling like going to school and facing pressure from different sides. Maybe it's time to have a honest talk with your parents and explain why you're feeling this way.

Sarah Miller The most difficult part of growth is getting out of your own way.

It sounds like you're going through a rough patch. The fact that your doctor suggested speaking up for yourself is important. Have you thought about what you want to say to express your feelings? It might help to write down your thoughts first.

Virgil Miller To practice honesty is to practice a noble art.

Feeling isolated can be incredibly hard, especially when you're already dealing with stress over school. It could be beneficial to reach out to a trusted friend or counselor who can offer support and maybe help you figure out the next steps.

Johnathan Miller The power of honesty can break down the strongest walls of distrust.

Everyone has those moments where they just don't want to face things. But it seems like there's more going on here. Since your grades are good, perhaps focusing on what you enjoy in school or finding a new interest could help improve your situation and make you feel less alone.
