Hello, friend! I'm sending you a big, warm hug, hoping it'll help you forget your troubles for a little while.
It's totally normal to feel stressed when you're facing the difficulties of life, especially as a high school student. We not only have our parents and teachers expecting a lot from us, but we also have to deal with the pressure from our competitors. Sometimes we have to deal with the blow of grades, various kinds of belittling, comparisons, and the guilt within.
So, after reading this, please give yourself a hug too! You deserve it!
Secondly, I'd like to say that we can't choose our family. It's something that is born to us, and we have no choice. But the good news is that we can choose to improve and enhance ourselves!
If you come from a single-parent family, you might feel like you don't get as much love from your parents as your friends do. It's totally normal to feel like you have to take care of yourself more. When you see that there's a gap between families and you're not doing as well academically, it's okay to feel a little inferior. It's natural to feel afraid of going to school.
But if you think about it from another perspective, you are also living a serious life, studying hard, and caring about your future, aren't you? You may not be able to change your current environment, but you can try to escape from it. I know it can be tough, but you've got this!
We are born into this world, and I truly believe that the most important thing is to love and please ourselves. When faced with a lack of understanding from our parents, we have the option to communicate, ask for help from others, or write a letter to express our demands.
But if parents still choose to ignore it, like parents who can't send their blessings when our grades improve, we can give ourselves a small reward, such as buying a favorite action figure or giving ourselves a lollipop. If parents can't remember my birthday, but I can give myself a gift or hang out with friends; because we will eventually leave our parents and face the difficulties of life alone. What is family? The most basic element is family.
So, when there are conflicts in the family, it's important to remember that one person can't maintain it for a long time.
I just want to say that everything is going to be okay! You can get through anything. It doesn't matter if your classmates compare you to others or if there are people in the art class whose families are more privileged. They'll all become just passers-by, while you remain the star of your own world.
Love yourself, please yourself, and don't forget to compare yourself to others! Make progress every day. Live a serious, positive, and proactive life. Do your best when you want to do something, and take things seriously when you can't choose.
We all make mistakes, and that's okay! When you make a mistake, admit it and correct it. When you encounter a surprise, praise and reward yourself. Everything will slowly get better. There are still many joys and sorrows in life waiting for you to discover.
I really hope my words have put a smile on your face!

I can totally relate, life sometimes doesn't go as planned and it's disappointing when you can't make it to school.
Despite all efforts, things didn't work out and I had to miss school, it's a tough situation to be in.
It's really frustrating when circumstances prevent you from attending school, even when you're eager to go.
Missing school was unavoidable for me too, no matter how much I wished otherwise, it just couldn't happen.
