It just looks too tempting.
But I'm too scared to do it, so I probably won't.
That's just what I am.
Too afraid.
I think I'll just go to the quiet place project.
Maybe it'll help.

hey alice. please don't, i don't know you as well, but i'll miss you tons if you do. i know it's cheesy, but it gets better. in seventh grade i was determined to kill myself by eighth grade. im now going to ninth grade and im so glad im alive. it will take a long time to get better, but its something to look forward to.

edit: the quiet place project does help !! try the comfort spot too (:

also if anyone was quoting my original message can u unquote pls.

im glad you're trying to help yourself :-) stay strong! <3



that goes for all the rest of you too!

Does anyone else feel unnaturally stressed? Especially over the summer? I feel like I get way too stressed over little things. Like, for my summer homework I have my summer reading for English but I'm also taking AP US History next year so I have a big assignment for that (I have to read 5 chapters in the text book and do packets on them, read The Jungle, and watch 3 hour long videos). So far I completed my summer reading and I've done about 3 of the chapters in the text book. So now I'm stressing so much because I only have less than a month left to finish it and over the summer I have such a short attention span when it comes to homework so I can't just do it all in a week like some of my friends did and I'm worried that I'm not going to finish it or that it will be the week before school starts and I'll be cramming to do all the homework.

And then I'm taking music lessons (because apparently you have to take private lessons if you play the oboe) so I always get really stressed about that because I have to practice the exercises my teacher gives me but now I'm also learning to make reeds so I have to do the reed work as well and my teacher is super nice but I'm always afraid that if I don't practice enough then she's going to yell at me. My lessons are on Tuesdays and right now it's Thursday and I'm already stressing that I won't have my assignments done in time for my lesson.

I just want to know if anyone else feels this way. Or if I'm just weird in that I freak out over due dates so much.

Yeah I do too, I'm back at school and all my upcoming assignments I've finished but I'm still really stressed for no reason.

Also, 1) what's a packet? And 2) why do you guys get summer homework? Like, the two years aren't connected, how do you get HW for a subject you aren't doing yet?

1) A packet is just a bunch of papers stapled together. A booklet. I have one that I have to complete with questions about the chapters I have to read.

2) For English, we always have to do summer reading. We just have a choice of books to read and we have to pick one and read it and fill out a page on it. Then we usually have a book talk at the beginning of the year (this year I think we have to write an essay on it). But I'm taking an AP class, which is basically a college-level class but you're taking it in high school, so we have to do work prior to starting the class because there isn't enough time in the school year to cover all of it. We have to read the first five chapters of the textbook because in school we will be starting at the sixth chapter. It's just to give us background knowledge so we don't start the class completely clueless.
