I'm very glad.
Bakura_fan... I know that high school is very difficult. I went through it and I wouldn't really wish it on anyone.
But the point is -- I went
through it. I got through it! So can you.
One thing that helped me when I was severely stressed out was to think about all the people that got through it, and survived, and are fine now -- even happy. Even if you get bad grades, and your parents yell at you, and things suck for a while -- even if all that happens, you will get through it and come out okay on the other side. It may be unpleasant for a time, but it's only temporary.
There were times when I didn't know how I was going to do it. Everything was so overwhelming... but it was like God held my hand and helped me through. You may not do everything perfect, but that's okay -- Guess what? You're human. No one is perfect, no one can please everyone, no one can do everything. So take it one step at a time, in small chunks, so that you don't get overwhelmed.
Let's say your task was to clean the whole house after a major party. If you look at the whole house at once, it seems like an impossible task. But if you look at just the coffee table -- you can clean that pretty easily. And then you can move on to the dishes in the sink. Once those are done, you can clean the counters. Pretty soon the whole house is done -- because you did it in small sections.
That's a really dumb analogy, I know.
But it helps me to think of large tasks (like getting through school) in small pieces (like one test at a time). That way it doesn't seem so overwhelming.
I feel like all I'm doing right now is causing people to suffer...
As for that... Can you imagine the burden of guilt your loved ones would have if you killed yourself? They would forever be grieving and wondering what they could have done to help you. Your friends and family love you, dear. You are
not a burden. Your suicide would be a
huge burden. So... don't do it, okay?
I'm very glad you've decided to stick with us.
