One bad grade, or even a bad semester, isn’t the end of the world.
Your mental health is more important than your grades.
It doesn’t really matter what your high school classmates think of you or whether they like you or not, because almost all of them are going to lose touch with you after you graduate. So just do what makes you happy and don’t worry about what others might think.
People change, especially during their teens, and sometimes that means growing apart from people you used to be close to. It’s not anybody’s fault; that’s just how life is.
It’s okay to say “no” to people.
You don’t have to have your first boyfriend, or your first kiss, or your first anything by any certain age. Don’t put pressure on yourself to grow up faster than you’re ready to.
Don’t give up on your hobbies just because you’re busy with school. Make time to do the things you enjoy. You might regret losing those skills later on.
The person you date in high school is probably not the person you’re going to marry, so don’t plan your future around them. Plan your future around you – they can come along for the ride if they want, but if they don’t, don’t worry about it. There will be other people that you will love.
Most of the things you’re stressed or frustrated or heartbroken about right now won’t even matter to you in three years. Try to remember that, in the big scheme of things, high school is only a very small part of your life.
Your plans for the future are going to change several times over the next few years. Don’t worry about it. You have time, and you’ll figure things out.

I tried to make a sexual identity generator but it’s glitchy and I’m not sure how to fix it.
MAMA 2017 - Did you see their bag?
when i was like 7 some idiot didn't let me off of a roller-coaster even though my harness thingy wasn't locking in place and since then ive gotten random burning pains in my back/shoulders and I can't lay flat on my back (it restricts my breathing) so i went to a doctor a year later and she was like "is it really that bad" and i was like "yes" but she didn't believe me. it turns out i have damage to my spinal cord that now can't be fixed as we waited too long for treatment
i’m gonna be honest here. i don’t get the psychological support i need right now and studying is getting harder and harder, as much as any other activity is. so whenever i can, i do whatever it takes to become motivated to do some work, and here is what helps me:
1. environment visuals - this is a very important aspect for me, i’m mostly a visual learner and i need to have everything matching, neat and compatible with my aesthetics. so if you feel demotivated, start with cleaning up, maybe do a little makeover to your study space or even room, as i did not so long ago. this can give you a vibe of a ‘fresh start’, some sort of break from past problems.
2. environment noise - my parents absolutely hate silence. as long as they’re awake, there is always TV going on, any source of noise and images, they find it helpful when in stress, but i don’t. i want to have either perfect silence, which i can find in library and, thank god, sometimes at school when teachers leave as alone with problems/exercises to do, or i want to have some music blasting in my headphones, blocking noises from my parents. if you’re having difficulty focusing on work, you have to get rid of the distractors - turn off your computer, if you have a laptop - take it away from your desk. close your door or ask people at home to keep it quiet - they’re most likely to take it seriously because they most likely want you to have good grades too.
3. mental distractions - whether it is something like stressing about other test than you’re studying for, being focused on other plans you have for the day/week or minor things like wanting to play video games - it is very distracting and we fall into the loop hole of doing the third thing while stressing even more about every other. you want to have a clear vision of what happens when. as a visual thinker i like it when i can easily recall an image in my mind. so do your to-do list, organize every event happening this day, this week or even this month, and if you’re like me, make it clear, colorful, easy to remember. that way if you have organized your study time for a certain subject, even if you think about any other, you will find yourself knowing when is time for that. and knowing that you DO have time for that.
of course there are other things you already know like drinking water, sleeping well, all that kind of stuff. keep in mind that while you can do what you’re comfortable with, you should also set some challenges for yourself. recovery doesn’t happen when you’re doing nothing. on days when you feel better, think about spending your time differently, slowly doing more and more. you’re gonna thank yourself for the results and, perhaps, this shall motivate you further. best of luck, students!
Please reblog this if you think “They” can be used as a gender-neutral singular pronoun for something. I’m trying to prove this to my ignorant parents. Please please please don’t scroll past this
