Moving, Change of Schools, Grades, and Anxieties

Post Reply New Topic

Ever since I moved and changed schools, my grades have started to plummet below C level. Before, I had been getting mostly As and one or two Bs. Not only that, but moving has caused me to feel constantly tired and unenthusiastic.
I'm trying to do my best, but I'm having a lot of anxieties about both my core courses and my electives. I took a day off a little while ago, and it helped somewhat, but not enough. I have a 42 in subjects where I should have an 80, largely because of one or two missing assignments (or because the teacher has an organizational policy I don't yet have a firm grasp on), and I found out that my transfer grade doesn't count in a lot of my classes. What's worse, the end of the quarter is coming up very, very soon. I know I can do my work, and ask questions about things I don't understand, but other than that, how do I cope with my stress and what's the key to bringing my grades back up?

I am really sorry.Maybe you should talkto your parents or some other trusted adult...if that's possible since you've moved.How far didyou move from your home?Also,if you ever need to talk you can talk to me if you want.Feel free to PM or email me anytime.

P.S.Do NOT give up,no matter what!There is still hope!

I moved out of county, but not out of state. I'm in a different part of the state, tho'.... and I have to cope with living in a large town (I used to live in a small developing town). And, yeah, I did talk to my parents about it.

Have you made any new friends or accaintances or have any people that you can talk to on the internet(besides us)?

Acquaintances, yeah. No close friends, tho'. And I could talk to other people on the internet about it, but I probably wouldn't. I feel most comfortable discussing my personal problems on wrongplanet.net, since it seems like the best place (online) to talk about them.

I hear what you're saying. Please do yourself a favour and talk to your teachers. I don't know what kind of school you're at, but many teachers would be willing to help if you ask them. Try setting up a time outside of class (maybe after school?) so that you can ask them any questions.

Yupa, if you don't mind me asking, what grade are you in?

I'm a sophomore/10th-grader

I feel your pain. I've moved 32 times in my 19 years and went to 12 different schools before college and 3 in my senior year of high school.

Anyway definitely talk to your teachers. If they know you're trying they tend to be more sympathetic, as opposed to assuming you're just slacking off, so tell them that you want to do better and are willing to work. Hopefully they'll understand.
