I’ve been going to a STEM school that just opened and the homework is too much. I’ve explained this to teachers and my parents, but they just want me to unenroll and go to a different school, but every school that I go to has too much stress and homework and I want to drop out of school all together. I already have a job to support myself and I know other places that will hire even if you didn’t graduate high school. The thing is I can’t drop out no matter what because of the laws. Part 1 of 2

You need to ask for help.  You need your education.  Tell your teachers and parents how you are feeling overwhelmed and that you need support.  Look for a tutor.  If you are depressed, try to get some medication so you can better manage what you’re going through.  Sometimes your own personal well-being comes before school so get some personal help first if it is impeding your learning completely.

It’s 3 weeks into school and we already have 3 different homework assignments. It has been 3 1/2 DAYS and it’s not finished and school starts at way-too-early o’clock. It is an advanced school, but god-darn (Trying keep it school appropriate here). I have never been this stressed in my life. It doesn’t help that they don’t having a working network for school or a working website half the time. 3 WEEKS AND IT’S ALREADY GOING TO HECK (remember: child friendly).

Try asking for help.  Explain to your teachers that you are feeling overwhelmed and ask for some strategies to work through it.  Perhaps extra help in working through the assignments would help as well.  Always, always ask for help.

Do you have any advice for dealing with creepy teachers? I miss a lot of maths classes, and often need help with the makeup work but when girls ask that teacher for help, he always rubs our shoulders really uncomfortably and he put his hand on my thigh once. He played it off like an accident, but it still makes me really nervous about asking for help lol

You need to report this teacher immediately.  Find someone you trust in the school or go to the police.  This is completely wrong.  He is using his position of authority to take advantage.  Get help immediately.
