Year 12 Class of 2013, REPORT HERE!

[nosuperstar]

Just finished my second day of induction and I don't know if it's just me, but I feel myself breaking down at this point, just the new classes, being overwhelmed because everything counts now, I don't even know what i'm doing, all the stuff going on with my ex isn't helping, damn induction. I just want a break from school and everyone in it.

Just a few more days. Keep pushing. Breathe, relax, and keep pushing.

I had the same thing last year - I suddenly found myself in a Further class and being called a Year 12 when I was nothing more than a Year 10 and I was really overwhelmed by it all. Just stay organised, know when your SACs are and realise that not 'everything' in Year 12 counts - despite what the staff say, various quizzes and book checks actually do not count towards your final study score.

And try to have fun! I found it really cool to share a class with people in years older than me

I had this with year 11 induction too, i'm just doubting how i'm going to do next year because i'm at that point where i'm exhausted from exams and SACs and just dealing with so much drama to the point where I have nobody to talk to and have no energy at all.
To add to the mix, my school won't even let us borrow textbooks yet!

Just had further today, the amount of focus that was put on the end of year exams just stressed me out!

She will be in Year 12 next year, only sharing classes with people either the same age or younger than her. However, I also enjoyed meeting a new bunch of kids.

Hey, everyone goes through that initial stage of being overwhelmed. It is totally normal. I mean, I actually HAD to go to classes for a change. Everyone is serious. The pressure in the room mounts. Even the kids with a streak of having a lower intelligence will pick up their game. Its a fact of life. All I can really say is, just don't let it get to you. Face it. Give this week all you have. It gives you a taste of what to come. Also, figure the shit out with boyfriends/girlfriends. Honestly, you have NO IDEA how much shit has happened to me this year because of the school work then the dramas aside from it. Be clear and sort it out now. I'm telling you, you will feel you have a little more direction because of it.

I see I'm not alone. I don't want to scare you, but you're going to need to get yourself into a calm place for this subject or else it will bite you, even more than any of your other subjects.

Yeah, I feel as though all the stuff with my ex is really making me not only loose focus of year 12, but just I get so depressed and just doubt everything, I think it's more of the fact that I cut myself off from my friends and ex without a proper explanation, it just all feels like an unfinished job, but I just feel like i'm letting go of my pride by fixing things.

Even though I also understand students will be putting in their best efforts, the amount of emphasis put on the difficulty of getting 40+'s is just so stressful, i've heard it many times but in some senses, it's like our teachers doubt us.

nosuperstar, I think the best thing for you is to take some time out to find something that can help you let go of some of the stress, it's not something that should be built up.

I think any teacher that ignores their students efforts in aiming to do well should not be a teacher.

[Tirana]

Tomorrow I finish Year 11 exams 

For English 2013 Year 12 these are my books:

1. Growing up Asian in Australia
2. Cosi
3. Cat's Eye

I don't know what to do though

I agree, it was like a total throwback because i'm aiming for close to 50 in further and my teacher said because it's the most enrolled maths subject in vce, the highest we could get is in the 30's.

Your teacher is a fuck head.

Yes, I absolutely agree. I'm hoping I have a different teacher next year because I can't deal with his attitude.

Uh, that's nothing compared to my Further teacher. Don't get me started.
