Class of 2016!!

[Maz]

hey everyone!! sorry if im annoying you guys with my problems  but i just needed someone to talk to and i really couldnt think of anyone else..

so lately ive been feeling much better in terms of mental health, however a few weeks ago i was in a pretty bad place and it really affected my performance in one of my subjects. im still pretty behind in that class in terms of homework + failed a class test due to a bad anxiety attack. i tried telling my teacher but she didnt seem convinced at all and said i was 'lying to cover up my bad study ethic'... and recently i told my family about what i was going through and they pretty much took it as a joke. my school has parent-interview night in 2 days and im just really anxious because of what she's going to say (also if she tells my parents that im seeing a psychiatrist, because im kinda doing that without my parents knowledge). i know this issue sounds marginal but the pressure to perform well this year, along with the people around me refusing to accept what i'm going through is really bothering me. i dont know what to do 

Firstly, I'm glad you're feeling better! and i hope you continue to get better. if you keep bringing it up with your family, they will eventually believe you (i know this from experience). something else i know is that they would want u to get better, and if that means seeing a psych then so be it. yeah your parents might be angry/upset at first but ultimately they want you healthy...so i reckon just tell them...- this is me talking from experience, not the exact same situation but a similar one.  and no, it doesn't sound marginal at all...it is a lot to deal with...

Sorry to hear that  I'm not great at giving advice but I'll give my 2 cents - I'd maybe try to arrange to have a meeting with your teacher at lunch or in a free or whenever, and make sure you explain things to them. Hopefully they're reasonable and actually see that things are troubling you. Maybe also go over your concerns regarding the parent-teacher interview, and perhaps let her know that it's not cool to disclose that you're seeing a psychiatrist - also I don't think she's actually allowed to say that, I think it would be a breach of confidentiality (don't quote me though! )?
If things don't go so well with the teacher, is there another one that you can have a chat to and ask advice from? Or do you feel comfortable speaking to your Year 12 Coordinator? I find being able to chat to a trustworthy teacher super helpful 

In the end, if you're not comfortable telling your parents about seeing a psychiatrist, maybe don't tell them just yet, wait until you're more comfortable. Perhaps this might be something you can discuss with your psychiatrist?
All the best xx

How are things SAC-wise for you guys? Relatively quiet for the rest of term?

I think the only ones I have left are a Bio sac tomorrow (better get studying lol) , and a French sac on Friday.

No! I have a philosophy SAC this Thursday and another one the following. A SAC for History next Tuesday and a SAC for maths next Monday and Thursday. We're supposed to be doing a practise SAC for English sometime next week as well.

Stressed af because we've been rushed (and are behind) in Philosophy.

We had our Chem sac last week... the less said the better! Our teacher said across the 3 classes the highest mark was in the low 80's I think...the tests have to be standardised  (really need that emoji that's crying from laughing lol) haha. I did well on the extended experimental investigation though, a B+ which I was very happy with
Thankfully we don't have our first methods sac till next term...we've just been doing tests every 2 chapters, and I got in the 60's for both so I'm reasonably satisfied with that (they've been out of like 20 marks!) Our next test will be at the start of next term. No-one in the cohort has been doing too well on the tests, barring a few. The problem is, the textbook questions aren't that hard, and the tests are such a massive step up from the textbook questions!
Given that Chem and Methods will be my 5th and 6th subjects, as long as I get around 30 for them I should hopefully be ok.

On the bright side, we got our Language Analysis marks back for English today and I got an A 

I'm a bit nervous for French on Friday...all we've been told is we have to write a 3rd person story about an immigrant family! I swear, there are very few uplifting topics in the French course - it's all racism, immigration, global warming, poverty, war, etc. with a few topics about the arts and whatever spattered in between

yeah only have a bio sac this thursday and that's it for the term! Have had at least one sac in every subject, and 2 in most! Averaging exactly 90% , not sure if i should work harder to bump it up a bit or be content with my progress

how would you guys rate your term out of 10? I reckon it's been about a 8/10 thus far !

[The Usual Student]

the moment when you have 5+ more sacs to go before end of term............ fml

[Fayne]

I have three more to go before end of term. Just when I think I am done with Legal Studies another one pops up, and omg the English one is massive.

Depends in regards to which subjects!
But for the majority I'd say a 9/10 however there are some 7/10 moments -- so I'd have to give it a 8.3/10

[TwinNerd]

got my first sac tomorrow ahhhhh
