How to escape hopelessness?

Don't despair...you are way too not-far-along in your life to be feeling this much stress, you know? High school has it's problems and pressures but once you finish, you realize it was such a small part of your life. In fact, your entire schooling years are in reality a small part of your life, and it becomes clear once you finish them. There is so much out there in life to pursue, so many opportunities. Try to look beyond what you are going through right now because many people go through it. Sometimes life is harder when we are younger and for others it is harder at other periods of our life. Don't let these things you are going through now hold you back - you have to find the tools to rise above them. I really suggest you ask your parents if you can, if you could see a counselor who can help you figure out how to deal with these things. I have seen counselors at various times in my life, starting in high school...they really help you to figure out what to do in certain situations. It's just like asking on this answers page except they are actually certified to help people figure things out. Maybe you need a tutor for Biology just to get through it you know? Maybe you need someone to help you learn how to discipline yourself to study for your driver's license. Even a school counselor to start. No one else has to know you are going to one. Maybe you need to have someone help you get out of that failure mindset, and it is TOTALLY possible to do...you just have to try techniques and find out what works - but you have to find someone who can give you those first. Believe me, you will get through this if you can stick it out and believe there is something waiting for you on the other side of your trials. Best to you.
