Hey, i really need ypur help to stop me from doing stupid things - sincere answers plz x?

I am in year 7 - the year where most teachers form they're opinion about you. I have NEVER been like this, I am an extremely good girl outside of school, very polite. But ever since I got to this private skl and Hve found that everyone is different, I have turned into a class clown. I have had 2 after school detentions, one of them for glueing a keyboard. These are the kind of things which are so stupid but there is something unknown inside of me which is making me do it. Also last week I threw a shoe (for no particular reason) across the classroom which managed to hit one of my friends in the face. My form teacher found out (which allready hates me) but my friend had to say in front of me that it wasn't me. And today I cut a girls hair only 3/4 of an inch but still, although U have given her £15 and a letter to her mother eventhough U can't see it. I have no idea how to control myself, and there is no point me telling my mom coz she will stop me from swim training and possible take me out of the school. Because of This my grades are failing and I feel like a failure which is going to fail. Everyone thinks im stupid and that I am the person who doesn't care about learning and I am sick and tired of that. I know Its not supposed to matter but i have to stay with them for the next 5 years!! And i cant exactly see a councellor, my mum will kno, and all my teachers think i am a nuisance. I will give U 5 stars if U can help me, please!!!!

    This happened to me too. It's the hormones/brain changes I think. I was a great student up until around 7-8 year. I lost interest in school. Occasionally I would cause trouble. Stupid things as you say. Looking back I think it was more of a break from being bored. I was very smart and passed all my classes without doing homework or studying but could have been top of the class if I tried. Eventually I was able to graduate from high school but found regular college about the same almost worse than before. I suggest that you try to concentrate on passing and find something that you really like to focus your attention on after school. Make sure its something good that you could make money with in the future. If you are fortunate enough to have wealthier parents, ask them to enroll you in a special high school that is more personalized. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

    also...despite being a bad student in school, I was able to make a pretty good life for myself. Just make sure you don't do anything too stupid that would get you in trouble with the law. Don't do drugs, Don't drink, and remember that sometimes things that seem like a big deal when you are younger is only small when you are older. Colleges look at your grades in high school but who says college is for everyone. There are many paths in life you can take and sometimes finding the right one is the most difficult but you can't relay on other people to decide for you. That is your own.

    Go on youtube and search for Only You by Katie Sky. Listen to the words.

    If you wanna change, then DO IT!!

    It's your life. What are you gonna do? The world is watching you. Every step, the choices you make, be who you are and say what you feel. Live the way YOU believe. Every day is an opportunity to let your life be the one that lights the way.

    Be a light to others. Be an influence. You make YOUR choices.

    Just think, in the future, when you try to get into a good college, they're not going to want to see detentions in your record. And what's more important? Swimming or being funny? Your mom being proud of you or being funny? Just stop yourself. You know you look stupid, (No offense.) And you'll probably dissapoint your mom. Just remember that your smart, but you look stupid and your not impressing abybody. I do hope you get your school life straight though.

    did you ever think what you believe your mum would do would actually help ?

    you changed when you went in i know you wont like it but you might have to change back

    maybe you have a problem within your head that you have to go see a GP about before you make up your own mind

    maybe wear rubber band on your wrist and when you think of this stuff , and just before your about to do it slap your wrist with the band
