High school is stressing me out and I'm not learning?
I'm a freshman, and so far, high school is just too stressful. There's way too much homework. I get math homework, biology homework, history homework, Spanish homework, and English homework every single night. They're not teaching me anything. They're just throwing tons of bullshit at me constantly. For example. in Spanish we didn't review anything. The teacher goes way too fast. It's just like, "Hi welcome to high school, now translate these textbook pages to English and while you're at it, memorize this list of vocabulary. Same with math. The teacher can't teach. She just draws weird lines and arcs on the board and she can't explain. She's all like, "I draw this then this then this then this then this and then I make this line and that's how you construct this angle ****." It's been two weeks and I've already gotten like 8 quizzes. I have two major quizzes tomorrow and I don't know anything because no one is teaching me anything. I feel like I'm already behind and I'm so stressed out. What should I do?

OMG! no wonder you're snappy with your family. I knew it! It is School you poor girl! OMG! listen to me please! I can help you cause I know exactly what you're going through and how to resolve this. I know because you are having the exact identical problems that I had when I was in School. And I also know exactly how you feel. "D" (I wanna keep your privacy here and not use your real name) You're exactly me. You have learning disabilities just like I do. And don't take what it says wrong. What this means is people like us can learn the subjects but we have to be taught the subjects differently then everyone else. We can't learn stuff in the format everyone else gets taught. And that's why it gets so frustrating with us when everyone else is learning and we're not. And this isn't are fault "D". And there is a solution, but it's up to you to go get it and I'll tell you how. First of all in the U S there is a federal law called the Americans with Disabilities act of 1990. And what that means for you that all public places and schools are bound by federal law to provide you with reasonable accommodations which means they have to help learning disabled people like us. So what I suggest is that you go to either your School counselor or even your principal and tell them that you think you have learning disabilities and that you want to be assessed by a learning disabled specialist for learning disabilities. And by law they must provide these services to you free of charge there. And if they give you crap about not doing it, get your parents involved to help you and go to the district office of your school if they won't help you. Even my Nephew who doesn't talk to me now had a learning disability too. He too had trouble in school initially turned out he had "Dyslexia" and once they addressed that he became an honor student. This can be you too "D". So please do this and I can promise you after you do not only now but your entire school career will totally turn around. Also for me even today because of my learning disabilities I can't learn Hebrew in the Ulpans for the same reason you're having cause they go way too fast and don't work with me. Here in Israel there isn't as much available for learning disabled people, so I'm here trying to learn Hebrew just by listening to other Israeli's cause I haven't been able to find a learning disabled trained teacher who knows both English and Hebrew here. Anyway I hope I helped you "D" :)

The first thing you have to accept is that you are not going to get the same individualized attention that you received in elementary school.
Another thing you have to accept is that a curriculum must be covered in a certain amount of time.
You claim that you are having difficulties with your subjects. Have you spoken to your teachers because that is where you start?
