i’m a senior in high school and i’m supposed to graduate this friday. i’ve been dealing with a lot of shit since a young age but the last year has been the worst of my life. Lost one of my best friends a few months ago, dealing with gradation is tough, i don’t know wtf do do with my life and i feel so pressured being 18, but besides all of that. The last few months i’ve essentially dropped out. I’ve been to school a hand few of times in i don’t even know how long. My anxiety is fucking terrible and when i actually do get the motivation to go to class my teachers, classmates, everybody is just non stop on my ass talking about how i fucked myself over for missing so much and asking where i’ve been, just shit i don’t wanna hear nor answer. But i went in a few days ago and got called out of class by the 11th grade principal ( weird cuz i’m a senior but wtv) and he starts talking about my grades. Mind you he knows my situation, a few months ago the administrators had a meeting with my family, some therapists and others randoms trying to put me in an outpatient program. he knows i’ve been struggling. but he straight up asks me what happened to me. Word for word said what the hell happened to you. then proceeds to tell me that there are numerous other students with depression who manage to come to school and make it work and i should try to be like them. What in the fuck does that even mean. I know people have it worse than me and i don’t undermine them because i don’t want people to feel the way i do and i can’t imagine how some other people deal with things. Anyways it just really struck me wrong that a principal, the face of a high school chose that approach to talk about mental health.
