Setback

[boukery]

I'm a highschool student from the Philippines. I've been an achiever since grade 1. But now I'm suffering mentally because of overthinking.

I just failed the second quarter without my parents knowing and I'm scared they will harshly invalidate my feelings if they knew. I mean I can't keep it a secret forever. But it's just so disappointing and very pressuring. I know that my own actions resulted the failure but I'm just so scared. I want to tell my parents but I'm scared they won't give me the support that I want to hear from them. And i just think it's very hard to recover from this.

Welcome to the community.

High school is very hard there is no doubt about that. What grade are you in?

Won't the school notify your parents? They are going to find out one way or another.

They will probably be upset, no question. Maybe you should write down some things you plan to do different this semester. Show them that you are being proactive

Is there someone at school who can help?

Are you able to re take the exams or repeat the work ?
