Seating plans are making me stress!

[Millyr]

A few naughty people in my class get us put into seating plans where the teacher sits us boy, girl, boy, girl... Then tells us to discuss with our partner! My heart starts racing whenever we have those classes! What do I do????

Hi

In life there is always people that have to be silly & instead of them been punished , everyone ends up suffering & sorry to see this has caused that problem for you love

You could have a word with the teacher & let them no how this is making you feel , I no that might seem a big thing to do , but thats what they are there for , if you have any problems

Maybe ..it would be a good ides to find the teacher at break or dinner , just tell your friends if they ask , she/he wanted to see you about an easay or something ...that way you could talk in private without anyone over hearing & tell the teacher you want to speak in private as well

If they are doing their job , they should help you with this

If you dont feel you can do this ..but hope you can ..then the only other thing I can think of is who ever you get sat nxt to , just forget they are a girl/boy & speak to them as you would your friends ...they may feel a little nervous to , but some are good at covering it up

I would speak to teacher though if it was me , if something is upsetting you they should no

Let us no how you go on

Love

Hi

How sad reading your blog and i can feel how this is upsetting you. I would have a quiet word with the teacher in private and tell her exactly how this is making you feel.

If she is an understanding Teacher she will realize that this could have a great impact on your learning and its her job to make sure every pupil matters and for their well being.

Also i find this a childish way to teach to have to seat girl/boy etc. If people are being disruptive in the class they should be removed.

Please approach your Teacher before it starts to affect your education.

Hope you get this sorted soon

All the best

Hi Milly,

Oh I remember this well. Years ago I had a maths teacher who did this. I thought I might die. I was already pretty ill with anxiety and depression and totally phobic about maths and now I had a strange lad to deal with everyday!!! A few weeks in, much stress later he was still chatting easily to me and I started to relax. He became a close friend and was an absolute rock for me for the next five years So you never know!!!

Seriously though - going through school with anxiety and depression wasn't a lot of fun. I know what you're going through and you could probably use some help. Have you seen your GP? Make sure the school and yr teachers understand you are unwell not awkward. Try to get them on side to help you minimise the stress you are under.

You will get through this. I did. And university was fantastic!!!!!

Good Luck,

Keep posting and let us know how you are.

Love
