i don't think i can survive another school year...i'm trying to stay hopeful, but people like me are harshly treated in my area...i don't know how much more i can take, and at this point, death seems much more appealing than trying to fight an uphill battle when all i have is a stick, and everyone else has maces that are on fire, and the hill is also on fire, and also the hill is a fucking mountain. i'm getting tired of it, and i can't take much more...
“I’m not going to stand here and tell you what you should do, after all what works for some won’t work for everyone and I don’t know the entire situation…”
“But having said that, the fact that you decided to speak up about it proves how strong you really are. A lot of people will write these problems off and ignore them, but you seem to understand when enough is enough and for that I think you’re very inspiring.”
“School is never easy and I can assure you that many others have had similar experiences… you’re forced into this position where you feel pressured into making something of yourself, proving your worth to others. Feeling the need to give up when faced with such adversities… it makes sense, you don’t deserve that unnecessary stress.”
“Despite these critical desires to escape it all though, I honestly, truly believe you have so much more to live for than you could possibly imagine. You might not see it yet, but given time I know you’ll see yourself shine in all the areas you want to. And beyond that there are always things you will overlook… family and support, people who would do anything to see you happy. If you don’t feel you have that, know that I’m always here and willing to offer you the care you need.”
You haven’t given in, regardless of all the struggles you’ve dealt with so far, this is no easy feat… I’m proud of what you’ve accomplished. The only thing left is to keep pushing, even if it’s a bit at a time… but always remember that you’re human and that if the going gets too tough, you can take a break. That’s okay.”
“Your future really comes down to you. I can offer advice and give you the boost you need but it’s your life, and you should be in control of what awaits. School is a hard period of most people’s lives, some get through it easier than others but what’s important is that in the end, it’s just one chapter of your story… beyond that it could lead anywhere you want. I want you to pursue whatever makes you happy afterwards… so please don’t let school stop you from embracing that.”
