So...I'm kind of in a tight spot now. Actually, I've been in a tight spot for quite some time. In School, Planning 10 is a required ONLINE course. We were given An entire year to complete it.
During summer, I didn't get any completed, because I was out sailing and really, why work on school in the summer?
The only problem was, when the school year came, I was thrown into a whole bunch of work and activities I was totally unprepared for, and I just kept putting it of and putting it of...
Now, I am doing poorly in all my courses and have barely touched Planning 10. I'm under a lot of stress from all sides and When I'm not at school I just don't seem to have the energy to do anything constructive. Sometimes I find myself wondering if maybe death is a better option instead of continuing like this.
Also, I have some friends from the States who I'd really, really like to visit for the summer, but more and more it seems like that wont be possible.
If you all could pray for me, I would be truly grateful. I hope I didn't sound whiny ^^;; Thank You and God Bless!

I hear you, Lynna. All students get stressed out, and why? I have yet to figure that out despite being a student for so long. But it's just school, not something to kill yourself over. Hey, if it makes you feel any better, know that God not only has blessed you with an education, but He also gave you a work load so you could learn to trust Him more. God knows how far you will get in school. Be diligent and you'll be rewarded with rest (though you may have to wait awhile).

Just fyi, I'll be praying for ya. :thumb:

Praying. I'm sure things will work out, no matter how dark it seems. Try making a schedule of some sorts- and make a point of finding time to do the course. See if you can't cut activities that take away from school (and I hate saying that, but sometimes classes take precidence over those and church activites- God understands).

Praying for you Lynna.

That sounds pretty bad. But just remember, you are 16! You've got a long, long life ahead of you. I know you want to jump on everything all at once, but you are still young. Yeah, what Atria said, see if you can't cut activities, it will be helpful to your health. :)

Just said a Prayer for you, I think you should also pray about this, and like Atria said, actions must be done on your part as well! Reminds me of Nehemiah, whenever your faced with tough times make sure you pray and do!

I'll be praying for you! Just remember you are young and you have your whole life ahead of you. Things may seem dark now, but remember there could very well always be a brighter future, especially with God on your side! Meanwhile, I'm going to agree with Atria and Nami's posts so you don't hear the same advice all over again. I really hope things get better for you soon!
