I'm so sick of all this unneeded stress in my life. My grades dropped in the second quarter and I keep getting into fights with my parents and just high school life is taking a toll on my mental stability. All I want is some peace and quiet and some time to myself. I hate the people I'm around because they're so immature and annoying. I'm done with everything. Why can't I find someone that is mature enough that they won't make sex jokes during every confersation.

I've been there since 9th grade rawr, just gotta deal with it till people grow up or pass them up and move on to other people around you and talk to some fine people online, that's what I do ^_^

I try, all I want is to have a decent conversation.

Well, all I can say is, Welcome to Real-Life! I've been there, too man. And you think your fights with your parents were rough? I ended up spending 6 months living with my best friend and with the school board breathing down my parents' necks for beating me at home. In junior high, they broke 2 inch thick wooden paddles on my butt. My pops broke 2 wooden bats hitting me in high school. As long as you keep up your hard work, the rest will come into play. As for the problem with the people you're with. Just find other people to hang with, then. I've had to do that before, and it turned out for the better. Who you choose to be around tends to define who you are. Be strong, man. You'll get through this. After you see what my life's been like, your life will seem like paradise.

you probably won't like me cause i make those immature puns all the time (only with the freshmen friends of mine though)
(general anti stress)
just play a violent videogame
it vents stress without bringing harm to others, listen to music, read a book, find a fad and get entranced by it, read a funny webcomic,
or watch some television
pick your anti stress poison
(parental anti stress)
Hang with some friends then or discuss politely and in an intelligent fashion about what you want to do about the parent situation, with the parents, if that doesnt work then read above methods
(bad grade anti stress)
Study hard, or my own personnel but not assured to work method
cram then sleep, you remember lots of things when your in dreamland
P.S. Second Quarter is always the hardest quarter, third quarter is still hard but manageable, and 4th quarter is just tests

Wolfgang, just remember, stress isn't always bad (as it can alert you to something), but to cope with excess stress, you must find something you can enjoy. Reward yourself after a hard day's work with something, but do limit your reward to not cause harm (such as addiction to prevent you from doing what you need to).

:D
i completely know where you are coming from.

I'm where you're at now, Wolfgang. But really what you need to remember is if what you're stressing over is actually worth stressing over. It may not be that big of a deal than you may think it is. Tune your parents out or just up and leave the room if not the building. If people are upsetting you tell them to stfu, gtfo and find someone else to talk to. Spend time studying, asking questions and seeking help from your teachers. It's their job and responisbility to help you understand the material. If all you need is some time off, then take it. Don't kill yourself over this stuff. Take a break and chill. It'll work out. :)
