College was a mistake

FrozenHeart

All my grades are currently ranged between 10% and 56% and I’d need at least a 70% to pass the class I think? If I don’t pass my classes then I’ll have to pay $8000 which I don’t have.

Every assignment is online readings and online essays. It takes me hours to do one and so I’m way behind and then the teachers talk to me, then I feel like I’m in trouble so am scared to go to class (which would get me in more trouble)

So I’m not allowing myself to do anything fun because I should be doing homework and if I’m doing anything besides that then I’m bad basically?

Just a whole lot of stuff that I don’t know how to explain

  • How come you have to pay so much money if you don't pass?

    I strongly believe you need to speak to someone whether it be a teacher or someone in charge of student support and talk to them about what you're struggling with. They may be able to provide help with some of the things you are finding difficult.

    Don't cut everything fun out of your life. That won't be productive long term. Set aside time for your work but split it up with enjoyable activities.

    It’s because the government is paying for it right now, so if I don’t pass then they take back their money but the school still needs to be payed so I have to instead.

    Ive had some teachers ask if I need help with anything but I can’t really figure out what my problem is to be able to say what’s wrong. And I feel bad since they already give me accommodations (both official and not)

    That’s precisely why I’m not doing fun - to split it even with how much work I’m doing ha
