I'm in 9th grade, and things are really getting tough for me. With finals just two weeks away and the school year ending in early June, I feel totally burned out. I was just diagnosed with ADHD, and now it makes sense why I've been struggling to keep up. Despite my best efforts, I can't seem to focus, and my grades reflect that. In the first semester, I got all As, but now I'm barely holding onto Bs, and I have so many late assignments that it's overwhelming. I'm exhausted all the time, even after sleeping from around midnight to 7 AM. I feel lost and worried about how my parents will react to my grades this semester. Honestly, I'm at a point where I just want to give up. Has anyone else gone through something like this? Any advice on how to turn this around?

Definitely consider talking to a counselor or therapist. It sounds like you’re under a lot of pressure, and they can help you sort through those feelings and maybe even address some signs of depression. I’ve been there, and it’s tough, but it can get better!
You’re doing better than you think! Just remember, grades aren't everything. I struggled through school too, but it all worked out in the end. Focus on one thing at a time, and don't hesitate to ask for help!
Hey, it’s okay to feel this way! I had my share of ups and downs in school too. You might feel alone, but you’re not. Reaching out can really help, so don’t hesitate!
Exactly! It’s really important to find support, whether it's friends, family, or professionals. You're not alone in this.
I can relate to how tough this is. It sounds like you really need to focus on your sleep and try to get to bed earlier. When I don’t get enough rest, my brain feels foggy, and everything becomes harder—including studying. Just making that shift helped me out a lot! You've got this!
For sure! It can really help to talk about what you're going through. Sometimes just venting and getting support makes a huge difference.
