@haughty ibex what happened sis?
naive skiff
What's wrong?
haughty ibex
Jus need lil pep talk
fr boards
Im stressin
But yah i feel better than b4
Cuz ik imma slay it tomo
N whatever happens its fr the best i guess
So imma sleep now thx @unreal oak and @naive skiff fr bein so concerned it rlly means a lot
naive skiff
No problem Just don't stress on stuff that's happened and have a good sleep if you wanna slay it toms
pallid ember
@haughty ibex honestly, judging by the tags, IG is all goods and you really shouldn't be stressing about it.
Stress=mistakes=lower grades
Less stress means you do better overall
wise flower
Ur rolesm
pallid ember
Yeah
haughty ibex
Ohk
naive skiff
I need help calming down with all this stress
First of mocks normal for every student
on top of that I'm being neglected by my friends like I mentipned before and they aren't approachable to talk about it (and this happened when I wasn't present for school)
Feeling that people around you are all cynical
You start feeling super exhausted and don't wanna do anything but force yourself to do it
and stuff along the lines
haughty ibex
@naive skiff
Hey m8
Your friends are probably gng thru the same stress that u r feeling maybe thatās why this ā,neglectā is cmng up n they donāt seem available cuz theyāre also dealing with the same stuff...sure that doesnāt excuse them not being arnd for u but hey u have a whole community here rooting for u
Your friends will bounce bak in a while once theyāve gotten a bit used to handling the stress
Everyone seems cynical sometimes but u gotta ignore it n continue slayin
Exhaustion comes n goes during times like these but make sure u eat well sleep well and get enough rest because no matter how much studying u do itās of no use unless your brain is in good fit shape to work after having gotten enough rest kay?
Youāre forcing urself to do stuff and to go on which is an amazing sign because it shows your determination, your spirit and that u donāt wanna give up and it shows a lot abt what an amazing person u r..donāt ever lose that streak of hope cux thatās gonna take u places trust me
For now, sure itās a dark phase...but hey, gonna b rlly cheesy n quote āTHIS TOO SHALL PASSā
@vivid coral @cosmic ginkgo @pallid ember
A lil help guys?
naive skiff
@haughty ibex I really appreciate for the words of encouragement
Honestly there are barely any people who do these sort of stuff for me and yeah you're right I've got a whole community but just mentioning they implied it and well just every single one of them ignores me like I'm nothing but why care when I got y'all
Again thanks a ton
really appreciate it
haughty ibex
@naive skiff anytime man Iāve been there Iāve felt that but then I got blessed with the best friend I could ever ask for
Itās kinda like a reward for bearing the suffering n being strong
And u will get your soulmate best friend
And when u do, u will be invincible together
Keep the faith goin n good luck m8
pallid ember
@haughty ibex help with what?
naive skiff
It's just that I'm being neglected for some odd reason none of my friends want to tell me and it's at a time like this in mocks bothers me a lot
unreal oak
@naive skiff mate it might just be cos they're stressed too
it happens a lot when people don't know how to cope with the stress, so they kinda go into this shell
naive skiff
I understand that but it's their actions that are making me think that reluctantly I would understand if they are stressed but all of this happened like in a single day and all of them at once is just kinda odd for me
Nevertheless I've decided to ignore all of it and rather focus on my studies rn cuz I'm gunna go through hell for a couple of months
Anyway @unreal oak @pallid ember @haughty ibex Thank you guys for hearing me out and being concerned means a lot to me cuz like I said I barely have anyone to talk to about how I feel
so thank you guys
haughty ibex
@Darkus#3546 itās okay m8

i'm not sure if filing a case against my previous school involving defying the suggested syllabus for maths is a good choice
here's the math syllabus provided by the department of education here in the philippines.
they teach singaporean maths, but it is extremely outdated.
i've already fueled vengeance against the so-called "school principal", a kind but greedy sociopath who uses the school funds for her personal gain
for doing such bullshit
wintry rampart
no... i prefer doing things the legal way
seeing "eton international school" lose its permits and shut down for good
i've felt enough negativity for the past week due to that
sand haven
are you sure that you're completely right with your claims, if yes then do the right thing then
wintry rampart
idk
sand haven
why hesitate when you're right
wintry rampart
but i'm considering on a better alternative, forgetting that stuff and just watch as the school loses popularity.
the school has constantly reducing amounts of students per year.
sand haven
it's ok I left my previous school too cuz it was too shitty
wintry rampart
perhaps, nature's doing it's part on ruining eton. parents complaining.
teachers and students finding the new building as claustrophobic
i mean, when i visited the new and only branch of the school, the restrooms were dirty and the hallways are cramped.
unreal oak
mate @wintry rampart i understand you're pissed, and rightly so
wintry rampart
i mean, the teachers are friendly, but the fact that the principal barely shows up in the school and only shows up in events is startling.
exactly, @unreal oak
i'm just here to release it all
unreal oak
but you should know that legal cases are expensive, time consuming, and in a lot of cases stressful for the person giving the case too
wintry rampart
indeed.
unreal oak
so think carefully on that, but feel free to vent here
wintry rampart
i'll rather just watch the school lose popularity.
cause all the "legal issues" that i think are results from overthinking,
there. that's better.
i'm feeling a bit more better now.
thanks.

sand haven
IB
lavish geode
I have experience dw
naive skiff
Listen here
Try checking if he's going through a problem
Cuz people tend to push away others who are close to them when they are in difficulty or so I think
I'm saying this cuz I've done the same thing what he's done and neglected one of my friends.Well I didn't mean to annoy her or anything but she used to get annoyed by every different thing I used to do
We don't talk anymore and I gotta say I regret doing that
Nevertheless you shouldn't let go of a grasp of good friendship
He may be talking with others to hide how he truely is(as in state) and since you both were close he doesn't want you to know and pushes you away
But all of this I'm saying is just what I think there may be multiple reasons
So I'm just going to say try keeping the fighting to minimum and try understanding how he truely feels
And decide to take your action from then onwards
Maybe he doesn't want to be friends anymore you have to respect that decision of his and let it go
Just don't try neglecting the good memories you've had with him when you were friends
naive skiff
No problem

My maths teacher once said "It's not about how many marks you get, it's about the knowledge you've gained."
though right now as students we have to show everyone the knowledge we have gained
Don't stress yourself over studying too much nor try studying too less
practice your hand to write faster and get a hang of writing answers easily

DON'T be anxious or stressed about your studies nor be too chill about it just make sure you're serious about it
Parents may stress their child out but it's for their own good in the future remember your parents were once your age and dealt with stuff
Well if you feel like they're overdoing it try having a talk with them it works

@midnight crest I feel you dude. My Parents are like that dude. Any chance they get they tell "If u are like this, I don't see u succeeding in anything" and they've told me this when I'm studying

Out of the 14 hours, I study for around 8 hours
Thats not enough
It's never enough

that is too much studying bro. efficiency>time spent studying

Bruh I've been have a existential crisis about whether or not I did good enough in my exams to get into my desired course.

i don't know if this is the right thing, but would it be best if i can drop my mathematics a level exam?
i believe that my anxiety involving mathematics may have contributed to my not-so poor results (U in comp sci, D in business).
or could it be that i'm not focusing on them?
i already got ungraded in as level maths.

So I didn't do well in the exams
And my mum went on a long rant about how useless I am and how much of a failure I am lol

@wintry rampart depends on what you plan to study in the future
Check your course requirements whether you need those subjects or not then make the choice

Positive thinking helps yeah but there is also often a need for most people to realize that there are some things you CAN CONTROL and other things you CANNOT CONTROL. and then it's usually upto the person to figure out how to approach the things that they CAN control and start a path towards the solution. All of this is easier said than done though.

that greedy principal of eton's not learning what it's like to be betrayed
by one of their former students
should i consider blackmailing them or filing an actual lawsuit?
i've already considered badmouthing the school to other parents who are willing to apply
serves as a good form of justice for failing one of their former students who is literally depressed and filled with revenge after failing two of the four biggest universities of the philippines
ever since my dlsu results came, all i can think of is revenge
"they need to get what they fucking deserve"
"eton's stabbed me in the back, it's time i do the same"

is it legal for schools to charge a lot of money for a simple event such as a christmas party for a united nations day program?
i'm really considering on filing a complaint against my previous school. they stole my christmas tree, left me helpless to fail dlsu and ateneo's college tests and stressed kids who never attend their overcharged events to do some project equivalent to the ib's extended essay + CAS for babies.
are these great reasons for submitting a complaint to the department of education?
i'm having second doubts about my reconsiderations for la salle and ateneo.

i mean, thatās educational malpractice.
a school like āeton international schoolā has the blind perception by its studentsā parents that it is the equivalent of giving the igcse when literally, it fails to comply with the department of educationās k-12 syllabus all cause they use the exact same textbooks for 7 years straight.
wintry rampart
is it just me or am i really stressed?
hardy halo
is it legal for...
ask a lawyer
that's my only advice, ask a lawyer
consult a school law attorney for such things, because if a school fails to comply with their mission of educating students, they can be sued
things that you need to consider:
- suing people takes a lot of time. are you willing to give up your own personal time for revision in order to allocate some time to consult a lawyer?
- are you willing to pay the attorney's hourly rates?
- do you think it is worth it to sue the school over this?
personally I've seen two defamation cases and one cyberbullying case that were brought to the court
and trust me, it's a heckload of work just to get the paperwork ready
wintry rampart
i know...
i was just blurting out the stress i have
and there's no way i'm gonna file a silly lawsuit
it's just a way of venting my anger whenever it is related to at least entering one of the top universities in the philippines
and have a bright and beautiful life while it lasts

So
I don't know if i can get into my degree of choice in the uni I want
But tbf I don't really want to go into a STEM field degree qnyways
wise flower
whats ur field and uni
midnight crest
UBC and either biotech or environmental science
Parents limited most of my freedom of choice
hardy halo

midnight crest
Yeah but I'd rather go into patisserie or animation ngl

UBC is University of British Columbia btw. And they're pretty well-known for env.sci and biotech from what I've seen

@wise flower no choice. They want the best from me blah blah blah
Got flat out rejected when I said I planned on going for patisserie as a backup plan soĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
wise flower
So why don't u tell them u can do graphic designing
hardy halo
because sometimes parents will see their kids as a complete failure if they don't do STEM
my dad has always pressured me in going to med school, and he's still kinda pissed that I went for chem instead for med
and "biology is the future"
hardy halo
bio, chem, material science, environmental science
nopenopenopenope
don't do those subjects if you have a choice
the four pits of hell
unreal oak
tbh i think kids in this situation should go ahead and do the degree
rebelling that hard at 17 isn't really worth it
hardy halo
tbh I think kids in that situation should do maths instead
unreal oak
if you really want to do sth else, figure out how to do it on the side
no bad idea
i've seen the uni maths syllabus
it's anal, don't
hardy halo
š
well
technically yes
but maths has a waaaay better career outlook
you can pretty much switch to anything else
hardy halo
I kinda have a weird thought
doing biotech and patisserie at the same time isn't such a bad idea
unreal oak
that's exactly what i was gonna say
do the degree you parents want, than do what you want on the side

I've been incorporating chem eng and chem stuff into my cooking recently

My schedule is helllaa fucked and I've exams coming up and I got hellla shit left to study I would really appreciate if you suggest smth that might help
wise flower
First thing is u need to remain calm
It's all overwhelming but u gotta stay focused and calm
Second..
Since u got a lot to study...get off.social.media
Insta..hangouts wtv
Unless it's important and u need it desperately
Third...write down what all u need study somewhere...and how many hours or days it will take..accordingly study. Depending on ur exam timetable and stuff..plan how much time u need to allocate
I'll be fine..just stay calm and organized
chrome oasis
hey @thick heart it's okay, take it one day at a time, okay? like di said, plan out your studying. identify your weakest points in the syllabus and focus on that. the ones that ur alr pretty solid about just skim thru them and go through the main points.
a couple of days before the exam, do a past paper. time yourself, and see where you get wrong. attempt to figure out where you went wrong and then when u get it, repeat on another past paper. focus a subject a day, okay?
and lastly, take care of yourself. your health is rlly important, so please dont forget to eat + sleep on time yeah? dont pull all nighters and try your best not to procrastinate. you can do it !! ā¤ļø
also. social media - yeet it away u dont need it rn

these days, it has gotten from bad to worse from day to day
im having trouble keeping a positive attitude
things start looking negative
more over i have no one to discuss my problems
and keeping it all in is slowly getting me
letting it all out will not help me
what should i do?
distracting myself is temporary thing aswell
grim zealot
well weāre here to discuss ur problems w u
do u have any outlets
like sports or arts
naive skiff
Well I'm not really good at helping people but I'll try to
There are the good days and the bad days sometimes you gotta fathom the bad days in order to return to your good ones
Well I understand that keeping a positive attitude is hard ,it's hard for everyone to keep themselves 'sane' all the time
If you can't let it out just let it out here we're always here to listen to it
If you fight for a while I'm guaranteeing you, you're going to have a great time afterwards
Just make sure this doesn't get to you for the long run it'll affect your lifestyle
We all have been through tough times and we wanted to give up.
I know that feeling we all do ,but strive till you meet your goals donāt ever give up. If you think you will fail donāt.
We all here within you ask others to seek help to know what youāve been growing through.
We sometimes go downhill, but try to go up again and donāt ever look down.
Think of everyone you know to talk to about this, if you have none then make new ones, and if you can't find any ,again we're here to listen
chrome oasis
@azure grail it's okay to not have a positive attitude all the time. that's tiring and honestly no one can rlly do it. everyone's life is full of ups and downs, and when ur feeling down, it's okay to not be positive, yknow?
give yourself a break. do something you love, go out maybe, read, watch a show. anything to just distract yourself first.
and if you ever need to vent about anything we're here for you, okay? or if you're not too comfortable with that maybe vent in a notepad or smth you know. keeping your feelings bottled up is bad for you bc one day it's gonna explode and it will be. messy.
and like waffles said, don't give up yeah? you can do it, we believe in you. everything comes to an end, even the bad bits of our life. it'll be okay in the end. things will work out even though they seem rlly bleak rn okay?
take care ā”

Hi guys quick sad boi hours for 5 sentences
We have 10 weeks left before exams and I'm unprepared af and I'm high-key panicking even tho I've been studying
If I don't do well I'm going to get fucked because my parents don't give me any other choices except stem field degree
Panic monster eating me up man
K less than 5 sentences good enough
ionic bridge
@midnight crest just know that the fact that you are studying is great
And 10 weeks is enough revision time
Last year I struggled immensely with my IGs
I had a rough year and barely had the motivation to work
I had about a week before my exams to actually get my shit together
I watched a lot of freesciencelessons on YouTube, used Znotes and just did the best I could
I managed to get through it
And that was on 1 week
10 is a lot of time, over 2 months
2 months is more than enough time to get notes in order, revise those notes, watch educational videos and practice on past papers
You will succeed
And just know that what matters most is how you feel, your parents are there to judge you forward but your success is not for them, its for yourself
And if you have a great support structure here of people who want you to succeed but won't push you in an angry and authoritarian way
So try to breathe, focus on revision and past paper practice
Use your resources from Znotes, youtube and your textbooks
And you'll do just fine <3
midnight crest
Thanks man
ionic bridge
It's no problem at all!
I hope you manage to feel better
And I'm sorry about your parents
I know they can cause a lot of stress

Hi guys. I have been challenged in Physics by my physics HOD. I haven't been scoring well, but i sure as hell capable of scoring. He underestimates me. Even I do. If I score below a 6 in these terms of 11th, I will have to drop physics, otherwise, he's gonna let me keep it. The reason i am telling you all this, that I am scared of getting below of a 6 and that I might actually get it. I don't know, I just wanna prove him wrong that I am more than capable in a way that he is left unspeakable. What do I do(ping me)
wise flower
Imagine the look on his face when u prove him wrong..imagine how amazing it'll.feel...
Think how good it'll feel to say "hey...were wrong sucka!"..
Stay motivated so that u can show him ur amazing and can do anything...
As for being scared..being scared is ok..but just don't let it hold u back..bej g scared shows that u really care @vital linden

iām literally scared for my term 2 and 3 grades
i recently flunked a differential equations test for mathematics
and now iām 100% scared that it would cripple my grades
how would lasalle or ateneo recognize the grades?
my momās fine with it, but, i worry that with such bad grades for pure maths, i may not be accepted at all in college
with the hell thatās called āpure mathematics 3ā, how will i even survive this impossible challenge?
at least i didnāt take the a level mathematics exam cause i know that iād likely snap if i were to actually take it
when i took pure maths 1, literally, the anxiety and stress probably generalized to my other subjects, thus, giving me an āungradedā mark in comp sci
wintry rampart
everyone else in my class was better than me in that fucking test
and all i wanna do is punish myself
either through forcing myself on study medications or overstudying
i already have two math tutors and still, this outcome happened.
wise flower
@wintry rampart punishing yourself i snt going to help anyone...its totally understandable...p1 is stressful and takes time to get a hole on. all u really need to do is find a way to be organized that it. bad grades does hurt, especially when u work hard and it all just goes to shit. but u gotta understand that u gave ur beest. and all u can do now is just try harder and give it ur best again. and comparing urself to ur classmates is not good...it happens but u cant do it.. its only gonna make things worse. just organize well and ull be fine.
plus...we all are here to help if u need/...this server can help with any subject u want and we all here for u
wintry rampart
i know. to me, grades are just mocks at its finest. but to the colleges, grades are the equivalent for a resume. they'll check it and see if you are capable for your desired course. and with low term 2 grades for math, i'm basically having a lot of doubts.
i know that p3 is literally college mathematics in the philippines, but harder.
i flunked la salle and ateneo's entrance tests, all cause i did not know what came in and practiced the wrong college entrance test.
my previous school focused too much on burning my mother's money, and i'm literally too stressed for p3.
i've spent over 30,000 pesos just for math tutors and it barely worked.
and all i got are 35% scores and a 50% for a much more easier unit test involving complex numbers
i just hope stats 2 is much more easy to understand
but at least i'm not taking pure maths 3 and stats 2 as externals
wise flower
i understand...the whole worlds education system is flawed massively. now just be organized, stay motivated and do your best yea?
wise flower
yessss. that is the spirit!
wintry rampart
cause all i know is that i'll only focus on mastering my other three subjects for the externals
and i can guarantee that the ungraded mark in comp sci will become either a d or c
wise flower
and thats good!
wintry rampart
and i began revising for psych, business and comp sci ever since last year
wise flower
that means u have been working hard! so amazing job man
