Ive been at high school for 2 weeks now, and everyone says "oh, its a new chapter of life!". No, it sucks right now. I made the mistake of choosing 3 honors classes and my sister wanted to do Zero Period Academic Decathlon, so I have to take the class too, because we have to leave the house at the same time.

The schedule is confusing, I'm failing Geometry, even though I don't know why because we've only had 1 homework assignment and 1 quiz that was easy. My mom yelled at me for having an A- in Spanish, and I can only imagine what she will say when she sees that I have a C+ in Geometry

I have to go to sleep at 9pm and wake up at 5:30 am which makes me really tired in the morning. The school day ends at 2:45, but my mom can't pick me up until 4-4:30. Then at home, I have to take care of my cats, practice piano for 30 minutes, help with dinner, do the dishes, put away clothes, and more chores, which leaves only a little time to finish my homework and study for tests.

My parents are very strict about things; no devices upstairs unless it's in my mom's room every night, if I don't hang up my uniform, I can't use my phone for a day, no skipping school unless I have Covid or some other contagious illness, no talking back, no being on phones 24/7 (I'm barely on my phone, yet my mom yells at me whenever I check what classes I have the next day, even though she's on her phone watching movies during dinner, while cooking, even in the morning when she just woke up), I'm not allowed to have any form of social media (including Discord, more on that in a bit), I'm not allowed to play video games, and more.

I'm an introvert who doesn't like talking to adults or meeting new people, so high school is very stressful for me. I threw up twice on the first day for reasons unknown (all I know was I ate foods that were safe for me that day)

My parents are always saying how I can't give them additude without being punished, even though I don't give them additude. Example - this morning: My dad was ranting on how we needed to help pack our lunches (side note- they both do this) they keep asking "oh do you have everything?" I say yes "do you have this?" yes "do you have this? this? that?" and it keeps going on and on like that. At that point I just get overwhelmed by it and just say "Yes, I have everything" in a slightly annoyed tone, and they take that as additude. Then they say "Hey, watch your tone" or "I'm just making sure you have everything, so watch your tone"

My parents are always telling me to tell them about my problems, or if I don't want to tell them, then I should tell a trusted adult, or they can get a therapist for me. But I don't feel comfortable about telling my problems about school and my family to anyone face to face

This is the reason why I have Discord, so I can talk to people I don't know and get help knowing I dont have to actually talk to them, it's just typing. Like I said, i'm an introvert, I'm not comfortable talking to people I don't know, whether they're trying to help me or not. I'm more comfortable talking to people when I'm typing, which is why I barely use voice chats.

I'm always self-conscious on how I look, talk, etc. I have a twin sister, and I'm the older sibling, but people always think I'm at least a year younger than her. I'm 13-15 (prefer not to say) but I have the face of a 9 year old. Sometimes when I say something, my sister tells me later in the day "Ew, don't say that" or just gives me a disgusted side-eye, mentally telling me that I said something unhinged but I wasn't aware.

I'm really bad at focusing on things, and ive been told I might have adhd, but my mom says I just dont pay attention. She always says I don't listen whenever I ask her to repeat something, sometimes for the 3rd of 4th time. When I'm eating dinner, I can hear my parents whispering in the living room about "Alli got this grade on her quiz" or "Alli did/didn't do this, so she's losing her laptop for a month".
