Since the start of August 2025, I started 10th grade and I thought I was gonna be okay and make it out alive. But I was wrong. Ever since school started, I’ve been stressed almost every day. One of the biggest things weighing on me is AP Computer Science A. I took Java last year, but over the summer I forgot most of it — and now I’m expected to remember everything, keep up with new topics like 2D arrays, and somehow be ready for the AP exam at the end of the year. It’s honestly taking a toll on me. I feel like I’m constantly behind, even when I try to catch up.
On top of that, I feel like I have to be successful, make my parents proud, get a good job in the future, and not mess up my chances. I don’t really tell anyone how I feel because I don’t want people to worry or think I’m being dramatic, so I just keep everything inside and act normal. But it’s getting heavy, and I don’t really know how to handle it anymore. I think I might need someone to talk to before it gets worse.
I don't want to be seen worrying almost everyday by my friends and family. I would love to tell them but it's hard for me.
