stressed about studies and disappointing loved ones

These days I have been feeling very stressed about school. Not just exams but my academic life in general. I’m unable to focus on studies, complete assignments, meet deadlines, or participate in class activities. And this is further adding to my stress. I have always been a straight A student and I would hate to disappoint myself, my parents, and my teachers. I cannot think of a reason for why I have started having these troubles now. How can I get myself back on track?

Hey. I'm assuming you're talking about online school here? Online learning is taking a toll on all of us, from getting used to a new way of learning to spending hours on end in front of a screen. Try to organise your day such that your work load is divided into smaller chunks so you don't feel all the pressure at once. It might even help to consider ways of reducing screen time and getting some physical activity, if possible. Take care!

There could be many reasons for why you feel like this. To begin with, can you shed light on a few details? Which grade are you on? What subjects do you have? What has your performance ranged in thus far?

Hey Hansa, I am in 12th standard, PCM is my background and I have always ranged between 80%-90%. Do let me know next

The Indian school syllabus for Science students can be extremely demanding. While a good performance in science subjects is a good indicator for success in PCM, there are a lot of other factors to consider. The demands as well as the amount of work that it requires is something academicians do not prepare students for. As a result it is not uncommon to feel overwhelmed and further loose interest in the subjects. How has your performance been in grade 11? What were the changes that you saw in your performance from 10th to 11th?
