So I know this probably isn’t a big problem to anyone reading this but to me it is so I’m gonna explain. Basically what’s happening is because of the covid pandemic my grades have been getting worse and I’ve been getting more stressed because of it and in order to help cope with this stress I usually call my friends and ask them for advice. But, because of my grades lowering my parents decided it would be a good idea to take away my phone (aka my main source of helping me lower my stress) away and giving me at least 1 hour a day to use a phone, plus hiding it in places they know I won’t be able to get at. You may be thinking, “Your parents are in the right and you should quit complaining” but my problem is that I have an older sister who doesn’t get the treatment that I have, even when she gets bad grades and that makes me so upset to my freaking core. I feel like my parents are targeting me and antagonizing me for being stressed in a very bad situation and I hate it. And I can’t even try talking to them about it because I’m not sure how they’ll respond to my feelings. If anyone is reading this I would like to know if you have any thoughts or ideas on how to deal with this because I’m honestly not sure what to do.
No your parents are not in the right and if complaining helps, complain, as long as it’s not hurting others. Do your parents know about your stress/anxiety?
With schoolwork, listen to music like Two Steps From Hell, it’s inspirational but doesn’t have words to distract you (I can recommend a few). And when you study, write it down like you’re teaching yourself and in a way that makes you happy. Include jokes for the fun of it! And make your notes look pretty, it’ll make you want to look at it. Maybe this is just me being weird but if you’re struggling for motivation to study, bust out your school books, a playlist and some snacks/book/TV show. Work for 20-30 minutes with a timer on, and pretend you’re in a movie montage where you’re the hero training to beat the beast aka the School Monster. And when it’s been 20-30 minutes, have a snack/read a chapter/watch an episode. Then start again!
When I get anxious or angry, I workout, just a bit. I do some Just Dance as dancing is my passion and sit ups to angry songs and practise punching. I also wear an elastic band on my wrist so I can fidget with it when I’m anxious. If it’s needing a distraction, pick 3 things around you and make a story :)
Sorry this is long and may not be helpful! I try :)
Parents think we r helping by limiting “social media”, however this is sometimes just ur outlet, or a way to release ur feelings w9thout feeling judged,
To study well during virtual learning is not hard. People, who maintain good grades or so-called smart, are just like everyone else. They just develop their skills like time management and staying focused in class. Keep your phone away during class and keep on telling yourself to focus and force yourself to listen in class plus take necessary, important notes. Try that. As for your parents, i don’t know their side of the story well, but try to hear them out first, why they do it, what they do it for. Then if their answer doesn’t seem to be considerate, tell them whatever you have in mind, shout if you have to because in the end, words will fly into their ears, it’s hard not to miss listening to that. They’ll either give you the answer, take some time to think, or leave you be.
