This isn't meant to be one of those 'Hey kids, don't be like me' stories, but if the shoe fits . . .

Looking back I can see where/why I failed at school. Like anything else that is stressful, I avoided my studies where I could. I remember doing only two pages of maths work in my final two years. At the time I didn't know why, but since finishing school and dealing with regular life stressors, I've noticed the same parttern of avoidance.

e.g. I avoid doing my taxes, and usually end up doing them in a bunch when I start worrying about prison. Or I avoid regular car maintenance, because that also makes me stressed. etc.

So while I look back with regret, I'm not sure I'd be doing anything different if i was in high school now.

Anyone else depressed/regretful over their school experiences?
