Chrysalis,

Hun, you can't let yourself keep feeling as though you are going to let others down.
You have to learn to allow yourself to be happy and just do the best you can. You have time to pull something together for that Science experiment. I think you may be "adding much of the pressure you have on yourself" yourself. You have to slow down and understand that none of us can make "everyone happy" that is just so impossible.
You have to realize that all you can do is the best you can, and if someone is unhappy, well, that is "their problem" not yours. Learn that now and you will save yourself so much grief. I have been there myself and I just finally realized that it is not my responsiblity to make "everyone happy".

I don't understand why your art teacher is giving you a "hard time" either. I am wondering if you are not understanding "constructive criticism", which basically means someone can see your talent and tries to help you "expand on it". It can take time to understand that, especially with art because it is such a personal form of expression.

I think you are "very sensitive" and you just need some time to toughin up a little.
Very "creative people" can be "very sensitive", in fact many of the greats were very sensitive people. But I can tell you, you definitely have "talent", if I was an art teacher I would be very "excited" about your work.

Just make sure you keep trying to take the pressure off of yourself. You have lots of growing to do, and a talent that deserves to grow and flourish. So ease up on yourself, practice good "self care" which means to make sure you are not hard on yourself, but "caring" instead.

((((Hugs)))
