Welcome to Psych Central, felicia. I don't know exactly because I liked school because I was a very competitive person and wanted to do good. What I did not like about school is the fear of failure. The anxiety and stress levels were high especially on tests. But it did teach me how to deal with stress!

There are lots of compassionate people here that can make the load lighter by sharing and caring.

Many people find compassionate, caring people here at PC. Some people find the forums give them the compassion and empathy they seek. http://forums.psychcentral.com
