There are many many things I feel like I can't endure anymore. The pressure from my parents and my main teacher (I passed all my exams and tests this semester, my grade point average is at 3,4/4, but they insist that it's not enough and want me to take more AP classes).

I hate the ambient comformism there. People (teachers and students) will tell you what to think, what to say, what to do, what to like, and students who show the slighest sign of difference are rejected, excluded, called names, humiliated. God I hate this.

Moreover, the teachers seem not to care about our mental heatlh, adding more and more hours to our timetables (which is supposed to be forbidden...), giving us an *** load of homework each week, and expecting us to complete all the schoolwork at a high level. The headmaster wants our school to become more competitive, which is why we are all expected to be brillant. Like if we were some kind of robots or indsutrial products to be sold.

I've been working really hard, so hard that it's difficult for me to find time for my hobbies, and my friends/boyfriend. Plus, I have a part time job, which takes away even more of my free time. So if they keep subjecting me to more and more extra classes... I don't know what I will become lol

It makes me want to completely give up. Not only school, but also work, and social life, family and friends. I just want to shut myself in my room for the rest of my life. That would be relieving.

But I think I would regret it, I've been getting really good grades until now, and I worked my *** off to get there. Same for my current job, I spent a lot of time in training to get it. I just think it would be disrespectful to myself to give in and mess up years and years of hard work, just because of a few people.

I don't know how to handle this...
Kibou,

Since you are a high school student in France, you have a couple of options to help you finish your education:
  • study abroad for one semester in another country and do a homestay
  • finish your high school diploma through an online education company as we call it "home school."

Also, I highly recommend you search tutor websites. I used to tutor students here in the U.S. to help them structure their study time with their extracurricular activities, and help them create a daily schedule for themselves to follow that their parents could post on their kitchen refrigerator so that the student felt he/she had the support of their family.

Finish high school. You are in a great country. After that, you can get a job. Or, you can go to art school or be an entrepreneur or go to college. The world is yours to take, but first, you need to find a way to help yourself manage the courseload and the mental stress of studies and exams and a social life as a high school student.
