I recently just got my license. I have been driving to school. I didn't mind it at first but now I hate it. Someone hit me on purpose because they got mad that I didn't let them go then I got a note saying I was in someone's parking spot. Nobody has their own parking spot. Everyone claims their "own" space and when someone takes "theirs" they get really mad. My uncle use to go to that school and his window got smacked because someone threw a rock at it. Ever since the note and the hit I have been extremely nervous. My heart starts pounding and my stomach hurts an hour and a half before school even ends. Everyone is crazy at that school trying to get out. They are going over the grass, speeding and almost hitting people, almost hitting other cars while backing up, beeping, throwing eggs and breaking the wipers on their friends cars, etc. My leg was shaking today as i had my foot on the break trying to get out of the parking lot .I want to take the bus just because it is so crazy and it makes me so nervous but I also wish I could just drive to school and not have to deal with all that stuff. I feel like I am a bad driver sometimes even though people tell me I'm not and i still question things and when ever someone is behind me or waiting for me to turn/back up I get nervous and feel like I am under pressure. Does anyone have any advice on how to handle this especially with driving to school?

If the situation is upsetting you so much that it affects your driving then I think you ought to just ake the bus to school and drive when you want to go anywhere else. I would much rather relax and let someone else drive than worry about what might happen.

Thanks and yeah I was thinking that but if I always take the bus then I will never get use to the parking there because most likely I'm not going to pay to take the bus next year so I won't have a choice. I'm fine everywhere else I go. It's just school.
