Can't get anything right

I’m posting here because I have nobody to talk to, and I am really losing it right now. I really just want to stop going to school all together. Last semester I had trouble turning in assignments on time so this semester I promised I would be on top of it. I go online by the way. I thought I was doing great I was turning in everything ahead of time. I didn’t hear from her for weeks. I think so anyway. Today I get on and there are all these messages from my teacher. I had it all wrong. I turned it in too early. I should have waited for the lecture etc….. I feel like I’m so behind now. I still have to watch like 6 classes and redo the assignments. I just want to quit!!!! I’m tired of being a failure but I’m more tired of working so hard just to be a failure anyway. I don’t care what people think of me anymore!!!!

Hello booksnmyhead: I'm sorry you are in the midst of such confusion. I have to mention that I'm an older person. So, when I was going to school attending on-line was simply was not an option... it did not exist. However, simply based on experiences I've had over the years on social media, I can imagine how complicated trying to go to school on-line could be.

Perhaps all of this is simply an indication that trying to go to school on-line is just not the best option for you? Just because it's possible to do something doesn't mean it's a good idea for everyone. And the fact that you've had this unfortunate experience doesn't make you a failure either. From my perspective, getting everything straight when you're attending school in person is difficult enough. I personally can't imagine trying to do it on-line.

So, anyway, I hope that you can find a way to step back from this unfortunate experience & see it as simply one unfortunate experience... one that was probably as much or more your teacher's fault as yours. (After all, you didn't hear from her for weeks, as you wrote.) Beyond that... I think if you don't want to go to school, you shouldn't feel like you have to simply to satisfy or impress others. The only reason to go is because it's what you want to do for yourself. But if you do want to go, then perhaps you simply need to consider if the way you're doing it is the best way for you. At least these are my thoughts with regard to your post.

I am sorry this experience has been poor for you so far. I think the teacher should've let you know right away that you were turning in assignments too early...but that also seems strange to me, because if the assignment was done correctly, why would that be a problem?

I'm sorry you have this problem going on. I know about that feeling. My high school freshman year was so tough and it was so hard for me to do all the work and turn stuff in and no one helped me and I basically had to do it all by myself. I just wanna say i know the feeling.

Are you in college or in high school? Expectations are different for both.
