Input: Ok, so I’m a junior in high school, and I’ve been hit HARD by school. It’s not an exaggeration to say this has been my hardest month of school ever. I have 7 classes, 5 of them are AP/honors level, and I signed myself up for way too much shit. My biggest problem is that I get really anxious when I overwhelmed, and i end up avoiding everything by procrastinating on the internet. I’ve had a year long research paper I just finished yesterday, test, projects, hw, insanity. My dad knows this and wanted to help the whole time.

My parents are divorced btw, they switch off at the house weekly. I asked for his help on much of the stuff, but then I lied about the year long research paper. We’d been working together on it all February, so two weeks ago at the switch off,I told him I got a rough draft in, when I hadn’t finished it. This made him happy because he thought I had just made the deadline. My mom had a stressful work project she couldn’t help me. 

So how did I spend the two weeks while my paper was overdue? Panicking and wasting all my time on YouTube and Reddit. I frequently told my mom I was studying when I wasn’t. I also told my dad when it was his week and he asked that the teacher was being really late on getting back comments, still covering up how behind I truly was. Finally, it came to Wednesday, I bombed a Biology test, I bombed a music theory test, I was pissed off and scared. I told my mom that I got back the comments, and my “analysis is weak,” and I need help. She didn’t til 2 am with me working on it, and finally, together we scrounged together a decent paper and turned it in yesterday. Who knows how badly my grade will be affected by the lateness, luckily I managed A’s on that class’s tests without studying because I’m just good at history tests. I actually managed to do most of my overdue hw and now I’m chilling for the first time in 2019. 

So I understand that I messed up, I signed up for only 5 classes next year. I know I should’ve told my parents about my hw truthfully, but they would’ve just been more stressed and come down on me, making me more anxious. It sorta all worked out in the end. So am I the asshole, and what should I do going forward?
