school help: I’m about to go to college and I’m so stressed out. - Help.com

I’m about to go to college and I’m so stressed out.

I come from a very smart family, and if I don’t get as much scholarships as my brother, my dad’s going to be angry at me. My grades are crap because I’ve never been able to focus in school and I haven’t even taken the ACT yet. I’m so stressed, and I can’t even start on anything because it makes me nauseous to think about it.

I think you need to speak with a counselor. You need to speak with someone… and while you can get some of your emotions out here, it’s probably not going to do the trick completely. You are not your brother… you are not your ‘family’… you are YOU. A unique person with joys and loves that are all your own. You simply need to focus on being the best that you can be… and don’t compete with your brother. If your dad is so unreasonable, you and he should meet with the counselor together. His pressure is not helping you, in fact it is hindering you (as you already know).

Tell me. Do you want to go to college? If not, what do you want to do?
