Right Now help: I missed so many days and I’m only in grade 9. - Help.com

I missed so many days and I’m only in grade 9.

We’re talking 28.5 days in the first semester alone. I truly believe that next year when I have a fresh start, I will do better, but I feel that it’s too late because of this screw up. I elementary I used to get marks in the 80s. But with all the days I’ve missed in high school, I’ve fallen behind and even if I do get good marks in my work, the stuff I never handed in brings my grades down greatly. I did this in grade 9, too. But I was so excited about high school this year and starting off from the first day I was a wreck. But now I know, and I won’t let these same mistakes happen again. If I don’t get into university, that’s it. I’ll be good for nothing just like my brother is right now (we’re a year apart and he quit school this year). I freak out about it

I believe that next year will be a fresh start for me, I’ve stayed the same these last few weeks of school though because there’s not much I can really do and I feel so behind. Next year I won’t have a huge pile of neglected homework and I’ll be on top of everything. But by doing so bad this year, I’ve ruined so many opportunities for myself. My parents and few friends are ashamed of me as I am myself. I’m terrified that next year will end up being a repeat of this year, although I doubt it will be after realizing how important these years of school really are. I want to become a biologist so of course I need high grades, but do I even have a chance anymore? I just have to know.

I think that if I have no future then I have no right to exist.
