Recently, I began high school. Not a big deal for most people, but I had been homeschooled all my life.
Things are going wrong.
I'm missing homework. I forgot to write a paper. I can't research for papers. I spent an entire art class just deciding what to draw. I have horrible stomach aches due to anxiety. The school didn't have my schedule at first on the first day, so I sobbed and practically hyperventalated in the bathroom. I spend my time panicking and trying not to cry.
But that's just background.
Recently, I was unable to complete my homework. I thought "not a big deal, right? I'll just do it during study hall."
Except I couldn't. There's one reason.
People.
I need silence or at least quiet to focus, and I've talked to the people around me about being quiet. The boys at my school didn't take me seriously, and kept talking loudly. (Some of these same boys 'flirt' with me because it makes me flustered, but that's beside the point.)
So I couldn't do my homework. I need study hall. I need to get my homework and other work done. I know a lot of people need silence or quiet to focus, but there's still no rule against it.
Does anyone know how to fix my problem or get said boys to take me seriously?

Hey fellow freshie!
Me and my cousin just started highschool and we're expieriencing pretty much the same stuff. Yester day -ugh- I forgot my BIOLOGY homework. And I have forgotten my calculator a number of times.
Study hall? Yikes girl. Is that something you can move around? If so, pick a teacher who's stricter or maybe less frequented. Earplugs are definetly an option. Of heaphones blasting the white noise. Whichever works.
Another thing I can say: find some time to relax. Take 15 minutes of your day, whether it's in the morning or right after you get home from school. Set a timer and do some breathing excersises.
That's all from me. One freshman to another- I'll be praying for you Icy!
