What eneded up happening to me is that I ended up getting too comfortable with things not being challenging. But when I got to college, it wasn't just going from 12th to "13th" grade, it's a massive spike in difficulty on top of managing yourself if you're dorming (which I did). I was not prepared for it at all.

u/DukeofVermont 24d ago
What's funny for me personally is I was a 4.0 college student, but a terrible high school student.
Amazing what happens when you take classes that actually interest you and don't have class before 9am. I never understood the kids in my major's core classes who didn't pay attention, didn't come to class, didn't do assignments and did poorly. Dude you picked this major, if you aren't interested in it maybe you should pick something else.
Now there is a caveat for "difficult" generals and the few classes you have to take that you don't like, but if you can't bother with your major's core classes I don't know what to tell you.
Also being from New England I have a suspicion that my high school was simply much harder than a lot of the other high schools in the US and as a result my bachelors and masters were not harder than high school by any appreciable degree. In my high school if you skipped a class twice you automatically failed until you met with a guidance councilor to discuss why attendance is important and wrote a paper about it.

Or they could've just had no idea what they wanted or what they're passionate about, so they ended up listening to whatever advices from other people and picking a major that they would realise down the line does not interest them. Isn't it absurd to ask an 18 year old what they want to do for the rest of their life?

The majority of your assistance should come from your parents. It is the responsibility of your parents to support you when you struggle not to berate you when you fail. I can't even begin to explain just how much more difficult my mom made school for me. I never felt accomplished from a good grade, I only ever felt relief that I wouldn't be scolded later.

u/Cynunnos 24d ago
At one point I realised that telling my parents about my problems would just make them worried, angered or otherwise overreacted, and most of the times would just worsen my problems, so I stopped seeking help from them (and actively avoided letting them on in my issues) and tried to deal with those myself (which sometimes went terribly but I didn't really have anyone else to reach out to)

i will tell you people this right now. i ended up becoming an engineer and i work in my field which is kinda rare now.
these people don't understand what you do nor will they care. i did what was expected all my life only for the very end they dismissed all of it because what i was doing was too advanced for them to understand as they never graduated or been to college.
these people don't care if you burn out or what it happens. people just want results and the results is making a ton of money and damn anything else.
doing what they expect will lead to a super shitty life down the line where you can take care of yourself but you'll hate living life as it is since the only people ever around you were just parents that told you to burnout in an ever given arms race for higher education.
now what do i do? i just try to chill at work even though the deadlines are shit i've given up i don't see a point of doing this for another 40 years. everything has gone beyond the human limit and its not worth it.

Was an A+ Student at school until I happened to come across "that one teacher"
Who decided to give me a B grade at the end, not because that's what I would have gotten, but because that's what will "motivate" me next year to do even better.
Well, what did young me learn from that? That this shit isn't at all worth it and why even bother trying when you still get punished for it.
Ended up becoming that student that did the bare minimum just to pass and nothing more. Was incredibly hard going to university and actually having to find discipline again and "learn how to properly study".

My reward for my grades was that I would get paid $10 per A, and if I got all A’s an extra 50 would be ontop.
It took me YEARS to get there. 8th grade I finally did, if I remember correctly it was 10 different classes. Didn’t get shit. The money thing never came up again for my grades and I started falling in my grades after that.

I worked super hard through school to be the best student, and I was always top of my class until senior year. Growing up poor in a single family home I jumped at the chance to work when I was 17. I only needed 3 credits to graduate meaning hours a day of schooling. For some reason I was denied entry into the program that let other students leave to work after their required classes. I dropped out a few months before graduation and got my GED to be able to work more.

Your reward is a good understanding of the material and a good education. It's not worth destroying your mental health over but it is something to strive for. It's also most of the reason to be in school in the first place.

It depends.
If you’re in undergrad looking to go to medical/law/graduate school, then it helps to keep your GPA competitive.
GPA will still determine what programs are open to you after graduation.
If you’re in a program just for the immediate degree (with no intention to go beyond) then a pass is a pass

The problem is that you weren't challenged enough early, so when it actually got difficult, you didn't have the mental tools to deal with having to struggle with a subject.
People who are used to having to do extra work, and get extra help, tend to do better when they're confronted with things they can't do immediately. They don't think there is anything wrong with them, and they know that they're capable of getting it in the long run if they work at it.

Both things can be true tho, cus burn out is a thing, like, After I started highschool and noticed the difficulty spike, I tried harder and worked more than I did before, and it helped, but after a while it just...became pointless? Like, i know I'm sounding very Nihilistic rn, but a good chunk of ppl have just, lost the will to keep going on, like, there is this push to make school a competition, and the constant fact that your grades define what you'll be when you're older, especially in current times, and just, everything...it's too much for some ppl

A lot of bright kids too didn’t realize that their school was struggling with limited resources and were so focused on stopping the majority of kids from falling behind that what they were bringing was enough to make them exceptional in that environment.
Then they get to college and suddenly everyone around them is good enough to be there, the professor isn’t just trying to get a class full of kids through the year but is actually challenging a room full of scholars. Suddenly, what was enough to be the best is now hardly enough

Pretty sure this is what happened to me because Covid and its aftermath was ongoing during high school, and I was able to get by with minimal effort. Going into college I didn’t have any skills with time management or studying or really challenging myself and I think that made me lose motivation really fast.
16
u/RealisticIncident261 24d ago
That's 100% how it was for me, I got straight A's k-12 and freshman year of university. Then I struggled with my next three(actually more cause I started going part time and working full time).
I never had to study until I got to sophomore year of college. I literally just did all my homework in class. I never took notes. And I had time to read a fuck ton of books while I was in class. I never studied for the act or sat. I just took them. And got really high scores.
When I was a sophomore i finally started struggling, I was finally taking notes, but I scrambled to do all my homework work hours before it was due. I was writing 10 page papers the night before and doing semester long projects 24 hours before they were due.
There were 3 classes I got nearly 100% in, but I didn't attend them because there was not attendance policy. Calc 2 the professor opened the entire semestera worth of home work on my math lab. I took a weekend and did the entire semester worth of homework with the help of khan academy. Stats with programming in r was the same except the professor had all of his lecture from previous semester up on YouTube. Then I did the khan academy thing for linear algebra.

u/Izan_TM 24d ago
I feel like it also has to do with realizing the end result of just passing and of acing a subject is exactly the same (for mandatory school at least in a lot of cases), and you might not need to put in any effort to just pass, while you need to pull out all the stops to ace it.
I personally had a lot of tools at my disposal that I ended up leaving behind when I realized I was gaining nothing by trying so hard, since I ended up in the exact same place as all of my classmates who got way worse grades (this was 12 year old me making those choices, so keep that in mind when you notice the blatant lack of nuance and long-term foresight in that logic)

And then you work a job after finishing school and find out it’s simpler/more straightforward than school if not easier once you get the hang of it. Plus it pays and can have benefits. That was my experience no job is perfect, a job’s a job, it’s just that school is a whole different thing from the workforce.

u/Scooty-Poot 24d ago
Real. In most jobs, a passing grade is literally all anyone expects from you. “Just don’t get fired” is better advice than “excel beyond expectations”, because you’re probably getting paid the same regardless, not including any commission or bonuses of course.
If I was teleported back to Year 11 right now, I’d probably have a panic attack or stress-induced depression by the second week. I’m too used to the “average is safe” mindset of modern employment to cope with shooting for even just a B, let alone A+

I'm 46 and not one employer in my entire life has EVER asked to see my diploma or my grades. It's all a bunch of horseshit, and my "permanent record" has been sealed since 1998 and probably stopped existing a year after I graduated.
I could've dropped out and led the exact same life. Don't take high school too seriously. Use your time there to form lasting friendships and a social support group that you can rely on in hard times. The social aspect of high school is more important to your life than anything else. And I don't mean being popular. Those folks often crash and burn hard because they're looking for approval and more often than not, from the wrong people. I mean, be a good friend to a solid group of people and you'll always have a couch to land on if you need it... and I have many times.

don't go to uni if you aren't ready, you absolutely will fail out, one year of college is like $20k-$40k down the drain. it is much harder than high school too, if you don't have good study habits you will not succeed and it'll be a bigger shit show than just not going or delay going for 5 years until you're ready. getting certs or learning a trade will put you far ahead, not only do you start out at $0 instead of minus $80k, you start making money 4-5 years earlier than those getting out of uni, so you're like 10 years up at that point, and if you were going to fail out anyway then you're like 15+ years up

I'm very smart and a really good student because of that. It’s not as great as it seems because I’ve always gotten good grades, so I HAVE to keep getting good grades; other people have certain expectations about how my life will turn out, and I’m a real perfectionist, I’m constantly stressed and very hard on myself. Once, when I was very young, my father told me I was so smart that they could have sent me to a school for “gifted” kids, but they couldn’t afford it. That stuck with me even though so many years have passed because it’s part of the overall way people treat me: since I’m smart and “gifted,” I’m expected to do things that are smart and “gifted.” I really doubt I’m the latter, but I know I’m the former, and for the past year I’ve been using therapy to help me not live under so much stress from other people’s (and SPECIALLY my own) expectations.
What I’m getting at is that being smart sucks, and I get that, but there are ways to live with it and use your intelligence to your advantage instead of just dealing with its downsides.

Just wait until this happens in adulthood. You go from the person with all of the answers, person that people go to fix issues, and trying to go up the management path as quickly as possible.......until you no longer care because you have seen what upper management looks like.
You realize the sacrifices aren't worth the tiny bit more in reward and you kinda just realize one day that there is no point to really trying. The extra effort and caring aren't worth the hassle. You make the same.amount no matter what and if anything working so hard only puts you in a bad or stressed out mood and that only makes people like you less.
So you just stop. You try and become a middle of the pack employee. Teachers being disappointed at you is nothing compared to bosses that now have to do their own work, or lean on their full team equally. Boy do they not like it.
Truly the best thing to do is never try 100% because then that will become the new standard.
If this is you either work for yourself or just do not give 100% and save enough for yourself.

The trick is to just pick easy teachers. Look them up on Ratemyprofessor, and look at what grades each of the former students got. Some teachers just want excuses to bring your grade down, so just avoid those people and you'll be a straight A student.

I (a man) was the opposite of this, from the start of my school life I never really wanted to take top spots so I don't have to compete with my twin sisters (a year younger) for tops.
Then college hits, since I now learn separately (which was a bit far away, needing a car to get their), from them I now want the top spot because our parents rewards us (my sisters mostly) whenever we have high grades.
Now, que to me having a 1.25 and 1.50 grades on my first semester, I am now asking for funds for an event I was going to, and planned, for a week or two. But no, my mother focused most of it renovating a part of the house, leaving me with little to nothing, now, of course I could have attended the event even without my funds.
But the kicker? They can only let me go their for 2 hours, two whole hours for a 3 day event! (for context they don't want me going anywhere alone, where as my siblings can go to their friends for projects or practices no problem since theirs two of them) now, of course, I get a little mad, not violently or loudly, just letting it go and bottling inside me since I can't really fight them, not since my father always sides with my mom.
Now, I'm banned from going to any events since I was so pissy about missing the last one (effectively grounding me inside the house since I'm not even allowed from going outside without good reason) saying that I should be greatful since they let me enter an amazing engineering college causing my sisters to chose a less than desireable one (which I wasn't told of, typical of them)
Now, you might be asking: why not live in a form or seperate/closer to your college?
Answer: they don't want me to, saying "It's too dangerous, you might get lost/stolen from/hold up by a robber,. Etc"
For added context, I'm not allowed to enter any kind of sports, they don't want me joining and accepting a walk from my college mates, saying their too roudy and a bad influence for me.
Look, I'm sorry if this isn't the right post or sub to post something like this, but I just want to tell somebody, even in the internet (ensuring that its not too detailed) I nearing my limit mentally and I just need to rant for a bit, thanks for all who read.
