And you are lucky, on some days I have to stay up untill to 2 to finish all mine and then I get up at 6:00 >.<. Hey all we can do is our best..... EDIT: Trust me your principal will not do anything, he will probably give you some crap about how the other kids can do it and maybe give up soccer. BUT, I think P.E. coaches are much more understanding. I bet if you got a note signed from your soccer coach and your moms phone number ( so he can verify+ it makes you look more honest) he will cut you some slack.

Second, it’s sounds like you are over extending yourself. If you have honors classes, band, soccer, and are in 3 clubs, you are setting yourself up for dissappointment. You cannot possibly meet every commitment from those activities, and keep up with honors classes at the same time. Try and narrow it down to either band or soccer and 1 club. Or, if you don’t want to drop band or soccer, then drop all of the clubs and keep both band and soccer. You cannot expect to keep up with your work load with everything that you have on your plate, you simply have to give something up.

Third, as for your P.E. grade, most states will allow you to use any sport for P.E. credit. You should talk to your school counselor, you may be able to get credit for playing soccer, be able to drop your P.E. class, and then use the free class as study hall.

Finally, you are starting your school work too late. You won’t be any good to yourself or anyone of your classes if you don’t get a good night’s sleep every night. You should try for a minimum of 6 hours, but you should be getting 8 hours plus of sleep a night. What does that mean, the minute you get home from school, you start on your homework. Utilize extra time at school (during lunch, during free time, between classes, ride to and from school) to work on assignments as well. Just do your best that’s all anyone can ask of you. Get your homework done first, and then move onto all the fun stuff you like to do.

Maybe you should relax a bit and consider dropping an activity…

I don’t understand why you complain about not having time to hang out when you are on the soccer team and 3 clubs. You join clubs to hang out with other people and do the things you enjoy…

First of all, is your Mom the one who is putting the majority of the pressure on you and you are doing all of this for her, or for yourself?

If you want to get the grades and the scholarships, that is your choice, if your Mom is pressuring you and you really do not want to be working so hard, you will not take it to the end of the school year in any shape to continue.

You can talk to your Mom, or choose to talk to one of the school guidance counselors and even have a conference with your Mom and the counselor and your teachers.

Pressure is a difficult thing for adults to handle, but putting too much pressure on yourself in seventh grade is brutal and unnecessary.

Please talk to everyone soon and straighten this out before you end up in bad health over this. A young person of your age needs to be socializing and having fun as well as going to school. That is how you learn to be a well-rounded adult.
