Britt - Take a deep breath and relax. I remember going through awful days at your age and just feeling soooo bad. Things always got better though. And remember the saying: What doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger. You learn and grow as a person as you go through both negative and positive experiences. Just always remember to be the better person. I am sorry the girl made you feel so bad. You could always draw her face on a pillow and punch it a few times Next time something like that happens, just keep your cool and ignore the person. That will really get to them.

There is nothing wrong with talking to a therapist. That is what they are there for! Or maybe you could talk to your parents or another relative? Just remember everyone goes through the pressures and stress at your age. Keep your chin up and the bad feelings will end

Just one thing though, do you really blame the teacher on your grade? Even if you do, you should never call him a horrible teacher. Even if he really is a horrible one, you should still show him respect. And eeek, don't throw pom poms at teachers Your science class with no extra credit will be a good preparation for college. There's almost never extra credit in college and most of the time the professors could care less if you pass or fail.

So put a smile on that face and know that the sunshine always eventually comes and chases away the storms.
