Sometimes I get really stressed BASEBALL IS BACK

[silkieluver_07]

I go to school from 8:30-3:15 and am taking all CP classes my school offers. I work about 18 hours a week at Subway and every other night at a dog kennel. I still have homework to do and I need to make time with my friends. Oh, and I have 4-H meeting that are 2 hours away. Too much stress! So I know exactly how you feel!

I'm so glad I'm "old"

Seems like you kids today have way too much to do! I remember riding my bike and scooter after school with everyone else on the block.... Homework? No - that never took 4 hours!!! Poor kid

Maxx, you are too young to have all those responsibilities. Sounds like you are over programed. Baseball should just be about over, shouldn't it? Then you will have more free time I hope. I don't agree with my kids being maxed out with extra cirricular activities. As long as they do well in school I'm good. If they complain about being tired too often or if they complain about missing so and so's party because they had to go to practice or games, I remind them and will tell them when this seasons over take a break! It was their choice. I just support them.

I have all A's and 1 B+.​

So, you gonna grow up and be a kid? When do you plan on getting that in? They frown on it when you turn forty.
Make some changes. If you burn out NOW, what do you plan on doing in 25 years? There won't be anything left but ash.
It isn't that kids grow up too fast anymore, it is just that there are so many more opportunities out there now that parents feel they need to provide them all.
Sit down and talk to both of your parents.
There are a lot of big deals going on in your life right now. They will help you decide what you need to do for yourself. Don't stress. It will make you forget all of that information that you are working so hard to remember.

I think taking that trash out every Monday is what's doing you in.

Seriously, it sounds like your schedule is way full. You have to make some time to do something that relaxes you. Good luck.

I DO hang out with my friends. But usually on the weekends.

Hey try not to sweat it to much. My DD age 14 had the same problem last year when she was in 7th grade...and she made the HIGH DISTINCTION HONOR ROLL. But now things have settled down a bit for 8th grade and she has a lot more time to just hang out.
But you do need to find time to just chill everyday. Otherwise your gonna just run yourself down and then where will you be?
Hang in there and know that all of us here care.

That is great. But you missed my point. You ARE complaining about being stressed out. You are a young kid. You should be enjoying your young years, not being stressed out. Somethings gotta give. Like I asked, baseball should be done with soon?? Then you can relax a bit I hope.
