scared of school

I remember walking up the hill to school. I would always turn up late because I hated walking by myself to school amongst the crowds of horrible kids. I would also walk the long way home to avoid the same thing. By year 12 though I didn't care anymore thank crist. I read somewhere that people going through adolescence haven't yet developed the part of the brain which controls empathy and rationality, and I can believe that.

When I needed advise, my sister told me "be smart". Literally. Throw yourself into your studies because thats what you're there for, and it will always give you something to do and distract yourself from perceived dangers. And by the time you're finished, you know who will be working for you.

Life does get better, believe me. School helps build character and the people who had it easy are the kind who never move on. Great things are coming to you!
