I have the following problem.
In the meantime I'm going into the upper secondary (10 class) Gymnasiums and in the 9. Fingers everything. I had less and less desire for school day by day, was often ill and always unhappy. I'm glad when I'm at home and now after the Christmas holidays it's at its peak.
My passion is to sit in front of the computer and watch either gambling, YouTube, Netflix, Twitch, or just chat with my internet buddy or RL friends. I would most like to do that, but I know that something will never be possible.
I'm sick of getting up at 6 o'clock every day and then sitting down to class, where half my time I'm completely elsewhere with my thoughts. I often get stomach ache at school because I do not feel well there anymore. I have a lot of absences since I often have only abdominal pain or nausea in the morning. However, these symptoms disappear when I stay home after a few hours. I often have to use the school toilet because of my stomach ache which annoys me…
I sit there wondering why I need it all for later. Of course, my grades are also getting worse. This listlessness simply bothers me so much. I really do not remember what to do.
My dream job is to be a full-time streamer on Twitch or YouTuber, because that's exactly what I insist on. Unfortunately, it is not so easy to make this dream possible and especially not at the age of 16.
Do you have solutions for me? What can I do to make me happy again? I really need urgent advice and help.
You literally melt away from self-pity.
It gets on your nerves that you should do something, that you should take your life into your own hands and that you have to pay for your livelihood in the coming years.
Hanging out, paddling and meeting friends sounds great.
You should be grateful that you live in a country that gives you a very good education. That you grew up in peace, which you will someday also receive yourself. That you have access to healthy food and drink. That you have a roof over your head.
All of this is not as self-evident to more than half of all people as you experience here.
And now stop mourning yourself for having to go to school.
You MAY go to school. You HAVE a great environment and a wonderful land around you.
Damn it and stop crying.
And now sit down, learn, team up with those who love it and do not nag and nag like you do here.
Make something out of your life, which until today have financed others for you.
Which alternative do you have? Your whining brings you absolutely nothing. Do you think your classmates are euphoric every day singing a song about how beautiful the school is?
That does not get better until the 12th grade. But who does a good Abi, has the discipline and the will to sit down anyway.
I can see that I'm in the upper school.
You can, with the agreement of your parents, cancel the school, but what do you have then? Nothing.
After 11 you can just leave as long as you have been transferred, then you would have the theoretical part of the higher education entrance qualification and could after a practical year, for example. Even studying at the University of Applied Sciences.
I do not know if you still read this but I have to write my answer too, because I do not find some answers here "enough".
First of all I have to say that we're pretty much the same in terms of school XD… I'm also 16, also 10th class and I had before vllt. One year exactly the same as you! That is also the reason why I have to give my mustard.
I give you my tip:
Of course it is like that man would prefer to have fun all his life and that's just the way it is. Only that is not so possible. Pay attention, I would say make this desire Streamer and YouTuber to become a life's work and to achieve this goal, you first have to work a bit, including the school. When you're in school asking yourself, "What's this all about?" then always remember that you have a goal to work on and BAM! There's the motivation again.
So my advice is: Find something you want to work on, quietly dream what you want, and who you really want it to be, motivation will not be a question anymore.
I hope that helps you a little bit, because I have already mentioned as already mentioned. (One day I would like to earn my money with possibly YouTube and maybe live in America or Canada.)
Thank you, that really helps me a lot!
