So I am a freshman in highschool we are about two weeks in and I just took a quiz in math, I felt so sure of myself because I knew the content and I took the course of the summer. Then I got a 91.4% on it and since there isn't much else in the grade book I have an A- and now I have this awful pit in my stomach and feel like dying. I can't keep living in constant fear of getting a grade under a 100. I need help I feel like my future is ruined by this one grade. I hate my life and I don't know what to do.

You sound like a very smart person. Sound like you get good grades in school. It ok to not get all the answer right on a test. That happens to everyone. Just try to relax and do your best in school. If you get too upset that when you can not focus on the test or on your school work.when you feel like you are get upset try to take a slow breath and rember you can do it. I know you believe n yourself.

Congratulations for the good grade. You are putting too much pressure on yourself to feel that you have to get 100 percent grades on everything. It is being unrealistic and being unfair to yourself. You are obviously a smart student. Just work hard, study and do the best you can do. Have a good year in school.

One of the best things about being all freshman is having four more years to get your GPA up high again in time for college. Just take a moment to step back and breathe. You got this

Don't expect perfection. No one is perfect and achieving a perfect score can only be done by a machine. Humans are made to be not perfect. No one will judge you because you get a score that ain't perfect because guess why, no one cares about a perfect score (in 99,8 percent of the case) Get this into your mind and believe in it because it's the truth. You're very smart, use it to live a happy life and not to ruin your life.

I graduated from High School over a decade ago and honestly I cannot recall a single score I received on any test. Same goes for college.

It may seem like the end of the world now but you've got a lot of living ahead of you and in the long run you're going to realize that you're an intelligent person regardless of arbitrary numbers assigned to you.

    On Saturday, while I was at yard sales with my best friend, my lawn guy texted me that he did my lawn.  This costs me $70 every two weeks or so.  I don't have great grass so sometimes, he skips.  Anyway, I paid him on CashApp when I got home.  On Sunday morning, he texted me again, to say goodbye because he was moving.  My little thinking cap went on and I thought about how I am healthier...
