You were so smart and you used to excel so quickly. What happened? Why didn’t you study? Why didn’t you sit down and do your work? Can’t you see how much pain I’m in now? I’m so behind in everything I do. I’m very afraid I’ll never get into college. I’ll never be ahead again. You ruined your own life and you didn’t even think about yourself now, as a junior in high school. My grades are so unbelievably low and I’ve tried everything. I’m so disappointed with myself I often contemplate suicide because I don’t want to live a life in the dust.
