As a 15 year old sophomore in high school, things can be tricky. You're still trying to figure out what you want to do, who you are, what your sexuality is, who you like and dislike, what your strengths and weaknesses are. As a teenager, what I've found is most common in high school today is that fitting in can be one of the hardest things you'll have to do. Sometimes you might have to talk to different people and find similar interests. It took me almost two years to be friends with the people I talk to now. And it's difficult. You have to find people that make you happy, and that you can trust.
Now, high school is very serious. Freshman year is pretty much the year where you can almost stay a middle schooler in some ways. But in sophomore year they don't take it anymore. I hear people complaining about the amount of homework we get, but yet they want to go to college. It just doesn't seem to make sense to me at all.
Also, what a lot of people have a hard time with, (I know I do) is trying to focus in class. You have cute boys/girls (sometimes) around you that you want to stare at, you have your best friend just inches away from you where you're eager to gossip about the newest break up in the school, and you have your phone in your pocket. What I find most helpful is sitting away from your friends, and if possible when asked to partner up, work alone. It's not because I'm a loner, it's because I work best alone and because I want to get my work done. Now some people may find this silly, but it's something that's worked for me for a long time.
So I hoped this helped. Especially from someone who goes through things like this every day and struggles.
