Doing bad in School + Cruel Girls = Misery

[Lapis_Lazuli]

Shield of numbness breaking
Head pounds like small drum
Ponds of tears cover both eyes

I ponder on why I’m miserable:

Tich is constantly cruel to me
What she says hurts me deeply
It's getting worse and worse

Niqa attempts to manipulate
I worry my pals will be victims
A backstabber to her friends
Ruthless towards her enemies
I wish I never tried to save her

I can't stand Tich and Niqa
I wish they'd treat me better

I’m doing horrible in school
I mostly sleep when I’m home
I’d crack if I did my homework
I’m stressed to the maximum
So here I am writing poetry

Well writing that poem barely helped and took about an hour...at least it summarized my feelings and the issues.

Any advice on what to do?

This too shall pass. Writing poetry helps. Sleep when you need rest.

While it is true that life can be hard, you have to prove that you're stronger than that. And you sound like you are.

When I was in Junior High School (no idea what grade you're in, but I'll use my own experiences), I barely did my homework because I was depressed and the kids in my classes like Charlotte, Nicole, Rachel, Anam, all made fun of me.

Now, unless you're going to cut it lucky like I did (I got into LaGuardia High School with my art skills opposed to my grades!), your grades are going to severely suffer.

Don't be afraid to talk to your parents or legal guardians about how you feel, or even your friends. Friends are there for a reason. If your friends are unwilling to listen to you and let you cry to them, then they're not really friends.

You will definitely get through this, because you are strong. Just hold tight, don't give up, and do try to get your homework done, for the sake of going to college / keeping up your GPA. Remember, you're not going to do well in school for your parents or your friends. You're going to do well in school for yourself, so that you can get a good job, and prove to everyone that nobody, not even yourself, will hold you back.

Do keep up the poetry writing as well, because that seems to be a way to relieve stress for you. If things get really bad, like you feel like you ARE going to snap, go see a therapist ASAP.

Hope this has been helpful.
