Dear Year 7 Student,

I am a year 9 student and I need some advice regarding homework, because I can’t organize a routine to do the homework that is required and this stresses me out. Moreover, this disturbs me when I sleep and I really want to improve that. I also need strategies to improve my grades and how I organize my routine to do the homework.

This issue is affecting me in many different ways and that is really bothering me because it is messing with my studies and with my learning process. In addition, I am overloaded with the activities in my home. Besides, it is really important this year. This is why I need to improve in the exams. I am getting really stressed because my grades are starting to be affected by this issue, making them get lower. This is causing me a lot of stress and I'm taking it out on my parents and friends and it's making me behave badly at school.

I would really appreciate your help with this issue and I hope you guys can help me the best way possible.

Best regards,

Dear Y9 student,

Your problem is that you can’t organize your routine to do your homework. I notice that this is being very bad for your daily life. Something you could try to do is a homeroom at school.  

I think your problem is that you don’t pay attention to the class or you forget that you have one activity to do. If you pay attention in class you are going to understand more. In my experience, looking for a solution for the problem works really well. Your cause is that you stress your family and friends, and if you don’t stop being rude to your friends and family they will stop talking to you. Your consequences are that you behave badly and get stressed. If you think that you are getting angry really fast you could go to a therapy, it might work. If you were more gentle to your family and friends, you could ask them for help. 

My mom paid a man for helping me when I am in doubt. It really helps me and it makes me organize my studies. I think  you could try, it would probably work. Another cause is that you can’t organize your studies and your consequences are that when you can’t organize it and it messes with studies. If you don’t study or do your homework, you don’t pass the year in school. My other advice is that you should study in times that you see you can’t focus on. If you organize your school activities and home activities you will study better.  Make sure you don't forget to study for  exams and graded activities. If you organised your stuff you could sleep better and focus more at class.       

Don’t forget that you need to see how you can forgive your family and friends. If you don’t think that is a good idea or you already tried it, why don’t you talk to a  teacher  that you trust  to see if they can explain better for you or if they teach some exercises for you. I hope that this can help you and you will be able to  talk with your friends and family.

Sincerely,
