Dear You

I am not the perfect student

Dear you,

I am not the perfect student and I am messy and clumsy and I don't manage my time well but putting me down won't fix that. I know that I am all these things but what you don't know is how hurt I am all the time. If only you understood that I cry every night and you aren't making it any better.

I'm not good in maths but that doesn't mean I'm not working my arse off. My room is "a tip", as I say in your words, but you don't see how I get home and have to get ready for something else whilst you're telling me to hurry up. I am clumsy but that's only because walking and running is at the bottom of the list when it comes to priorities. I don't manage my time well because I have no time.

So I am not studying for this test right now and I'm not focusing because I have worked so hard that I'm getting a migraine. You didn't see me breaking down at school today and yesterday. My only release is music and my only comfort is my friends. So taking my phone away is making things 5000 times worse.

Please at least try to understand.

Sincerely,

Me
