I'm sorry I just gotta rant..
My school literally has no respect for any student ever, especially students who are in band and choir. We have the balance all the contests, clinics, field trips, etc. that being in band and choir brings us. Yet our school doesn't acknowledge that most of the students like this (one being me) have so much stress that it ended up giving me depression. Right now, I have to practice my band solo, choir solo, concert band contest music, concert choir contest music, and folk group contest music with all the school work I get every day. Contest is in about 18 days and I might not get to perform any of my solos because I have to focus on the stupid schoolwork that I miss because of everything band and choir brings. I'm literally in tears right now because I cannot balance schoolwork, band, choir, physical activity (exercising), and my social life. I'm actually thinking of dropping my friends and stop exercising so I can get through this hell of school. I literally cannot do a single thing as I watch my entire world go up in flames. I no longer have a dream of what I want to do as a job since right now, I don't think I'd be able to finish any of the schoolwork that comes with it. Right now, I'm considering dropping out and just working at a gas station or something cause I'm physically not able to do this...
