Taking a break from school

Hey everyone, I’ve got something pretty heavy on my mind that I need to share. Recently, I made a tough decision to take a break from school. It’s been a whirlwind of emotions, especially with my parents being incredibly disappointed about it.

the truth is, I’ve been struggling a lot to keep up with the demands of school. The workload, the pace – it’s been overwhelming. but that’s not the only thing weighing on me.

I’ve been dealing with bullying from some members of the basketball team. They’ve made school life a living nightmare. It’s been rough, and it hurts to know that these guys, who should be teammates, are making things so hard.

what’s even harder to bear is that my own brother, whom I’ve always looked up to, hasn’t stepped in to defend me. I see him as this pillar of strength, my idol, but it’s getting tougher to be around him. Sometimes, he comes back home with visible injuries…but I just can’t bring myself to confront him or my parents about it.

I feel like I’m carrying this weight alone, hiding it all behind a facade. I don’t want to worry my parents or create conflict in the family. But it’s getting harder to keep it all inside. It feels like I’m trapped in this cycle of hurt, and I don’t know how to break free.
