As you've probably noticed, I am not great at speaking. Whether that is speaking up in class or talking over a video call. Because of this, I felt like it would be much easier if I wrote it down instead.
I know I should focus on school right now. I know I should do my homework and all the assignments I'm not turning in. I wish I could say I was doing my best, but to be honest I'm not. I've been really struggling to do anything lately. It's hard to focus on doing the important things when you can only think about the things you're doing wrong. I want to be a better student, but I don't know how to get from here to there and I often can't even see where there is. I hate almost everything about myself, from my gender to my work ethics. I really do want to graduate from high school, but I often struggle to see why it even matters.
I think I'm depressed. I don't know, I don't want to self-diagnose, but I struggle to even get out of bed most days. A lot of the time, I can't even think about doing my school work without shutting down. I'm struggling a lot with my mental health and I don't know how to ask for help. I don't feel like I can talk to my parents about this, because I don't want them to think they failed me in any way. My parents aren't bad parents, but I barely talk to them about how my day went, let alone about serious things like my mental state. I can't put this on my friends either. They all struggle with their own mental health and I might make it worse for them by asking them for help.
I know I need help, or else I might not even make it to my final exams. I'm sorry for putting this burden on you, but I don't know anyone else I can talk to about this and I know you look out for other students who are in (kind of) similar situations. Truth is, you're my only likeable teacher and you already know I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be doing right now. I guess I was just wondering if you could point me in any kind of direction or tell me what to do, because I have no idea how to fix myself and I feel like I'm drowning. I know I'm just a random student you don't really know that much about, but I'm asking for your help because I can't think of anyone else. Do you have any tips for me, or advice?
It's okay if you decide not to do anything, by the way. I realise what I'm asking / trying to explain is unusual and difficult and I don't really talk to you all that much. I've been like this for a while and I bet I can survive a bit longer. Sorry for the inconvenience.

ReplyI hope the past year has got better for you. If you still feel this way, honestly I would advise sending some version of this letter to the teacher you wrote it to. It can be much easier to talk openly to a teacher than a parent sometimes, and personally I have a couple of teachers whom I would tell anything to. It helps so much to have someone beside you and knowing what's going on. They went into the profession because they care. Let them help you
