I entered the second semester and I'm crashing so hard right night. Up to this moment of my life I have been a straight A student and in every gifted program possible. My GPA is a 4.3 and I'm ranked the top 20 of my grade. Some reason this semester I've been struggling so much but I can't drop any of my classes because my program forces us to take all honors class regardless of the reasons you give them. So now I'm drowning in all my classes and none of the counselors or program leaders are willing to help me at all. I don't feel as smart as I used to. I feel like I'm average... I don't mean that maliciously but my entire life I was faced with disappointment whenever my grades slip up. I know if people look at my grades from an outside perspective my grades will look okay but it makes me want to die. I got threatened to be kicked out of my program if i get any B as my final grade. I hate this life that I made for myself. I don't feel smart anymore. I feel like an idiot compared to everyone. I want help but guess what! My program looks down on getting tutored! My older sister is in the program with me and she calls all standard kids idiots and I guess i don't want her to see me that way. But I never struggled so hard in my life.

Your mental health, grades and stress levels would probably improve if you ditched all that gifted nonsense and pressure.
With respect, your sister is wrong. No one is ‘standard’ or an idiot, they’re all individual human beings fighting their own battles and finding their own ways in life. Looking down on others says much more about the person than those they are judging.
Being academically smart doesn’t make someone nice or a good person which is far more important
