“Grown-ups like numbers. When you tell them about a new friend, they never ask questions about what really matters. They never ask: ‘What does his voice sound like?’ ‘What games does he like best?’ ‘Does he collect butterflies?’ They ask: ‘How old is he?’ ‘How many brothers does he have?’ ‘How much does he weigh?’ ‘How much money does he have?’ Only then do they think they know him. If you tell grown-ups, ‘I saw a beautiful red brick house, with geraniums at the windows and doves at the roof…,’ they won’t be able to imagine such a house. You have to tell them, ‘I saw a house worth a thousand francs.’ Then they exclaim, ‘What a pretty house!”
some one i get ur point but numbers to us are a scale. if you were to say “she has a really nice house”, that could be 1,000 square feet or 10,000. it’s just crazy she gained so much success in 2 years, that’s all. my comment isn’t sad, it’s a factual statement. it’s great to see someone at 19 accomplish so much after leaving school.
It's just life itself and the stuff we are forced to do just to exist. Finding and keeping a job or going to school with social anxiety, depression, or any mental illness sucks.
That is school for me but its not like I can stop going there. I need education to get a job and live a life. Its not always to get rid of it, its finding a way to deal with it. Not everyone can stop going to school and make youtube videos and make money that way.
Tiziana Longo this is honestly so true it’s genuinely getting worse... it’s just like you have no logical explanation of why you don’t wanna go to school but that’s the thing older people will never really understand. And I relate by wanting escape or using like your phone or video games to escape reality. I have very bad attendance in school I just hate the environment and I always had escapism issues.. I mean I get good and ok grades like a get A’s, B’s, and C’s. I had to go to my school counselor... and last year I got home schooled and I fell out with so many people and was so alone. Idk why school makes us feel this way it just seems like it gets worse.. Emmas story genuinely is relatable and these girls at my school always ask why I don’t come to school but I just said I really just don’t care I hate my reading teacher she is always nagging at me and setting expectations and I’ll hear her talking about me and my attendance.
actually this is my dream i wish i can do TH-cam but like i don't have any material nor supportive friends and i cry sometimes at school because of no fucking reason
Same!! I dropped out of school 2 times already because of my missing days. But I’m gonna try it one more time in September. It’s so sad that so many teenagers feel like that damn
This girl now has 9.17MIL subs and models for Louis Vuitton, has a podcast and coffee brand, when I tell u I’m so proud of her, I am so proud of her [edit] SHE HIT 10 MILL!!!!
people truly dont understand how stressful high school really is especially if you care about your grades, as a senior i cannot fucking wait to get out of this shithole
The fact that so many people relate to this video shows that the school system is extremely flawed and something needs to change. Our parents, educators, and government don’t see out cries for help and they think we are dramatic or lazy. This NEEDS to change.
The real problem is that far too many people aspire to be in glamorous professions or simply ‘to be rich’ without having any idea as to how they’ll get there. The education system certainly isn’t perfect, but the vast majority don’t make the most of it. Modern values with regards to work are kind of flawed.
Ben C No, the problem with the educational system isn't just that people want glamourous jobs that pay a lot, is that ignores the fact that people learn differently, ignores aptitudes and fill your day with learning things that are useless in life but are there for you to memorize to pass a test, then forget that ever existed till the next time. Is hard to make the most of an educational experience when you don't know why you are experiencing it in the first place.
it's honestly so upsetting that *so* many people can relate to this, it's really telling about not just the U.S school system, but the school system in general
well it might not always necessarily be the school itself, or the school system. She said in the beginning of the video herself that she didn't think the school was bad, or that anything about it was bad or that it was the fault of the school.
its kind of the same all around the world i think (i live in belgium) but then i tell myself that there is so many people that don't even have the chance to go too school but the school system definitely has to change
MagIsLame the uk school system is ridiculous. You can’t drop out bc it’s illegal, and we have to take exams at the end of the 4th year called GCSE’s. I have to do, maths, English, physics, chemistry, biology, religious education, a language, and two other subjects. All the subjects have multiple papers and in order to get a good selection of subjects for sixth form to do your a levels, you have to do well in all of them - mainly maths and English and sciences. I hate it so so much and most of it is super irrelevant and will never be used again
Yeah my parents got murdered 2 years ago, I’ve never had friends or a gf and I can’t hold down a minimum wage job so I’ve been super depressed and now I’m thinking about killing myself
the fact that she just went to the met gala, has a coffee / matcha company and has 10 million subscribers. she is my comfort person and many others. i literally wanna cry i am so proud of u emma
Only in stuff like advanced placement classes which should because it is for college credit and I’m regular classes work in class can be whatever because that’s time you have to be working. A lot of homework can be annoying but it is 90% possible for most students to be done with work by like 6 or 5:30. So get better work habits pal you will need it for the future.
Yes very true and unnecessary amounts of work about subjects you only need to graduate, but won’t really prepare you for life. Just college and not everyone is going to college
Ru Deashell ok, that’s all possible but if you have sports, extracurricular, a job or have to take care of siblings that combined can be a really f*cking lot
little did she know, she is going to fashion shows with lv, she is a Calvin Cline model for god sake, she has 8+ million subs. and she is helping me trough school.
Elena Heine Used to like school but now I just generally hate 50% of my classes and teachers.I love my friends and history,math and english but anything outside of that gives me migraines.
Elena Heine GURL SAME??? I just made a video about why I’m not going to college anymore and it was honestly very hard to go against societal standards. Props to Emma for being so so brave at such a young age 🙌🏽
Even though I already have my degree, this really opened my eyes and showed me that the pressure we put on high schoolers can get to them. I'll remember this when I talk to my younger family members and potential children.
MrFindX um yea it's bad. The most important thing is for kids to not get too ahead of themselves. They should work at the pace they are comfortable with. Make sure to give them a supportive environment.
MrFindX try being in the UK. all you guys have to do is maintain good grades, we have to take 20+ exams and make sure we get a C or above on every damn one of them to graduate.
@@erin9846 in brazil u are basicaly forced to stay in school no matter how fuck up ur life is...i cant even do online school bc its also not alowed i hate it here
Hannah Campos same... my mom is like school isn’t that bad you’ll miss it when you’ll grow up and i always tell her “SCHOOL RUINED MY CHILDHOOD” but my mom still doesn’t believes me
well make a million dollars and maybe your parents would be 'supportive' too. you think they would have let her leave if youtube wasnt making her money? and also - education keeps you from being an ignorant a-hole...soo parents should value it. everyone should.
my parents dont want me to quit school. I wanna get homeschooled and do my education online. i want to be happier and healthier because school literally mentally kills me.
dude seriously. but my mom would never allow me to be online/ home schooled. And I'll have super bad FOMO on like prom, hoco, and walking across the stage. uGH
Please pull your parents aside and make sure they know that! Please do! Because I’m homeschooled and its’s helped me so fucking much. Once you become homeschooled, you can take school at your own pace, and focus on yourself, and you can do all your work in less than 3 days (most of the time, unless there’s a certain schedule for online schooling) anyways, homeschooling also *does not* keep you from being social. Homeschoolers are not fucking nerdy introverts who can’t talk to people or make friends, trust me. There are co-ops and class academies that you can go to. For instance, I go to a place called the Commune Homeschooling Centre and classes there are amazing, I only take literature and physical science there. I do the rest of my work at home. and a lot of my friends go there for classes too. Sorry this was a long ass reply, but there are tons of pros for becoming homeschooled. And there’s dance committee too, and other committees that plan all the events and shit. We have hoco and prom as homeschoolers, and seasonal dances too. Homeschooling is more social than most people think (that is, if you find the right organization for classes)
That has literally never happened and probably hasn't to you. Worse that ever happens is it goes silent and everyone is weird. Sure I dont know you but also 90% of actual living human beings dislike those people that laugh too.
That's exactly how I feel right now. I don't want to go to school anymore, and it's suffocating me. It makes me want to cry and wake up early feeling like shit. That's awesome to hear someone else's story.
@@GoldennMoments she doesn’t actually. i couldn’t tell you which episode, but in one of her podcasts she talks about how she was on the lower income side compared to her classmates. her parents were far from rich, her dads literally an artist. she’s extremely rich now, but she didn’t come from big money
Abby Oof what I’m tryna get is that we are all depressed of school, and want to leave but that’s not option for many of us. She just had the fortune to still be successful with out school
I’m 33, so not your average audience I’m sure but I’m a single mama of 2 boys. My oldest is 12 and in 6th grade he really started struggling, switching classes for the first time was just too much for him. He has ADHD and I went to countless meetings and assessments to try and get him the time he needed from his teachers. No matter how much I fought they just couldn’t do it. So about 3 months into 7th grade I decided to homeschool him. I work full time so I struggle sometimes but seeing my son depressed at such a young age scared me and I wanted to get it under control before it got too bad. He’s happy now and that’s what is important, his emotional/mental well-being is more important to me then what society thinks is “normal”. He’s going into 8th grade, he’ll have enough struggles and school just shouldn’t be one of them!
You’re really a great mom! I work with ADHD kids and they’re wonderful and amazing and I got upset when parents told me that school makes our child more annoying than happy ☹️
I have ADHD myself and no mine is probably not as major as your sons but I am going into 8th grade and watching her helps me because she makes me laugh so hard
deciding to go to school online was the BEST decision I have ever made for myself and my mental health. proud of you for making your health a priority!
school is emotionally draining for me. its just so much socially and mentally. i really could never do online school because i would get no work done lol but school is really boring anyways. bro i sit down for like 45 min listening to shit I couldn’t care less about
Yeah same I keep telling my parents I need to get help bc everyday I feel like dying but they say " you're only thirteen you're still finding yourself" and idk what to do anymore im not finding happiness I want to drop out and study cosmetology so I can become a makeup artist like for weddings and proms but since im only thirteen I can't and like why tf do I need to find the square root of jdgfhffhhfj
C&P Stikbot sameeee im thirteen and i wanna be a cosmetologist but my parents are totally against it. honestly i think i could handle college but i know I’ll struggle a lot
Lmao drop out then. You need knowledge to survive in this world literally it doesn’t matter if it’s fun or not. Don’t let sensitive emotions get in the way of success I do agree that we learn about things we don’t need to but it’s what needs to happen for us to make that money
If you are her age and reading this please don't use her as your escape from high school prison. She was LUCKY plain and simple. Her personality is charming and she is a nice girl but at the end of the day it is all down to LUCK. Stay in school kids. I was depressed like her, counted down the days and am still recovering but I sure as hell am glad I stuck through it and finished high school (and uni undergrad).
Thank youuu! The comments on this video kind of scare me and have me worried. This one kind of calmed me a little. I hope more people see this comment 🙏🏻🙏🏻
idk your parents but if this had happen to you i don’t think they would have let you stay depressed and still go to school because no parents like to see there kids in that way. I’m pretty sure they would have found a solution.
This makes me so glad I'm done with school. High school was horrible for me, I hated my judgmental ass classmates, I got no education what so ever. I literally used to lock my self in my room so my parents wouldn't drag me. But now am done with it and I hate college LOL sorry if u thought this would have a happy ending.
Calum Fucking Hood You don't need college. Of course if you don't have something to do without college then I'd recommend going since it's the easiest way to get an ok job.
Haley Perez I’m 21 and I’ve been dealing with anxiety most of my life. It’s very hard but eventually you’ll manage it! Just push yourself to do stuff that you wanna do! Like with me I love concerts but there has been multiple times where I would have a panic attack at one and I’ll leave early. Your anxiety stops you from doing things in life. So this last time I went to a concert I was having a panic attack and I made myself stay and push myself through it. The more you run away from it the worse it gets and you’ll end up getting mad at yourself for missing out on things in life and letting it control you. So something that took me a long time to learn was to just feeeeel the anxiety let yourself feel it and it will go away. However you feel isn’t going to last forever. Life is about experiencing things and are you really living if you aren’t doing anything? You can over come it I promise you.
MadDog 210 I agree! You never really get over it! Most people don’t realize is that Everyone experiences anxiety or depression and some point in their life. Some more then others! It’s completely normal. It’s all about how you cope with it, with me personally I hit my peak of anxiety when something is off in my life. Like my job, or a big life change like having my daughter or just stress of daily life in general. When I was in my emotionally abusive relationship w/ my ex my anxiety was at a all time high. I would have panic attacks every day and I wanted to leave the house but I couldn’t. I couldn’t drive or talk I would break down. After I left him I became someone stronger and better. If you have anxiety and depression it’s because you need to change something in your life that’s causing you to be on edge or feel down about yourself. If you don’t know what it is sit down by yourself and think about it. You are the only person that can make yourself better... nobody else can. Medication and therapy is just there for a band-aid til you learn how to cope in other words “figure out yourself”. Hope everyone finds out who they are and how amazing life is... anxiety and depression just washes all the beauty out of life.
I didn't leave the house much 13-17. I quit school in 7th grade. I'm 31 now and still have very significant anxiety but it changed over time. I don't care much about going out or my looks like I did when I was younger. But my anxiety evolved over time, definitely didn't go away, but I work and do whatever. It's taken a big toll on my body over time to be stressed every day.
I have anxiety too and it’s the worse when I go to school or have a presentation or something or when I have to memorize a paragraph and then say it out loud in front of my classmates without looking at paper here is where I get stressed and anxious and forget everything like I hate my anxiety I just cant get over it
my mom would never let me quit until i went to the doctor and they told me it’s best to not return to school for my mental health. the doctor is the best bet to help if you want to quit/ do all online
I want to quit school and practice on baking and having a cafe with lots of baked goods but i can't. Because school is pulling my neck i am literally crying and crying because of zoom classes missed quizes and so much.
@@louisratatoulielinson same here! I have 100 of panics attacks a day! Just bcz of school who take exams after fkn every month of two classes syllabus combined
@@a1guerra3 i cant drop out of school, i am too young to do so. Where i am from you have to attend to school till your 18 and if you dont do so your breaking the law and your parents could loose the custody of their child.
Anna Mesa Well I'm Egyptian, and I'm telling u that the WORST educational system EVER is the Egyptian one, mentally, physically everything, u don't know what it's like to sit down in a fucking class with 45 humans, sitting in the middle of two girls on the same desk, all the teachers are literally just yelling all the time, doing home works for 3 hours straight, And worst of all that all of that shit doesn't work, yes It doesn't, and every student all over Egypt takes those paid extra classes after school, in all the fucking subjects, and the same teachers yelling at ur face, sitting between 3 or 2 girls, same shit, and home works omg, they're TOO MUCH!!!! I must do the school's H.W and the classes once, and many other shitty stuff I didn't mention. SAVE ME!!!!
I just found ur channel and i relate to this so much i can't even describe. school has been so hard for me the past few years; i've always worked my ass off to get good grades cause i genuinely feel like it determines my future and the rest of my life. but this year (my junior year) i have been feeling so burned out and more depressed than i ever have in my life. school itself for 7 hours a day just destroys me and im left with like zero energy at the end of the day, which makes me even more depressed and irritable and thinking about it gives me anxiety. and then i have to deal with hours of homework and shit that i have no motivation to do. i feel like the only time i'm genuinely happy is during school breaks when i have time to focus on myself and things that make me feel good and shit u feel. idk sorry if that was rambly and confusing i just connected with this vid so much it almost made me cry lol
if school is truly effecting your mental heath and keeping you from being happy you should look into online school, where you can love at your own pace and do it wherever and whenever you want, stay strong hope this helped💗
Alexia Schieffer I so understand how your feeling. I’m also a junior and this school year has been the toughest year for me mentally. I switched over to online school for my last quarter of junior year (about a month ago) and I am truly in a better mental state. Something about this year made me super depressed and way more stressed about school. Now I understand why people say junior year is the hardest year of high school. I hope that you find peace like I did. Online school is definitely something that can help since you don’t like public school.
Personally I love school , I love interacting with friends and fellow classmates , I like presenting my hard work , I like studying and then getting a high mark in return it’s literally so satisfying.... *but one thing I don’t like * is that most schools force students to stand infront of people and are not a good place mentally , you’re making them expose their vulnerability and gives them anxiety. I always feel so bad because i dont know how it feels and you can tell when someone is truly uncomfortable and it’s just a sad thing to experience second hand so I can only imagine being in their shoes*
Sélen Treminio wow I really agree with this , I have panic attack in class and on the first day my heart was racing and I knew in at least one class they would make me stand up and talk about myself ( it happened in every class ) and I really wanted to run out of every class . In 7th grade I almost did online school and me and my mom went to the school counselor but she said “ you will miss out on your middle school experience “ so I had to stay . This year it is way worse and I really don’t wanna become depressed like 7th grade . 8th grade is terrible and my dad won’t let me be online schooled because he thinks it it stupid but he just doesn’t understand. He wants me to be “ normal “ and wants me to be in sports but I have severe anxiety and can’t do sports . I hate the boys in my school they’re sick especially the football boys . I was in volleyball but got out cause I have social anxiety and I couldn’t deal with it . Parents just never understand. :( I’ve been talking to my mom but I don’t know what she’ll say .
I hated presentations I was always shaking and had so much anxiety and it always sounded like I was crying when I talked so it was even worse and I wouldn’t breathe because I was trying to get it over with and it was so awkward.
I literally hate school. Not in the way that some people say like “ahh I hate school, it sucks”. No. I really hate it. I like my friends and the people I see there but everything is just to much for me and my mental place. It gives me extreme anxiety and makes me so sad and depressed all the time. Even the summer work is stressing me out so much it makes me almost sick, to the point where I either throw up or feel like I’m going to die. I am starting high school and I literally want to die. I don’t want to go, and everything else going on in my life doesn’t help. My family is struggling with money and it’s all just piling up. I go to a private school and the expectations my family has for my grades and the work is just completely overwhelming and unattainable. It makes me want to throw up and cry at the same time just typing about it right now. From school I get severe anxiety attacks all the tine just because of the stress and anxiety it gives me. The private school I go to already gives homework to the point where I have no time to do anything else when I get home, and I’m just talking about middle school, and everyone I talk to that’s older than me tells me that high school is so much harder than middle and I just don’t want to do it! I just don’t, not to mention that I’m in honors and AP classes, I literally want to die.
heyy!! I can totally relate to you. LIKE 101 PERCENT. But believe me , whatever makes you feel like that, you will definitely have a reason to feel so. Like for me it was my grades, I failed in some subjects and I couldn't make it up to confront my parents with those marks and so I started feeling like giving up everything and even became suicidal? Yeah, it WAS that worse. But all these problems are gonna just get away once you try to tackle whatever's coming your way, be it studies or some people or anything else. DO NOT give more concern to things that stresses you out of the limit, think about all these people around the world dealing with it and still surviving through them. Treat yourself more and make efforts to get over all those insecurities. Just think it that way as if its no big deal ...for real. I'm p sure you're gonna be fine with everything soon ^^ Have a good week
heyy! so i had this exact situation happen to me! i hated school sm like i couldn’t stand it, i had mental breakdowns in class and severe anxiety attack every day. my friends wanted to help me but they didn’t know how and i don’t blame em since i was so fragile. i begged and begged to drop out but they wouldn’t let me. but let me tell you that i swear it gets better. i started going to therapy and taking meds. it took a while but slowly i was finally able to get thru the school day. as for work what helped me was to tell my parents what i feel, they’ll know ur not in a good state and will care more about ur health than ur grades. all i can say is don’t over work urself. maybe don’t take AP classes and make the beginning of the year easy. from a scared girl that couldn’t go to school and only went 2 times a week,(i would also leave early cause of my anxiety attacks), to a very social girl who has fun with teachers. i don’t get the straight A’s but i’m much more happier !
Lauren Rice I relate to this so much. I’ve had real bad anxiety when it comes to school for the past 3 years and each year I’ve moved schools (with friends, I couldn’t do it alone) in hopes that things will be better. This year was my last year of school, yet I didn’t make it. It was all too much for me and didn’t the school standards, so was asked to leave. It’s been about a month or two and I’ve been recovering and accepting the fact that it’s okay that I didn’t graduate. Something that’s always been expected from my family, but I’ve failed. Overall I’m so glad I’m out, because the feeling of anxiety and crying every meeting with teachers was horrible and embarrassing
youtube excellence I just made a video about why I’m not going to college anymore and it was honestly very hard to go against societal standards. Props to Emma for being so so brave at such a young age 🙌🏽
Oh i love kind of people like you, open minded and all i'm glad you can do whatever you want not all ppl can do what they love but you actually took the chance to do so i'm proud of you
this actually made me feel better because before quarantine i’d literally sit in the car in the school parking lot and cry i still don’t know why i couldn’t go in
You have so much confidence to come on here and tell us this. I truly admire that. We completely understand that you feel this way! Highschool's a complete shitshow, dude. I can't wait to get my ass out of here!
I’m definitely going through the same thing the only difference is im in my senior year. all of this started way back at the beginning of sophomore year. i still can’t believe it took me this long to finally make a choice. so because i waited literally two years, my anxiety and depression was at its max that it physically started making me sick. thank god for my understanding mother and counselor, we decided for me to finish my senior year online. im really grateful and don’t regret taking online school. many of my friends would tell me that i would miss out on a lot, socially, since it’s my senior year but honestly i care about my health and happiness more than missing out on my senior prom. so to anyone going through this, please make a choice and put yourself first. if public school isn’t doing you any good, mentally and/or physically, please choose an environment that’ll make you feel better and happier. 💕
min yoongi omg this is soooo crazy I’ve been going through the same thing too only of course I haven’t talked to anyone because I’m so afraid to but I know what I need to do but this video is sooo helpful and your comment is so helpful because it helps me realize that I’m not the only one going through this
"It doesn't matter that you're depressed and you're actually living in hell, like its fine because this is what you're supposed to be doing." ~~ I legit started crying because so many people think like this and its actually killing me.
I’m going through a really similar thing, I’m a freshman in high school and I’m miserable, I can’t even think about school without crying, and my entire school day just consists of me sitting there trying not to cry... this made me feel a lot better to know that it’s not completely unrealistic to not be in school, thank you for making this video
but if she felt like she was empty and had no energy all the time, it is very possible that it was depression and probable that it was just that stressful, drama-filled environment. also I don't think she was saying she was necessarily depressed and feeling exactly the same way, but she related to the feeling of not feeling 100% in school if that makes sense.
Brenna Coffman im sick for 2 months, and after i recovered i don't feel like i want to go to school anymore,, im so scared and sad all the time, i don't even go to school today
binaqq honestly I am going through a similar state where I just am so ready for summer. I'm going to high school (a different school) next year and I'm just so ready to start new. I guess all the advice I have for you is to take it one day at a time, but for now I'm just looking forward to summer.
I haven’t been to school in 2 weeks. I just can’t go there...every time I think about going to school I feel like I’m gonna cry. it’s not because I get bullied or anything... it’s just too much for me. Everyone is asking me for the reason and stuff! I don’t know the reason!...there most be a reason, but I just don’t know it. I really don’t care anymore...
It will get better I promise. School is going by slow now but when you become an adult/once you graduate you will barely even remember school and you'll realize it went by way faster than you thought at the time.
finally someone i can relate to about how my sophomore year is my most stressful fucking year ever..it literally made me quit youtube for a long ass time and it’s such a waste
I've just missed the first two days of school since the christmas break because my anxiety is getting the best of me and I am so scared to go to school because people always bombard me with words like "Oh, where were you?" "Were you skiving?" "Nice of you to show up" and my guidance leader always says "omg are you okay? You've missed school!" Like yeah, I have and my mom's explained my problem so leave me alone. I just hate school in general and I wanna drop out and do home schooling or online but my friends say "oh, don't leave me alone" but half the time I'm not even at school. I dont know what to do :(...
the situation what emma was going through with school is exactly me rn. i would sit in the car crying begging not to go and yet i always do. school is SUPER hard for me, and i would find myself begging for the weekend to come and then when they came i feet like i didnt spend it well. and how i shouldve been more proactive, got up earlier, spend time with family and friends. etc. whereas the reality is me lying in bed at 11am and then go on my phone and not being proactive what so ever and its as if im dissapointed in myself. dissapointed that i cant stay emotionally stable at school or at home bc its as if i waste so much time. to anyone reading this and experiencing it *you are not alone ily keep going*
Honestly, the education system is fucked and no adult understands how horrible it can be We love you Emma, and do whatever makes you happy, always here for you💗💗💗
Nope, you do your classes at whatever time you want and you only have a few of them. You wouldn't have like 7 classes in online school. Hope that helps :)
@@anonymous-wk7wr The online school I do, I only have 4 classes. However with ANY online school, you won't have as many as public school, and you can do your classes whenever you want/need to, it helps to set a schedule. It has helped me a lot i recommend it 100%.
What's so sad is that I'm watching this right now in the UK and I feel like I'm in exactly the same situation Emma was in. However i feel like in America they are soooo much more lenient when it comes to school and attendce. I mean like if I ever miss more than 2 days of school 4 other reasons than sickness, great action is taken and dropping out of school is not an option. I feel so stuck idk what 2 dooo
Dude just keep going, eveyone go trough something, life it's not easy everytime, just to let you know everything that happen to you just take it as knowledge and experience, I know that the idea of being at home sounds cool but at the end of the day if you don't do anything with your life and just be at home doing nothing you will get depressed and there's no need to get to that point
Relatable, im in year 11 right now and the school is like if your attendance rate is lower than 97% they LITERALLY sat you and your parents down a traumatised you into going into school😭
My depression got so bad last half term that i missed 3 days of school in a row. The teachers sent letters to my home and were very unhappy when i got back to school. The UK school system is absolute shite. I know i have my GCSE this year but giving me 5 hours of hw each night +Revision is only going to make me have a mental breakdown.
I feel like many students are depressed but aren’t able to talk to anyone cause they feel like nobody understands them Edit: how did this happen what the heck🤭🤩
I love and respect how she didn’t blame the school or people from there and also that she understood what she did about vlogging at school and took a fault for her. It’s very mature
oh yeah yeah that’s actually fucked up bro, not gonna lie. i feel the same way and my parents still continue to hit me and cuss at me non stop. so many people go through depression, that’s just fucked up, period
Honestly walking into school makes me so unhappy , bc I’ll just be sitting there and I’ll start tearing up and getting so sad that I’m at school like honestly it hurts to be in school
This is my everyday life, glad i am not alone. Plus every-time my mom says “u dont seem happy to me! Is everything ok?” And i hate myself for tearing up every single time like i hate school there is nothing i can do to explain them how much it hurts
When I was 16 I had been diagnosed with severe social anxiety. It came to the point of me dropping out of public school to then finish the rest of my high school years enrolled in an online school. It was fantastic and allowed me to become independent and really “fix” myself. I am now 20, in college, and am about to finish my associates degree and move onto a bachelors. Sure anxiety is still a part of my life, but it no longer controls me. The social norm of public school is not for everyone. We need to be aware of other forms of education and be more accepting of them.
Bre Louise I had the same fuckin situation. Dropping out of school and starting online school was so helpful. Calming myself down and settleing helped me so much to get my anxiety under my control.
3 days ago I changed schools, and I also have really bad social anxiety, I spend like all my breaks on the bathroom, but in my other school I had some friends and yeah but now I feel so lost and uhhh I'm that creepy kid on the class, and I don't know what to do
Deez Nutz , I was able to manage my anxiety enough to be able to go to a (public, actual campus) college. There are times where I have to go for a walk to calm down from anxiety, but like I said, it's manageable. It's all about figuring out what works for you, setting goals, etc. Plus, I realized life was too short to be anxious over every little thing. So I'm trying to get out of my box
wow.. i told my mom i couldnt go to school anymore bc of bullying, and i got yelled at. you're lucky they let you drop out without having a family drama.. plus my mom kept me in school bc she "wanted to see me graduate" such a waste.
are you still currently in school? maybe you can take extra classes so you can graduate a year or a semester early. a lot of the seniors did that and I wish i could've taken the advantage because i basically had all of the credits i needed to graduate before i became a senior.
i remember watching this at the beginning of 2019 when i wanted to leave school because it was the worst school and this video give me the courage to move schools and choose the right decision and now i'm a lot happier. thank u emma
I'm 14 at this current moment in time. And I know I may be too young to consider *not* going to school, etc. But the 'norm' here, is that you finish high school, finish college, get a job, get married, have kids, and stay in this one insignificant place for the rest of your life. And I don't want to do that, the thought of that scares me. There's so many places I want to go and see, and people that I want to meet, and I'm just scared of actually pursuing that, or taking the next step. School is not the place for me, I think it's not a place for a lot of people. The environment in most schools is stressful and unwelcoming, in my case anyways. I know for a lot of individuals it's mostly just the state of mind, and I understand that too. I solely believe that if I dropped out of school at 16-17 I'd be completely fine, because my skill set is decent enough to actually be on my own and function normally. I have no idea what I want to do in my life, and it's just been programmed into my mind that I can't do anything with myself if I don't go to college and actually make money, whatever. And I know that's not true, obviously. I'm just so damn afraid, lol. Like what am I supposed to do with myself when I'm not comfortable with what I'm doing? I don't want to sit around and just deal with having to do this stuff, I want to travel. God, I want to fucking travel, lmao. I want to just explore, and understand the world from going through it with open eyes. Another issue is money, obviously, which scares me the most. I just hope I'm able to figure out what I want to do before it's too late for me to escape. Ok if you made it to the end of this props to you, you're pretty cool. xx This is an edit, and I don't want to be that person that edits their comments months later, but I keep coming back to this whenever I feel kinda down about it. Because all of you have no idea how much it means to me that someone, anyone, took the time to read this and try to understand how I feel, then show overwhelming support and advice. I know it may seem dumb and sappy, but I'm definitely in a better place because of these replies and kind words. I tried to reply to everyone saying thank you? But I think that's just kinda repetitive, so this was the next best step. But again, thank you thank you thank you, it turns out strangers have given me more stable advice than the people around me ever had. And if anyone, it could be you, (hi there) decides to reply to this in the future, know your words mean more than you know. I also realized that some of you have started to share your own stories and struggles, and I'm not a therapist, but I hope every single one of you find what you're looking for, because you deserve it. Stay safe lovelies
Hey I’m 19 and 13-14 is the stage of life where u are not sure if u are a kid/teen or adult like the most awkward stage/phrase of life but don’t worry about life just do your thing and go with the flow of life no one in this world is perfect so go and make your own mistakes and through those mistakes u make u can learn from them u will eventually figure out don’t stress about life take it easy
As a 26 year old hearing kids wanting to drop out of high school shocks me. You need to graduate high school. That is a requirement these days, and it’s becoming a requirement to graduate college in this economy. Please don’t drop out. You have years to travel and live your life. Get your education.
Joey Down in my country where I grew up those who drops out of high school is rebels and lazy not as nice and sweet as Emma but all of them are like very rebellious
you're so smart, as a substitute teacher I see the newer generation, primarily people born after 2000, have different attention spans and the school curriculum does not work for them at all, the subjects they teach and the way they teach it is horrible and the kids dont benefit beause they think the same way as you do but unfortunately they do it because like you said it is what we are supposed to do. I graduated hs in 2014 and I did not like school, after 5th grade I hated every minute of school, middle school was awful and at 15 during my sophomore year I wanted to drop out but I just pushed through and I'm glad it's over tbh, I'm in college now and I never even wanted to go but it's hard to not fall into the school system that we are programmed to follow.
can relate, but so freaking jealous of her having that opportunity to drop out and with having her parents being okay with it. most of us don't, and we just have to live through it anyway.
It gets better schools only a small part of life when ur don’t college is on your terms( teachers , schedule, online or on campus school, trade school) it’s waaaay better
I dropped out of high school last year. I have been depressed and had crippling anxiety for 3 years and I have had enough I need to be in control of my mental health and ultimately my life. I’m so happy I found you and your channel and I’m so happy you chose your brain over the system a lot of people are ignorant to alternative life paths because they are scared of anything that involves any sort of risk but because I’m living life the way I want to I’m actually excited about my future instead of dreading it. I hope you are to booboo. Remember degrees don’t define you✌️💕
Infires Man Hi I just started K12 academy this year and I love it. There are so many benefits to Online School. I prefer Online over Traditional or Homeschooling just because I can be in control of my schedule and learn at my own pace. Also your teachers are their for you 24/7 you can email or call them any time you need them! If you have any questions I'd love to help!
Omg I have social anxiety and depression and I asked my mum if I could get homeschooled and she said she'd see if it's possible but I'm going back to school this monday and I'm terrified I just need someone to kind of tell me what I should do because when I'm at school I'm always depressed , anxious and scared and shy and it feels horrid and as soon as I go outside and walk past people I literally can't breathe my hands go clammy and I feel dizzy and I struggle to concentrate on my work and I just need someone to tell me what I should do and when I get home I cry myself to sleep and I have a school counsellor but it's crap 😔😔

2 years later she buys a 4 million dollar house. *so proud*
your comment is so sad
some one how so?
“Grown-ups like numbers. When you tell them about a new friend, they never ask questions about what really matters. They never ask: ‘What does his voice sound like?’ ‘What games does he like best?’ ‘Does he collect butterflies?’ They ask: ‘How old is he?’ ‘How many brothers does he have?’ ‘How much does he weigh?’ ‘How much money does he have?’ Only then do they think they know him. If you tell grown-ups, ‘I saw a beautiful red brick house, with geraniums at the windows and doves at the roof…,’ they won’t be able to imagine such a house. You have to tell them, ‘I saw a house worth a thousand francs.’ Then they exclaim, ‘What a pretty house!”
some one i get ur point but numbers to us are a scale. if you were to say “she has a really nice house”, that could be 1,000 square feet or 10,000. it’s just crazy she gained so much success in 2 years, that’s all. my comment isn’t sad, it’s a factual statement. it’s great to see someone at 19 accomplish so much after leaving school.

Being able to pinpoint why you're not enjoying life and successfully getting rid of that negativity is something that everyone deserves
Kaiya Jones yeah well my whole life has been unenjoyable then
It's just life itself and the stuff we are forced to do just to exist. Finding and keeping a job or going to school with social anxiety, depression, or any mental illness sucks.
Yesss and its a rare and beautiful thing that emma was able to do that at her age. Shows wisdom beyond her years
That is school for me but its not like I can stop going there. I need education to get a job and live a life. Its not always to get rid of it, its finding a way to deal with it. Not everyone can stop going to school and make youtube videos and make money that way.
Kaiya Jones i
The fact that everyone can relate is actually sad.
Tiziana Longo this is honestly so true it’s genuinely getting worse... it’s just like you have no logical explanation of why you don’t wanna go to school but that’s the thing older people will never really understand. And I relate by wanting escape or using like your phone or video games to escape reality. I have very bad attendance in school I just hate the environment and I always had escapism issues.. I mean I get good and ok grades like a get A’s, B’s, and C’s. I had to go to my school counselor... and last year I got home schooled and I fell out with so many people and was so alone. Idk why school makes us feel this way it just seems like it gets worse.. Emmas story genuinely is relatable and these girls at my school always ask why I don’t come to school but I just said I really just don’t care I hate my reading teacher she is always nagging at me and setting expectations and I’ll hear her talking about me and my attendance.
I know if u knew my friends they would probably moan about how sad I am at school it’s a problem
actually this is my dream i wish i can do TH-cam but like i don't have any material nor supportive friends and i cry sometimes at school because of no fucking reason
yesss school can burn us out and i feel like it’s so hard to explain to teachers when you feel burned out
Lola Jane theyre not ur friends

The fact that so many people relate to this video shows that the school system is extremely flawed and something needs to change. Our parents, educators, and government don’t see out cries for help and they think we are dramatic or lazy. This NEEDS to change.
The real problem is that far too many people aspire to be in glamorous professions or simply ‘to be rich’ without having any idea as to how they’ll get there.
The education system certainly isn’t perfect, but the vast majority don’t make the most of it. Modern values with regards to work are kind of flawed.
And I also want to say that it's not only about United states, I am not amercan and i have the same feelings
Mike Canion Me too
Ben C No, the problem with the educational system isn't just that people want glamourous jobs that pay a lot, is that ignores the fact that people learn differently, ignores aptitudes and fill your day with learning things that are useless in life but are there for you to memorize to pass a test, then forget that ever existed till the next time. Is hard to make the most of an educational experience when you don't know why you are experiencing it in the first place.
PREACH OH MY GOD
it's honestly so upsetting that *so* many people can relate to this, it's really telling about not just the U.S school system, but the school system in general
well it might not always necessarily be the school itself, or the school system. She said in the beginning of the video herself that she didn't think the school was bad, or that anything about it was bad or that it was the fault of the school.
its kind of the same all around the world i think (i live in belgium) but then i tell myself that there is so many people that don't even have the chance to go too school
but the school system definitely has to change
MagIsLame the uk school system is ridiculous.
You can’t drop out bc it’s illegal, and we have to take exams at the end of the 4th year called GCSE’s. I have to do, maths, English, physics, chemistry, biology, religious education, a language, and two other subjects.
All the subjects have multiple papers and in order to get a good selection of subjects for sixth form to do your a levels, you have to do well in all of them - mainly maths and English and sciences.
I hate it so so much and most of it is super irrelevant and will never be used again
Watch Prince EA’s video “ I SUED THE SCHOOL SYSTEM” or smth like that.. that is the BEST video about our school system
These are my thoughts on the school system. Take it how you wish: th-cam.com/video/YR5ApYxkU-U/w-d-xo.html (Pink Floyd, The Wall)
so if you never failed your drivers test you probably wouldn’t have started youtube .. crazy how everything happens for a reason

@Fred Pierce how about making videos on TH-cam to share about your story? I'm really sorry to hear about your loss.
the fact that she just went to the met gala, has a coffee / matcha company and has 10 million subscribers. she is my comfort person and many others. i literally wanna cry i am so proud of u emma
same so proud of her she doing great
Agreed ❤
school is necessary, however the school systems have so much UNeccesary amounts of work.
Yeah and that stresses students like me out
Only in stuff like advanced placement classes which should because it is for college credit and I’m regular classes work in class can be whatever because that’s time you have to be working. A lot of homework can be annoying but it is 90% possible for most students to be done with work by like 6 or 5:30. So get better work habits pal you will need it for the future.
Yes very true and unnecessary amounts of work about subjects you only need to graduate, but won’t really prepare you for life. Just college and not everyone is going to college
Ru Deashell ok, that’s all possible but if you have sports, extracurricular, a job or have to take care of siblings that combined can be a really f*cking lot
YES

Even though I already have my degree, this really opened my eyes and showed me that the pressure we put on high schoolers can get to them. I'll remember this when I talk to my younger family members and potential children.
MrFindX um yea it's bad. The most important thing is for kids to not get too ahead of themselves. They should work at the pace they are comfortable with. Make sure to give them a supportive environment.
MrFindX try being in the UK. all you guys have to do is maintain good grades, we have to take 20+ exams and make sure we get a C or above on every damn one of them to graduate.

same.
dude seriously. but my mom would never allow me to be online/ home schooled. And I'll have super bad FOMO on like prom, hoco, and walking across the stage. uGH
Izzy S. you should get home schooled I wish I was
You’re not the only one.
Please pull your parents aside and make sure they know that! Please do! Because I’m homeschooled and its’s helped me so fucking much. Once you become homeschooled, you can take school at your own pace, and focus on yourself, and you can do all your work in less than 3 days (most of the time, unless there’s a certain schedule for online schooling) anyways, homeschooling also *does not* keep you from being social. Homeschoolers are not fucking nerdy introverts who can’t talk to people or make friends, trust me. There are co-ops and class academies that you can go to. For instance, I go to a place called the Commune Homeschooling Centre and classes there are amazing, I only take literature and physical science there. I do the rest of my work at home. and a lot of my friends go there for classes too. Sorry this was a long ass reply, but there are tons of pros for becoming homeschooled. And there’s dance committee too, and other committees that plan all the events and shit. We have hoco and prom as homeschoolers, and seasonal dances too. Homeschooling is more social than most people think (that is, if you find the right organization for classes)
When you get a bad grade because you physically can’t speak in front of the class and get laughed at HAHAHAhahaha… what great system
That has literally never happened and probably hasn't to you. Worse that ever happens is it goes silent and everyone is weird. Sure I dont know you but also 90% of actual living human beings dislike those people that laugh too.

Mer believe it or not but it’s actually a lie
I’m 33, so not your average audience I’m sure but I’m a single mama of 2 boys. My oldest is 12 and in 6th grade he really started struggling, switching classes for the first time was just too much for him. He has ADHD and I went to countless meetings and assessments to try and get him the time he needed from his teachers. No matter how much I fought they just couldn’t do it. So about 3 months into 7th grade I decided to homeschool him. I work full time so I struggle sometimes but seeing my son depressed at such a young age scared me and I wanted to get it under control before it got too bad. He’s happy now and that’s what is important, his emotional/mental well-being is more important to me then what society thinks is “normal”. He’s going into 8th grade, he’ll have enough struggles and school just shouldn’t be one of them!
YOURE A GREAT MOM
Cp AkaModels awww thank you so much for saying that ❤️

And that “luck” is actually having rich and supportive parents
She didn't drop out though and says you can graduate while not going to a physical school...
If this happened to me and I asked my parents if I could leave school I would get slapped in the face...
Jay Tee YT OMG Same
idk your parents but if this had happen to you i don’t think they would have let you stay depressed and still go to school because no parents like to see there kids in that way. I’m pretty sure they would have found a solution.
Jay Tee YT me too
Me too
I SWEAR
This makes me so glad I'm done with school. High school was horrible for me, I hated my judgmental ass classmates, I got no education what so ever. I literally used to lock my self in my room so my parents wouldn't drag me. But now am done with it and I hate college LOL sorry if u thought this would have a happy ending.
MK Twins i understand but i’ve learnt u need an education to survive, stay in college FOR MY SAKE.
Calum Fucking Hood You don't need college. Of course if you don't have something to do without college then I'd recommend going since it's the easiest way to get an ok job.

I deal with anxiety 24/7. I never go anywhere.
Follow my Instagram beat_anxiety_ and you can learn tips to get over anxiety
Haley Perez I’m 21 and I’ve been dealing with anxiety most of my life. It’s very hard but eventually you’ll manage it! Just push yourself to do stuff that you wanna do! Like with me I love concerts but there has been multiple times where I would have a panic attack at one and I’ll leave early. Your anxiety stops you from doing things in life. So this last time I went to a concert I was having a panic attack and I made myself stay and push myself through it. The more you run away from it the worse it gets and you’ll end up getting mad at yourself for missing out on things in life and letting it control you. So something that took me a long time to learn was to just feeeeel the anxiety let yourself feel it and it will go away. However you feel isn’t going to last forever. Life is about experiencing things and are you really living if you aren’t doing anything? You can over come it I promise you.
MadDog 210 I agree! You never really get over it! Most people don’t realize is that Everyone experiences anxiety or depression and some point in their life. Some more then others! It’s completely normal. It’s all about how you cope with it, with me personally I hit my peak of anxiety when something is off in my life. Like my job, or a big life change like having my daughter or just stress of daily life in general. When I was in my emotionally abusive relationship w/ my ex my anxiety was at a all time high. I would have panic attacks every day and I wanted to leave the house but I couldn’t. I couldn’t drive or talk I would break down. After I left him I became someone stronger and better. If you have anxiety and depression it’s because you need to change something in your life that’s causing you to be on edge or feel down about yourself. If you don’t know what it is sit down by yourself and think about it. You are the only person that can make yourself better... nobody else can. Medication and therapy is just there for a band-aid til you learn how to cope in other words “figure out yourself”. Hope everyone finds out who they are and how amazing life is... anxiety and depression just washes all the beauty out of life.
I didn't leave the house much 13-17. I quit school in 7th grade. I'm 31 now and still have very significant anxiety but it changed over time. I don't care much about going out or my looks like I did when I was younger. But my anxiety evolved over time, definitely didn't go away, but I work and do whatever. It's taken a big toll on my body over time to be stressed every day.
I have anxiety too and it’s the worse when I go to school or have a presentation or something or when I have to memorize a paragraph and then say it out loud in front of my classmates without looking at paper here is where I get stressed and anxious and forget everything like I hate my anxiety I just cant get over it
she just explained how all of us feel when we go to school, but she actually was allowed to quit and most of us can't lol
my mom would never let me quit until i went to the doctor and they told me it’s best to not return to school for my mental health. the doctor is the best bet to help if you want to quit/ do all online
@@kourtneya290 my mom would hit me with the "I'm a doctor"
I want to quit school and practice on baking and having a cafe with lots of baked goods but i can't. Because school is pulling my neck i am literally crying and crying because of zoom classes missed quizes and so much.

I know we're very privileged to have an education but damn the American school system is straight up ass
it really is. it seems like the teachers don't want to be there and they don't have any intentions of making an effort to inspire. it's so sad.
I hate school it doesn’t challenge me at all
Anna Mesa Well I'm Egyptian, and I'm telling u that the WORST educational system EVER is the Egyptian one, mentally, physically everything, u don't know what it's like to sit down in a fucking class with 45 humans, sitting in the middle of two girls on the same desk, all the teachers are literally just yelling all the time, doing home works for 3 hours straight, And worst of all that all of that shit doesn't work, yes It doesn't, and every student all over Egypt takes those paid extra classes after school, in all the fucking subjects, and the same teachers yelling at ur face, sitting between 3 or 2 girls, same shit, and home works omg, they're TOO MUCH!!!! I must do the school's H.W and the classes once, and many other shitty stuff I didn't mention. SAVE ME!!!!
Anna Mesa Australia's worse
It's terrible
It's crazy how this girl even 2 years ago was very mature for her age
Having parents who emotionally, mentally, and physically support you does WONDERS for a child.
I just found ur channel and i relate to this so much i can't even describe. school has been so hard for me the past few years; i've always worked my ass off to get good grades cause i genuinely feel like it determines my future and the rest of my life. but this year (my junior year) i have been feeling so burned out and more depressed than i ever have in my life. school itself for 7 hours a day just destroys me and im left with like zero energy at the end of the day, which makes me even more depressed and irritable and thinking about it gives me anxiety. and then i have to deal with hours of homework and shit that i have no motivation to do. i feel like the only time i'm genuinely happy is during school breaks when i have time to focus on myself and things that make me feel good and shit u feel. idk sorry if that was rambly and confusing i just connected with this vid so much it almost made me cry lol
if school is truly effecting your mental heath and keeping you from being happy you should look into online school, where you can love at your own pace and do it wherever and whenever you want, stay strong hope this helped💗
Delicious Delicates fuck off
Alexia Schieffer I so understand how your feeling. I’m also a junior and this school year has been the toughest year for me mentally. I switched over to online school for my last quarter of junior year (about a month ago) and I am truly in a better mental state. Something about this year made me super depressed and way more stressed about school. Now I understand why people say junior year is the hardest year of high school. I hope that you find peace like I did. Online school is definitely something that can help since you don’t like public school.
You are not German by any chance lol are you? Because of your last name haha
Alexia Schieffer me and I'm a freshman
Personally I love school , I love interacting with friends and fellow classmates , I like presenting my hard work , I like studying and then getting a high mark in return it’s literally so satisfying.... *but one thing I don’t like * is that most schools force students to stand infront of people and are not a good place mentally , you’re making them expose their vulnerability and gives them anxiety. I always feel so bad because i dont know how it feels and you can tell when someone is truly uncomfortable and it’s just a sad thing to experience second hand so I can only imagine being in their shoes*
Sélen Treminio wow I really agree with this , I have panic attack in class and on the first day my heart was racing and I knew in at least one class they would make me stand up and talk about myself ( it happened in every class ) and I really wanted to run out of every class . In 7th grade I almost did online school and me and my mom went to the school counselor but she said “ you will miss out on your middle school experience “ so I had to stay . This year it is way worse and I really don’t wanna become depressed like 7th grade . 8th grade is terrible and my dad won’t let me be online schooled because he thinks it it stupid but he just doesn’t understand. He wants me to be “ normal “ and wants me to be in sports but I have severe anxiety and can’t do sports . I hate the boys in my school they’re sick especially the football boys . I was in volleyball but got out cause I have social anxiety and I couldn’t deal with it . Parents just never understand. :( I’ve been talking to my mom but I don’t know what she’ll say .
Sélen Treminio and im really good at sports and have so much talent but I just can’t , my anxiety controls me .
Marla Alyssa i don't feel alone...
I feel in the same way every time this happens
Every year..
I hated presentations I was always shaking and had so much anxiety and it always sounded like I was crying when I talked so it was even worse and I wouldn’t breathe because I was trying to get it over with and it was so awkward.

No, it's a dumb idea unless you're rich like Emma and can afford a lifestyle outside of school
emma having such a solid support system from her parents was indeed a fucking ladder to her success. I wish i had a parents like hers
I literally hate school. Not in the way that some people say like “ahh I hate school, it sucks”. No. I really hate it. I like my friends and the people I see there but everything is just to much for me and my mental place. It gives me extreme anxiety and makes me so sad and depressed all the time. Even the summer work is stressing me out so much it makes me almost sick, to the point where I either throw up or feel like I’m going to die. I am starting high school and I literally want to die. I don’t want to go, and everything else going on in my life doesn’t help. My family is struggling with money and it’s all just piling up. I go to a private school and the expectations my family has for my grades and the work is just completely overwhelming and unattainable. It makes me want to throw up and cry at the same time just typing about it right now. From school I get severe anxiety attacks all the tine just because of the stress and anxiety it gives me. The private school I go to already gives homework to the point where I have no time to do anything else when I get home, and I’m just talking about middle school, and everyone I talk to that’s older than me tells me that high school is so much harder than middle and I just don’t want to do it! I just don’t, not to mention that I’m in honors and AP classes, I literally want to die.
heyy!! I can totally relate to you. LIKE 101 PERCENT. But believe me , whatever makes you feel like that, you will definitely have a reason to feel so. Like for me it was my grades, I failed in some subjects and I couldn't make it up to confront my parents with those marks and so I started feeling like giving up everything and even became suicidal? Yeah, it WAS that worse. But all these problems are gonna just get away once you try to tackle whatever's coming your way, be it studies or some people or anything else. DO NOT give more concern to things that stresses you out of the limit, think about all these people around the world dealing with it and still surviving through them. Treat yourself more and make efforts to get over all those insecurities. Just think it that way as if its no big deal ...for real. I'm p sure you're gonna be fine with everything soon ^^ Have a good week
heyy! so i had this exact situation happen to me! i hated school sm like i couldn’t stand it, i had mental breakdowns in class and severe anxiety attack every day. my friends wanted to help me but they didn’t know how and i don’t blame em since i was so fragile. i begged and begged to drop out but they wouldn’t let me. but let me tell you that i swear it gets better. i started going to therapy and taking meds. it took a while but slowly i was finally able to get thru the school day. as for work what helped me was to tell my parents what i feel, they’ll know ur not in a good state and will care more about ur health than ur grades. all i can say is don’t over work urself. maybe don’t take AP classes and make the beginning of the year easy. from a scared girl that couldn’t go to school and only went 2 times a week,(i would also leave early cause of my anxiety attacks), to a very social girl who has fun with teachers. i don’t get the straight A’s but i’m much more happier !
Lauren Rice I relate to this so much. I’ve had real bad anxiety when it comes to school for the past 3 years and each year I’ve moved schools (with friends, I couldn’t do it alone) in hopes that things will be better. This year was my last year of school, yet I didn’t make it. It was all too much for me and didn’t the school standards, so was asked to leave. It’s been about a month or two and I’ve been recovering and accepting the fact that it’s okay that I didn’t graduate. Something that’s always been expected from my family, but I’ve failed. Overall I’m so glad I’m out, because the feeling of anxiety and crying every meeting with teachers was horrible and embarrassing
Instead of writing a big ass paragraph...Same.
Honestly, me too. If you ever need to talk to anyone dm me on instagram (my username is hannahzahli). I’ll listen to you and make sure you’re ok!!

I’m definitely going through the same thing the only difference is im in my senior year. all of this started way back at the beginning of sophomore year. i still can’t believe it took me this long to finally make a choice. so because i waited literally two years, my anxiety and depression was at its max that it physically started making me sick. thank god for my understanding mother and counselor, we decided for me to finish my senior year online. im really grateful and don’t regret taking online school. many of my friends would tell me that i would miss out on a lot, socially, since it’s my senior year but honestly i care about my health and happiness more than missing out on my senior prom. so to anyone going through this, please make a choice and put yourself first. if public school isn’t doing you any good, mentally and/or physically, please choose an environment that’ll make you feel better and happier. 💕

"It doesn't matter that you're depressed and you're actually living in hell, like its fine because this is what you're supposed to be doing." ~~ I legit started crying because so many people think like this and its actually killing me.
I’m going through a really similar thing, I’m a freshman in high school and I’m miserable, I can’t even think about school without crying, and my entire school day just consists of me sitting there trying not to cry... this made me feel a lot better to know that it’s not completely unrealistic to not be in school, thank you for making this video

I CAN RELATE SM OMG, FOR SOME REASON I RLLY DON'T WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL, I WAS SO SAD ALL THE FREAKING TIME FOR NO REASON
but if she felt like she was empty and had no energy all the time, it is very possible that it was depression and probable that it was just that stressful, drama-filled environment. also I don't think she was saying she was necessarily depressed and feeling exactly the same way, but she related to the feeling of not feeling 100% in school if that makes sense.
Brenna Coffman im sick for 2 months, and after i recovered i don't feel like i want to go to school anymore,, im so scared and sad all the time, i don't even go to school today

"Were you skiving?" "Nice of you to show up" and my guidance leader always says "omg are you okay? You've missed school!" Like yeah, I have and my mom's explained my problem so leave me alone.

Nope, you do your classes at whatever time you want and you only have a few of them. You wouldn't have like 7 classes in online school. Hope that helps :)

@@anonymous-wk7wr The online school I do, I only have 4 classes. However with ANY online school, you won't have as many as public school, and you can do your classes whenever you want/need to, it helps to set a schedule. It has helped me a lot i recommend it 100%.

Thx sm. How many days a week is it? Five as usual? And what happens when you’re stuck on an assignment or something? Who helps?
The school district genuinely needs to hear this like wtf
What's so sad is that I'm watching this right now in the UK and I feel like I'm in exactly the same situation Emma was in. However i feel like in America they are soooo much more lenient when it comes to school and attendce. I mean like if I ever miss more than 2 days of school 4 other reasons than sickness, great action is taken and dropping out of school is not an option. I feel so stuck idk what 2 dooo
Dude just keep going, eveyone go trough something, life it's not easy everytime, just to let you know everything that happen to you just take it as knowledge and experience, I know that the idea of being at home sounds cool but at the end of the day if you don't do anything with your life and just be at home doing nothing you will get depressed and there's no need to get to that point
Relatable, im in year 11 right now and the school is like if your attendance rate is lower than 97% they LITERALLY sat you and your parents down a traumatised you into going into school😭
My depression got so bad last half term that i missed 3 days of school in a row. The teachers sent letters to my home and were very unhappy when i got back to school. The UK school system is absolute shite. I know i have my GCSE this year but giving me 5 hours of hw each night +Revision is only going to make me have a mental breakdown.

When I was 16 I had been diagnosed with severe social anxiety. It came to the point of me dropping out of public school to then finish the rest of my high school years enrolled in an online school. It was fantastic and allowed me to become independent and really “fix” myself. I am now 20, in college, and am about to finish my associates degree and move onto a bachelors. Sure anxiety is still a part of my life, but it no longer controls me. The social norm of public school is not for everyone. We need to be aware of other forms of education and be more accepting of them.
Oath💗💗💘💘
Bre Louise I had the same fuckin situation. Dropping out of school and starting online school was so helpful. Calming myself down and settleing helped me so much to get my anxiety under my control.
3 days ago I changed schools, and I also have really bad social anxiety, I spend like all my breaks on the bathroom, but in my other school I had some friends and yeah but now I feel so lost and uhhh I'm that creepy kid on the class, and I don't know what to do
How were you able to go to college
Deez Nutz , I was able to manage my anxiety enough to be able to go to a (public, actual campus) college. There are times where I have to go for a walk to calm down from anxiety, but like I said, it's manageable. It's all about figuring out what works for you, setting goals, etc. Plus, I realized life was too short to be anxious over every little thing. So I'm trying to get out of my box
wow.. i told my mom i couldnt go to school anymore bc of bullying, and i got yelled at. you're lucky they let you drop out without having a family drama.. plus my mom kept me in school bc she "wanted to see me graduate" such a waste.
are you still currently in school? maybe you can take extra classes so you can graduate a year or a semester early. a lot of the seniors did that and I wish i could've taken the advantage because i basically had all of the credits i needed to graduate before i became a senior.
nope. i graduated last june
Amber well at least it’s over
Amber i relate oml that actually sucks :(
i remember watching this at the beginning of 2019 when i wanted to leave school because it was the worst school and this video give me the courage to move schools and choose the right decision and now i'm a lot happier. thank u emma
I'm 14 at this current moment in time. And I know I may be too young to consider *not* going to school, etc. But the 'norm' here, is that you finish high school, finish college, get a job, get married, have kids, and stay in this one insignificant place for the rest of your life. And I don't want to do that, the thought of that scares me. There's so many places I want to go and see, and people that I want to meet, and I'm just scared of actually pursuing that, or taking the next step. School is not the place for me, I think it's not a place for a lot of people. The environment in most schools is stressful and unwelcoming, in my case anyways. I know for a lot of individuals it's mostly just the state of mind, and I understand that too. I solely believe that if I dropped out of school at 16-17 I'd be completely fine, because my skill set is decent enough to actually be on my own and function normally. I have no idea what I want to do in my life, and it's just been programmed into my mind that I can't do anything with myself if I don't go to college and actually make money, whatever. And I know that's not true, obviously. I'm just so damn afraid, lol. Like what am I supposed to do with myself when I'm not comfortable with what I'm doing? I don't want to sit around and just deal with having to do this stuff, I want to travel. God, I want to fucking travel, lmao. I want to just explore, and understand the world from going through it with open eyes. Another issue is money, obviously, which scares me the most. I just hope I'm able to figure out what I want to do before it's too late for me to escape. Ok if you made it to the end of this props to you, you're pretty cool. xx
This is an edit, and I don't want to be that person that edits their comments months later, but I keep coming back to this whenever I feel kinda down about it. Because all of you have no idea how much it means to me that someone, anyone, took the time to read this and try to understand how I feel, then show overwhelming support and advice. I know it may seem dumb and sappy, but I'm definitely in a better place because of these replies and kind words. I tried to reply to everyone saying thank you? But I think that's just kinda repetitive, so this was the next best step. But again, thank you thank you thank you, it turns out strangers have given me more stable advice than the people around me ever had. And if anyone, it could be you, (hi there) decides to reply to this in the future, know your words mean more than you know. I also realized that some of you have started to share your own stories and struggles, and I'm not a therapist, but I hope every single one of you find what you're looking for, because you deserve it. Stay safe lovelies
Leah good luck! I hope you figure it out. It is not the same case for me but I understand if it’s yours I hope you can make it work!
Hey I’m 19 and 13-14 is the stage of life where u are not sure if u are a kid/teen or adult like the most awkward stage/phrase of life but don’t worry about life just do your thing and go with the flow of life no one in this world is perfect so go and make your own mistakes and through those mistakes u make u can learn from them u will eventually figure out don’t stress about life take it easy
As a 26 year old hearing kids wanting to drop out of high school shocks me. You need to graduate high school. That is a requirement these days, and it’s becoming a requirement to graduate college in this economy. Please don’t drop out. You have years to travel and live your life. Get your education.
Joey Down in my country where I grew up those who drops out of high school is rebels and lazy not as nice and sweet as Emma but all of them are like very rebellious
THIS IS SO ME
is anyone realising how after emma went to la her voice literally went an entire octave lower
Olivia Hope im wondering, why is that so? hehe
Could be her getting older too
Could be her audio
I mean she is growing lol
it’s puberty. she’s barely gonna be 19.
you're so smart, as a substitute teacher I see the newer generation, primarily people born after 2000, have different attention spans and the school curriculum does not work for them at all, the subjects they teach and the way they teach it is horrible and the kids dont benefit beause they think the same way as you do but unfortunately they do it because like you said it is what we are supposed to do. I graduated hs in 2014 and I did not like school, after 5th grade I hated every minute of school, middle school was awful and at 15 during my sophomore year I wanted to drop out but I just pushed through and I'm glad it's over tbh, I'm in college now and I never even wanted to go but it's hard to not fall into the school system that we are programmed to follow.
I agree so much! I feel like the school system or whatever is so old and needs to be different.
Nouran my sister graduated the same year
can relate, but so freaking jealous of her having that opportunity to drop out and with having her parents being okay with it. most of us don't, and we just have to live through it anyway.
School made me lose all my happiness and tmrw finals begin and im currently crying.

Maria Maria hopefullyyy
I dropped out of high school last year. I have been depressed and had crippling anxiety for 3 years and I have had enough I need to be in control of my mental health and ultimately my life. I’m so happy I found you and your channel and I’m so happy you chose your brain over the system a lot of people are ignorant to alternative life paths because they are scared of anything that involves any sort of risk but because I’m living life the way I want to I’m actually excited about my future instead of dreading it. I hope you are to booboo. Remember degrees don’t define you✌️💕
Infires Man Dude I have so much information for homeschooling in highschool!!!! Can I contact you anywhere besides TH-cam tho?
Infires Man Yep! gemma9602 is my username!
Infires Man Try online schools like Penn Foster or K12 Online school.
Infires Man Hi I just started K12 academy this year and I love it. There are so many benefits to Online School. I prefer Online over Traditional or Homeschooling just because I can be in control of my schedule and learn at my own pace. Also your teachers are their for you 24/7 you can email or call them any time you need them! If you have any questions I'd love to help!
Omg I have social anxiety and depression and I asked my mum if I could get homeschooled and she said she'd see if it's possible but I'm going back to school this monday and I'm terrified I just need someone to kind of tell me what I should do because when I'm at school I'm always depressed , anxious and scared and shy and it feels horrid and as soon as I go outside and walk past people I literally can't breathe my hands go clammy and I feel dizzy and I struggle to concentrate on my work and I just need someone to tell me what I should do and when I get home I cry myself to sleep and I have a school counsellor but it's crap 😔😔
A queen who talks about depression with a smile. We'll protect you. :)
this is literally therapy for me, lowkey needed to hear this. Emma ily, stay real ❤
