How do I tell my coach this?
Okay, I’ve never really used Reddit but I’m honestly desperate. I’m a freshman and I’m struggling with my grades a lot right now. I used to be a really smart student but this year I became extremely stressed and depressed and skipped school a lot. Now we’re approaching the end of the year and my main concern is my PE grade, which is an F. I really don’t want to retake PE, and it’s really embarrassing if someone were to know I failed PE of all classes. My PE grade is mostly based on mile time and attendance, and I’ve missed a lot of miles and days of school. And the thing with my coach, is she’s a complete bitch. She has favorites in class, and I’m one of her hated students. She posted on Google Classroom an assignment for our final grade, and basically we have to tell her our current grade, the grade we think we deserve, and why. I’m really scared, but I need to at least try and tell her I want at least a D just so I can pass. I just don’t know how to explain to her how the year has gone for me. In just the past few months my dog that I’ve had my WHOLE life died, and I was even more depressed. The most stress I’m having is because of my family in Lebanon, an active war zone. It’s been going on for months and I’ve just been so demotivated, depressed, and stressed out. I’m so worried for my family, and now on top of that I might fail a class. I don’t know how to explain this to my coach without sounding crazy, especially when she already thinks that I’m just a lazy bum who skips class for no reason at all. Please help😵💫
