So today I finally decided that I was going to ask that girl out (the redhead, with the horses), but I lacked a good time to do it, so I decided to wait until the end of the day.

Well, after lunch our counselor came in and made us do something involving our GPA and some aweful college preparedness site, and they showed us what our current grades were.

I have a 3.88.

I honestly just about cut my wrists right there.

Grades, and overall intellectual prowess, are very important to me, and seeing this more or less sent me over the edge. My main goal in life is to become valedictorian; that is literally the only thing that I want, and with this sort of pattern it would be impossible to do. I didn't do anything the rest of the day, I didn't even correct a major mistake our biology teacher made about the earth's crust (he mixed up the plate tectonics with the earth's mantle). I pretty much decided to sulk my way through the rest of the day.

So, that girl sat behind me on the bus. She kept looking down at her phone and tapping it, even though she was only on her homepage, like she always does when she is bored.

Basically, I moved back when the monitor wasn't looking, I tried to talk to her, and pretty well confessed my entire depression spiral since my near-suicide after 8th grade graduation.

To avoid this becoming a wordwall, I won't explain it. The interesting part of this is that she honestly was very nice about it. She kept telling me that I was the smartest person she knew, and that this sort of thing didn't matter. I started carrying on about Alfred Nobel and his whole false death thing, until we got to my stop. She listened. She is literally the only girl my age (and one of the only people period) who has ever listened to me explain anything. I told her that she was beautiful and got off.

So... What do you all think about it? Do you think I start the tunnel into the molten plate tectonics?

"My main goal in life is to become valedictorian..."

Well, you are gonna have to put some hard determination into that. I wanted to be Valedictorian, but realism hit me, and said if I keep doing the same thing, I wouldn't get anywhere.

I still have really good grades and all, but don't get yourself in a situation where you are too stressed.

"I told her that she was beautiful and got off."

I feel you are getting somewhere.

I've been studying extremely hard, almost to the point of overwork. My main grade-killer is Pre-Ag (Also known as guess the FFA fact).

Not to completely undermine your entire story, but chill.

I'm sure you've heard it before but high school love stories really become extremely irrelevant as you get older. You won't understand and you'll dismiss my post, saying that it's just some older guy and he doesn't get it. I know, I went through high school too. I had my share of crushes as well.

It's good that you have someone who you can talk to about your issues. Something that you should really understand is that while grades are important they don't make up your entire life. In a few years grades won't matter, and depending on what kind of job you end up getting they'll matter even less. What really matters in life is your ability to get things done. Since you've got a pretty good GPA that's a good indicator that you can get things done.

Being valedictorian will matter for getting into a decent college, but I managed to get into a high level engineering school and I'm pretty sure my GPA was closer to a low 3.0-something. I can, however, understand complex logic systems and improve upon them. I can also figure out things on my own. Both of these are valuable skills and I've gotten several different jobs because of these skills.

So don't beat yourself up too much over it. Work hard and do the best that you can. Shoot for the goal, but if you miss it understand that it really doesn't matter in the long run.

5 years out from your graduation you'll talk to maybe 3-4 people from your high school class. Those people are your true friends and they really won't care about grades.

Academia places a huge burden on grades, and while they're very important they're not worth seriously worrying about. I know people who have gotten 4.0+ in high school and college, they're not working in top end jobs. One of my jobs I was working for a guy who had no college experience and could write circles of code around my head while I was still trying to understand the original problem.

Work hard and get through it, but no reason to get that worked up over it bro.

I'd like to comment on your depression and obsessive behavior. You shouldn't have to rely on someone's presence or reciprocation to make you function. I suggest you need some good coping skills with that, bro.

An administrator just posted on this, and he didn't CD me afterwards.

Thank you, very much. This honestly helps me a lot. I'll think about what you said.
