How to effectively deal with stress resulting from failing a grade
Tips on advising a stressed friend who failed a grade
Now you have a friend who failed a grade and he/she is so stressed and doesn’t know how to cope with the feeling of getting behind. Seeing your peers move to the next grade while you remain on the same grade can be a devastating feeling. Below are some of the tips and guidelines you can use to convince your friend that they should accept and move on with life.
Tip One: “Take it easy on yourself friend”
Hey friend, take it easy on yourself. As long as you are healthy, have eaten, dressed, and have a shelter to lay your head in, you have concurred 95% of the problems that face many in this life. So you should take it easy. Schools, grades, as well as expectations, are all invented by humans. Thus, their meaning can be changed at any time. You might be facing great shame from your parents and family in general, but at the end of the day it is only you who need to stand up for yourself and perceive the world through your own lenses and say to yourself out loud: “I’m a human”, “I’m the best there is”, “I’m fine with myself”, “no one can put my spirit down beside myself”, “I’m what the world is waiting for” “repeating a grade simply means I will gain more knowledge from this grade than my peers who have moved to the next one”, “I have many brighter days ahead of me flourishing at what I do”.
“So long and take it easy, because if you start taking things seriously, it is the end of you.”
Jack Kerouac
Failing is for everyone
We all fail in life. Every great man or woman you know today has failed more than he/she succeeded at what they do. To wise people, failure is an opportunity to grow. It is an opportunity to rethink and reinvent yourself.
“When you take risks you learn that there will be times when you succeed and there will be times when you fail, and both are equally important.”
Ellen DeGeneres
