Revealed! How to Deal With Frustrations at High School?

School is one of the most common places where frustrations do arise. School is the place where a person is trained academically to prepare him how to live his life according to the field of concentration he takes. However, the training is not as easy as you perceive it; sometimes if not often, expectations are hard to meet and thus, frustrations come along; some of the students were able to surpass these frustrations and finish their course, but some did hardly handle the situations that made them quit school in no time, and just chose to have no degree rather than be frustrated the entire college life.

Looking at the brighter side, these frustrations at high school could help us do a practice on how to live in real life, because life outside school is cruel and unfair – the frustrations at high school are just a piece of the very huge cake. Dealing with these frustrations could be very hard, but let me present to you several effective tips on how to deal with them and live a peaceful life during the entire time you are at school earning. So here are some of the scenarios often happen at school and how you will properly deal with them:

1. Your professor is ruining your favorite subject.

Yes, indeed it could really happen. That one subject you have loved for years since High School just turned into something unlovable because of your impassioned and boring professor. This could really be frustrating especially if the subject is your major and you have no choice but to deal with it every single class. But, this should not stop you from being attentive at school. If this happens, you must think that your professor is just there to facilitate learning and thus, you have all the capability to process everything that you wanted to learn. Remember that your professor is really good at that subject but you must take note too that not all geniuses can teach. Some of them could not put their level of thinking into parallel to their students’ capacity to understand. So, if he cannot teach, run through your modules and list down questions and try to ask those questions inside the class. That way, you are not just clearing things out; you are also encouraging interactions that are very vital to validate accuracy and comprehension.

2. Your course is not as nice as it sounds like.

Some courses offered in schools, colleges and universities sound really great. This could be one of the reasons why you took a certain course. But, when you are already halfway in your college life, you realized that you made a different picture that is completely different to its exact image. Well, this happened to me when I took up nursing and when I was already in my internship, I realized nursing is not more on curing, it is more on caring. I enrolled myself to nursing profession picturing out myself wearing all white and taking vital signs or assisting surgeries, but it turned out that its approach is holistic and its scope is from womb to tomb. It really frustrates me so much; however, I had spent so much time on it for me to back out and enroll to another course. What I did, I took it as an opportunity to learn more things. It relieved my frustrations when I realized that it is not bad at all. Anyways, if I will not be passionate about it in the future I can just go back to school and pursue what I really want. It is also one way to practice how to fulfill your commitment. School is not just a place, beyond that, is a commitment to finish. It is not something that you don’t like you will turn it down and try another. It will teach you how to become more responsible in life.

3. Your classmates are not fun to be with.

Although this is the least among the top three which I considered as the most frustrating cases at school, this is the most common thing why a student lack enthusiasm to go on with his studies. Regardless how nice the professor is, how reasonable the descriptive titles are, yet if the people you go with your journey at school are not on the same page with you, then it will suck everything up. You will not be motivated to do activities that will involve group work. However, it will be another challenge to conquer frustration and turn it into a new relationship. Befriending people who have different interests is one way to grow personally and professionally. It will open doors of effective understanding why people behave differently.

Actually, frustrations are everywhere. It might be at school, at home, in a very strange place and person, but these are just frustrations if you will not let these affect your potentials, your integrity and beliefs. Just remember, if frustrations strike, go back to your values and reassess if you are behaving accordingly or not.
