How to stop being sad?

[Anonymous]

So to start off I’m a senior in high school. This year we didn’t have an Ap government teacher for 3 months and this was my only class at the school. The beginning of the school year my career counselor told me that they were accepting 20 absences for year long. So because we didn’t have a teacher and that was my only class I felt that I should not come to school and focus on my senior plans and also go to work.

Apparently, I could only have 10 absences and not 20. Which I wasn’t aware of. The school just implemented the policy this year. We finally got a teacher and she’s from Poland teaching us AP Government. Some days she would even forget to take attendance but I thought it was a big deal considering I’m passing the class and I need to stay under 20.

Well, today when I went to discuss my attendance with the attendance lady. She told me I basically failed the class. But, she told me to contact the office lady to talk to her to see what i can do. I have 30 credits but government is a requirement for my school and now I’m having a panic attack and freaking out right now. I’m so afraid I won’t be able to graduate I’m also frustrated because I work two jobs and I dedicated everything to that class and my hard work should pay off.

Oh well, tough titty said the kitty. You knew damn well you should have gone to class and you skipped anyway. Enjoy Senior Year 2, electric boogaloo.

But it’s not my fault. It’s the school’s fault. And I doubt they’re going to fail me anyways they just gave me an honor roll certificate yesterday😂😂

No, it's your fault. You didn't pay attention to the change in attendance policy.

But, the career counselor told me they were still doing 20

She was wrong. Still your responsibility to know the policy. And all this is BS, your school would have let your parents know you werent going to class.
