About Trevor
Expertise
I can answer questions on about anything you need/want to know about high school. Problems in school, questions about classes you should or shouldn't take, studying strategies, and I can even help on some homework if you need it. I lean more to the science side as I have had some College Prep science classes and one college science class which was Forensic Chemistry AND i can help with your French homework because I have had four years of French plus an A.P. French course. I am usually always available because I am answering questions from my iPhone.

Experience
I am a high school student right now, I am a Senior at my school and I know everything anyone needs to know about it.

Education/Credentials
Two college prep classes which are C.P. Biology, C.P. Chemistry. One advanced placement class which is A.P. French. And i have also taken a college course which is Forensic Chemistry.

High School Life - stressed out


Expert: Trevor - 8/13/2008

Question
hi, I'm involved in rowing for my high school. Its a very demanding sport and takes a lot out a person who is just starting out. Its only my first year but in my second semester in high school i noticed i was becoming more incompetent with my school work. I couldn't pay attention in class i would space out, and be uncontrollably stressed on the simplest things. Was i not only stressed in school but when i would come home it seemed everyone and everything made me angry. I don't want to enter into another year of school and have this happen again. What can i do to make sure stress is a limited thing in my life, so my school work is not affected by what happens outside of the classroom and that i don't lash out on my family members?

Answer
The sport is the cause of your problem, Try it again this year (if you want to) and if things don't change, maybe its time to look for a less demanding sport.  If you don't want to change sports, Go talk to the school counselor and ask him/her if there is anything you can do to change the problem, I am pretty sure they will help you out :)
