Congratulations! You've successfully learned how to cope with this and it is no longer a stressor.
you can't stop tapping your foot and can't seem to sit still for longer than 1 minute before needing to get up and move around.
Your parents are always fighting with each other or with one of your siblings.
a big test is coming up and you have not studied very much, and you don't understand the material as much as you usually do.
most of the people you're friends with have started caring about something you don't care about (clothes, romance, sports, etc.), and it's all they talk about any more.
Your friend Li'l Suzy has been quarantined to keep themself and the people around them safe. you can't see each other for two weeks.
you don't want to get up in the morning and have a hard time getting moving or motivated to do anything.
Everyone in your house is always so busy, you almost never have anyone to talk to or do things with, so you end up spending time alone. -OR- if you would like this, no one has anything to do, so they're always up in your grill 24/7
getting the highest grade is the most important thing to you. there is a lot of pressure (from you or someone else) to achieve, and you usually do. but this time... you got a D.
People you love that used to get along are fighting now because of politics.
between school, lessons, sports, activities, and friends, you have little to almost no time to breathe and/or think.
you did the thing and you got caught. you get big time grounded for THREE MONTHS. no phones, no screens, no snacks.
you keep hearing unexpected, strange, and scary things about what junior high is like, and it's all you can think about.
you feel like the "odd man out;" no one seems to notice you, or it feels like everyone ignores you. you want to make friends but you don't know how.
Your great-grandmother is hospitalized for complications from her case of COVID.
you don't know what to expect, things aren't as easy to understand anymore, things seem to be mixed up and backwards all the time and there's nothing you can do about any of it.
