So sorry to hear about your injury and the resulting issues. While you have no control over some of those things (like being able to play sports), maybe you can try doing things that you can still do and join some clubs in school related to them...art, music, government, yearbook....whatever your school offers. Maybe you'll even find fun in some things you've never tried before. Also, you don't have to fake happiness, if you're upset, tell someone, a friend, school counselor, parent, grandparent. There are plenty of adults out there that care and want to see you succeed through your injury. Call or text us anytime at 888-222-2228.

I'm sorry to hear what you are going through with your mom. It can be frustrating to feel like you are doing your best and someone is not seeing that in you. Do you feel like you could talk to your mom about how you are feeling? If not may there is someone that could help you talk to her about what's going on. You could also consider speaking to a counselor or family counselor. It sounds like you need someone to talk to and to help her understand where you are coming from. Many times people don't know how they are affecting us unless we let them know. If you want to talk more about this or any other issue you are having you can call/text 2NDFLOOR Youth Helpline 24/7 at 888-222-2228.
