Relief but depressed
Feeling of relief because I might be trying a new home school system and depressed because I have to quit my pride of being in band at a football game and just the sound of the band makes me cry. But trying to be a little happy I think I shouldn’t have came to the game to watch the band. My mom is being negative and saying I won’t get into the new online school because she doesn’t have faith in me. So yeah idk what to do?

IF YOU ARE UP FOR IT
- If you are unable to pursue continuing in the band at school maybe you could play a single instrument and try to join a different band, club, or event that would allow you to continue playing! Playing instruments are a great coping skill for people and it shouldn’t be something you just give up because of cyber school, if you have a passion for playing try to find that different way to keep playing!
