To Annie, please: I am now a 17-year-old girl who will turn 18 next month. As a senior in high school, I have outstanding grades! I have submitted applications to all of my colleges, and I am currently awaiting the results, which I will receive shortly. The colleges are in New York, D.C., and North Carolina, and I live in Arizona. New York is my top pick.Senioritis is the issue I have. Prior to my senior year, I had heard that procrastination and a decline in academics are two consequences of senioritis, which is unavoidable. My issue is that everyone and everything irritates me so much that I don’t have those issues.Let me illustrate with a few instances. The bus: our recently hired bus driver is unreliable. She didn’t show up one day, so my neighbors and I had to wait for a replacement bus for thirty minutes. In addition, I had a math test in first period! Fortunately, I still received a 90% even though that depressed me during the test.Additionally, the other students: I had been feeling bad about my classmates, and as a result, I got into a minor altercation with two of them in my ceramics class.
I have really negative feelings about high school and its students. Additionally, I strongly oppose forming any new relationships with my school’s students because, in my opinion, there is no purpose, particularly when attending an out-of-state institution. I will, nevertheless, continue to converse with some students. Apart from that, I simply isolate myself from everyone.
That is just how I like it, even though I know it’s not a good thing. I require a new beginning from everyone and everything at my school. My ceramics teacher is attempting to assist me in resolving the increase in my negativity, but I am unable to do so. I’ve had enough of everything! Is this typical?

To Annie, please: The letter of the woman who dated a man for three years before he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma caught my attention.Multiple myeloma claimed my husband’s life. He battled this disease for eight years. No remedy exists. Only the cancer’s life is prolonged by treatment. I refer to these periods of remission as the hibernating bear. It returns.Perhaps he knew this and wanted to spare her, which is why he ended the relationship. He doesn’t want her to experience it again after she lost her first marriage. I can understand what he is doing if this is the case.Perhaps it’s simpler to move on from a bad breakup than to die again. I know, I assure you. — HeartacheTo My Heartbreak: Losing a loved one is the worst pain in the world. I appreciate you giving In Shock this different viewpoint. It proves that we should never make snap judgments about someone’s decisions.
