Coming of Age Sad Teens & Young Adult

Breathing strongly the thought flash through your head. Your heart is pounding, body heat boiling up inside. Anxious, fear, nervous, tense, worried, All the feelings curl up inside me like chees curds. I tap my foot on the hard floor and my hand on the desk tap, tap. Dramatic breathing. I can’t do this. Tears fill my eyes oh no it is happening. You all know that feeling when you don't know how to do it and you are the only person who can’t. The teacher tells the class to get in groups for a Math competition against our other classmates. You are the last person to get picked no one wants you. You question everything about yourself like why and I am so stupid, why don't I have any friends. Water starts to fill your eyes you choke back the tears. You get in a line and go to the back. Chewing on your nail and pacing back and forth. Lip starts to tremble as you are three places away from going. You try to focus on what you have to do to solve the question. The horrible thoughts start to take over. You close your eyes focus you say. You feel a little more confident till you realize your next. The smartest kid in the class taps you on the shoulder you have to get the answer right they say. You shuffle your feet moving to the teacher and her flashcards. She flips the flashcard. So you have the numbers 3 and 6. You start to think Wait how many hours are left in the day 4 right? Focus you think to yourself. You know the answer is six you are about to shout it out four you shout. Oh crap I mean six. I am sorry the teacher says but you answer four first so your answer is wrong. The other team wins. How could you get the answer round why did you say four people start to shout. You are stupid the kid in the back of the line says. You can’t chock those tears back anymore the tears drip down your face. Kids shout stop being a crybaby. You run out of the class the teacher yells but you don’t care. You fall on your knees. Taking a shrieking breath a teacher comes over to you. you can’t talk your eyes blur. curling up into a ball shaking, and taking shrieking breaths. Why did this have to happen to me? The painful stress always takes over. Thanks for reading m story please give me tips.

It was a great story! I love the detail you use when your character is feeling all that anxiousness, there were a few spelling mistakes, and a bit confusing for the math part, like maybe explain what they're doing, like adding or subtracting, or some other thing like finding a common factor to add more detail. Hope this helped! -CJ
