... I have a 4.252 GPA and I am #5 in my class. This year, I'm taking 3 AP classes and I currently have a B in all 3 classes. I never get Bs, it's always been As. I've become so much more stressed and scared that my GPA will drop and my ranking will drop. I know Junior year is the year colleges look at and I am scared that my grades will not be up to par with how I want them. Plus my sports and being in a military program that I hold a leadership position in, I am a busy person. But the prior years, I was able to deal with it perfectly fine and did very well. This year, I've never felt so stressed before and it's not even like I'm overwhelmed, it's like I have a lot to do and I'm not doing the best that I know I can do. These past couple days I have cried at night thinking about my grades and how I feel like I'm failing and I have a huge fear of failure. I'm like a perfectionist and failure isn't an option for me because always had such a high standard of excellence for myself. How do I stop stressing so much about school?

IT'S OKAY, Just because you got a few B's does not mean it's over. The fact that you're taking 3 AP classes and getting those marks mean you're doing great, actually even better than that.
But the question is what helps you feel relaxed and calm? Usually focusing on something else helps me, like working out, listening to music or drawing. If you don't know what helps you deal with stress, maybe try them out. If you've tried them and it still doesn't help, I think talking to your school counsel would be a better idea.
You're welcome :) I'm glad this helped.
Wow, that actually helped a lot. Thank you so much, I really needed that!I'll try and relax a little more. I haven't realized until now how obsessed I've been with just school work and school clubs.
