Fear of failure in the 10th grade (Tips)?

So it is that I'm really very worried about this topic. It's about that I'm very afraid of the next class so the 10th grade of secondary school.

This is most likely due to the fact that in recent times I have experienced many setbacks [if you can call it that]. On the one hand, I learned several weeks for just one school assignment and have lost it so blatantly, or even lately when I wrote a maths school assignment. At this point, I have to admit that I played a lot of PS4 and left it until the last day. So I almost went through the night, so I could focus on the topic or topics I had to study. I also admit that it was because I played too much.

and in my opinion there's the main problem, my gambling addiction… I try to explain my problems as well as possible on the basis of bullet points…:

My gambling addiction in the sense of PS4
I do not often go out with my friends because I've moved and these and I have no fancy going so far just to pick someone up
My younger cousin is more successful than me though he is in the 7th grade of secondary school but still I have an unbelievable will that he does not get better like me [at this point I advise you to read the last question from me!]

I HOPE YOU CAN Help THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS WITH MY PLAYING ITSELF, so I can't concentrate, so I ask for concentration tips and especially about the other issue listed above (do not be angry for the capital letters) sry

The 10th grade is really very important. I know of a person who has this verkicks and now with the final certificate (secondary school) suffers much. So take care of your gambling addiction and do your schoolwork conscientiously. Pull this through! You'll soon realize how good that is!

You do not have to be better than someone. Competition can backfire there. As long as you get good grades, everything is fine. You do not have to compare with anyone else!

The first thing you can do is try to divide your time.

For example, you can learn for the school and focus on it, and still gamble 1-2h maximum a day.

Always squat a little less on the PC every day until you stop it by yourself

Had the same problem as you, I'm a girl but had a total PC / Laptop gaming addiction and so on.

I played less and less every day until I finally lost all interest

Incidentally, I also met with friends and used my free time → I was looking for a part-time job to save for my driver's license and have registered in a gym

For example, the more you hang out in sports activities or commitments such as jobs, the less you will even have TIME to gamble on the PC

The most important at this point is also the school, learn a lot, best alone, or with friends, depending on what you benefit more

The problem with any addiction is that it's not enough to just recognize it. You have to be willing to do something about it, otherwise it will remain a plausible excuse, often for things that have completely different causes.

Tip number 1 in addictions: withdrawal! Very few alcoholics are able to "have a drink", and the least gambling addicts "play a bit". So: completely or not at all. And since "quite" mostly does not do well, only "not at all" remains…

So if you're really addicted - do not touch your Playstation! Forget about your cousin, and whether he will be "better" than you. And look for spare jobs. Go out with your friends again, set up a serious learning plan to work through your shortcomings and think about a support group.

If you find out from these prospects that you are not really "addicted", but "just" exaggerating, set up firm rules. Only after the homework / your learning play play, single days for other activities keep clear etc.

Sometimes you unconsciously take refuge in "substitute actions" or "distractions" so you do not have to deal with other things. If you are overwhelmed at school, do not seek excuses, but help against it! Actually, one should already be aware enough by regular attendance in the classroom not to "fail miserably" during work…
