Ever. Any time you gain by not sleeping is lost many times over by messing up your head. I would like to add: This is true regardless of any pills you may take. As I'm typing this at 1 am, I guess I should be heeding my own advice. Good Night.

I totally know what your going through. This year coming up will be my sophmore year, and let me tell you, the end of freshman year was one of the most grueling experiences of my life. I can remember staying up until 3:00 and 4:00 in the morning trying to finish review sheets, term papers, studying, you name it. I can remember going to school having gotten 45 minutes of sleep and telling everyone 'I'm okay, I'm not tired' and then falling asleep in class. My advice to everyone is, time management. Make a schedule and stick to it. Of course I tell myself this every year, and have I done it successfully ever? Not once, but all you can do is keep on trying. Hi, and thanks for the comic.

It all depends on how you deal with it, how you wake up in the morning really. I'm a sophmore now, and things are starting out really busy. I heard this is your most busy year because you have bigger expectations and you've got the bothersome freshman's tagging along everywhere, while on top of that worrying about if you'll get your credits, and what you need to graduate. Honestly, my freshman year wasn't the easiest, so they tell me. I'm one of those 'goody-two-shoes' i guess you could say, and i stay on top of the game. Well towards the end of first semester i got -very- sick. Almost like mono (if you've ever had it, it's sucks bad. you're bed ridden, and completely weak). Like you, i took sleeping pills, because for a reason not explained most highschoolers tend to get insomina. But after i recovered, learned how to cope with no sleep, and had fun with my friends and extracurricular activities, it was all better. So some advice? Be nice in class, especially to your peers. Because i garuntee, what goes around comes around. Oh, and talk just the right amount, and always wake up on the right side of the bed. Because one family member, or one prick with a hurtfull comment can ruin a whole day, week, or even your whole year. So look on the bright side of things, and it certainly helps to have a friend with you along the way. cat Yeah, High School can be -extremely- stressing.

It is good to know I am not alone. Thank you for sharing your painful life lessons. Thank you more for sharing ways to cope. Yuck. I faced the pressure only when my body said 'Enough'. I am learning better ways. I have to. I guess my advice would be for those who believe that they can continually push themselves to the limits and beyond: You have to be good to yourself. You are either your best friend or your worse enemy. You choose. Thank you again, Tracy. Thank you. It is good to know I am not alone. Thank you for sharing your painful life lessons.

I'm 24 now but I remember my 18's and 19's during some hateful years in Industrial Engeneering...I suffered from anxiety and ulcera and a complete set of psicosomatic symptoms, even realising that they were stress caused, I could'nt stop them. Last summer my girlfriend also left me during exams and i was completely dumped and smoked... but somehow I found the strengh to carry on and deal with stress, just trying to focus on how good my life was even in those moments of academic/sentimental pain. I don't have a magic tip for fighting stress, but i'm sure that the same energy inside us that produces pain can produce healing. Search within ourselves is an incredibly powerful tool, (and i'm not a religious/new age guy). Call it Zen on whatever but everyone of us has to deal with our fear sometime during life...and finally, I think you Tracy have made a beautiful and magical work turning your suffering into a piece of art that everyone of us can enjoy and admire.

Needless to say, when all this caffene hit my system, I was vibrating more than a hummingbird on a tuning fork in an earthquake.

Consequences that happen to you, in regards to how you deal with stress, is the only important thing. Do things because you will benefit from it, not you family, friends, or other significants.

Mon, 20 Aug 2007 13:11:53 +0000 http://www.traced.com/2007/06/15/pressure-episode-1/#comment-284 Dear Tracy, Your comic was very good. I think that you should post that comic any where you can becuase alot of girls and guys go through this and if they see they are not alone and that tere are other ways to deal with stress mabey it will help them to live a little easier. I am a person who stresses alot becuase i'm so busy. I'm in the 11th grade and I participate in alot of activitys. It's hard for me to be dedicated and keep my grades up. One of the things that help me relive stress is putting on my favorite music and dancing for a couple of hours or calling my best friend up. Thanks for putting up a subject i can relate to.

Usually there are movies about that type of pressure but from the parents point of view. Thank you for submitting the comic for others to see. I now understand what people go through.

You might get an A in the beginning of the year, and then a B next trimester, and your parents and teachers will start telling you that you should have done better than your best. I hate it, so instead of having any fun, I cram every day. I took those caffine pills once, but i had the whole box. I hurt myself. But now I am taking help classes, like meditating, and art classes where i can just let everything go on paper, and there are no grades!

It shows you how people deal with things and how they realize right from wrong. It is good. I guess thats all I have to say about it. hi, so anywayz I liked the comic because it was realistic and not cheasy. It shows you how people deal with things and how they realize right from wrong.
