Never raise your parents expectations of you

[Deleted member 25713]

Only try hard and do well for the things that really count like final A-level exams etc.

If you consistently do well in school and win awards etc. and then you slip and fall due to laziness/mental health they will react 10x worse, even if the grades you get are actually quite decent. They will kick you out of the house or some shit and leave you hanging worse than dumb Chad who partied all year and then started revising hard for his A-levels and got 3 Bs. It will literally ruin your life.

Make sure they only expect the bare minimum from you for as long as possible.

Honestly school is a waste of time I can just learn the entire course a week before the exam and get an A*. Now I’m too lazy for even that.

i study on the last night before any exam and so far this been working out just great for me. i havent been to school since idk when but aslong as i get good grades nobody really cares.

this way of studying and living has destroyed my sleep schedule and mental health tho

It's usually just procrastination. Even if you they are high IQ most people just spread out revision to reduce stress. I don't get any sleep and destroy my brain cramming everything the night before.

The main problem is that procrastination just tends to progress and get worse and worse at it has root causes like it did for me. Might not be relevant for you but be careful since I ended up not even bothering revising until the morning of some of my final A-level exams and stressed myself out. You could end up just losing interest in studying completely.
