Hey @Danial
It’s great to hear that you have been able to connect with your online friends and that your parents have also been so supportive! I know that you mentioned that you don’t like talking to the wellbeing coordinator which is understandable if you haven’t had the best experiences in the past. I was wondering if you have looked into the peer chat sessions that were mentioned or thought about reaching out to Kids Helpline? It might be a nice option for you to talk to someone online about how you are feeling and get some more support.
It’s important to know that making mistakes is completely normal and something we all do. And it is okay to make mistakes (that’s what makes us human). We all find ourselves in situations where we make choices that aren’t always the best but it is something we can learn from.
I can hear that you’re feeling upset with yourself about this and I’m sorry to hear that but it’s important to know that you are not alone in experiencing this. Sometimes when we make mistakes, they can be opportunities for growth, self-reflection and something we can all learn from. It sounds like you weren’t aware that using ChatGPT was cheating as you were using it to help with your structure and sentences, but now that you are more aware it could be something to be mindful of for your other subjects. Or perhaps you could speak with your teachers about how you could use ChatGPT in a way that is beneficial for you without cheating?
It sounds like you are acknowledging what has happened and taken responsibility for it and this isn’t easy to do, it takes a lot of courage and strength to do so and you should be really proud of yourself. I wanted to share this article with you that you may find helpful, it’s about recovering after making a mistake.
Whilst I can hear how upset you are with yourself, it’s important that you remain kind to yourself as you deserve compassion and forgiveness. Are there any nice things that you can do for yourself over the weekend to make you feel better? If you want some ideas on what to do, we have a collection of resources about self-care that you can access here.
Remember that making mistakes is something we all do and it allows us to learn and become better versions of ourselves.
Thank you again for reaching out, we are all here to listen and support you.
