That for the most part yeah, but also school assignments/projects were becoming more lengthy and tedious to the point where I stopped taking them seriously. I’ve always had pretty good memory so I didn’t form the habit of using planners/calendars until college when it finally sank in that I couldn’t just juggle everything in my head.
My mom stopped being a sahm and went back to work. This resulted in a significant increase in processed foods in my diet, due to the ease of providing these foods relative to home cooked meals, and my unsupervised access to an essentially endless supply of junk food and soda. Additionally, it resulted in less time outside performing physical exercise and less time spent positively socializing with other people. And also, reduced attention given to my sleep habits and personal grooming. These changes resulted in me going from a fairly happy and bright, if odd, student; to a rather poor but untroublesome student who was overweight, ungroomed, constantly sleep deprived, had poor executive function, and who suffered from somewhat severe social anxiety and depression.
The first one K-5th grade, the second for the remainder.
Interesting. What caused the change?
Becoming a teenager presumably
