Nina, Help!! I have some problems at school. My classmates are very noisy. I can't focus on my lessons. The school food is really bad. I don't want to eat it. Besides, I have to get up at 6:40 every morning. I feel so tired and sleepy. Most importantly, I don't know why I need to study. I feel lost and confused. What should I do?!!❤❤❤️
