Ever had one of those days when you think your head's about to explode, only because you missed a class? Well, if you miss a lesson again, be sure to read this simple article to help you through your 'struggle'.

Take some time alone

It always is a good idea to get in your room and get yourself away from household problems when you are already stressed with school. Otherwise, you may find the situation getting over the top for you. Ask your parents to be excused to your room, and if they ask why, tell them you're having problems at school and wish to solve the problem out, preferably by yourself. When you achieve some time alone, admit to yourself that you've made a mistake and think of a way through.

Be Optimistic

Pessimists never succeed because they always have a kind of barrier between themselves and success itself, which is their own thought. They keep on thinking they'll never succeed. In other words, they always expect for the worst in everything they do, to them success is just not meant for them. Do yourself a favor and don't allow yourself to be one of those people. Think positive and think forward. When you do this, you can tell yourself to work hard until you get the job done, instead of just giving up every time you think you won't make it. Plus, it adds more effort to your work, something you ought to be proud of.

Turn off your computer

Unless it's for your studies or research, turn off your computer so that you won't be as tempted to go on games and social bookmarking sites such as Facebook and MySpace. Some say taking a break for a couple of minutes from the book is good. True - but a couple minutes on Facebook may lead to an hour. The same applies for other non-educational sites. If you want to take a break, use your break intervals to get some snacks. That way, you'll be moving your body as well as resting your brain.

Do Not Procrastinate

When you think of procrastinating, remind yourself that procrastination - is never good and is the enemy of time and work. Unless you start doing your work now, you are not ever going to get the work done so might as well start working now and adds more time for later studies and revision. In addition, you won't lose your ideas too easily and may be able to have more free time after.
