Grade 10 is tough and i dont have anytime to play videogames no more. decided to quit valorant for good and uninstalled it cause of pressure. will still be on the site for now tho
I'm gonna be real with you... unless you're taking AP or have a billion extracurriculars or something of the sort, if you don't have time to play video games in grade 10, then chances are the problem is time management.
I was in your place 2 years ago, thought I couldn't play games anymore, talked to friends who did have time to play, and the majority of them had a working schedule that allowed them to get work done in an efficient manner. I have more free time now, as a 12th grader juggling school, work, and uni applications, than I did as a 10th grader, and the only change I made was laying out a rough idea of what I wanted to do and when. It's that simple.
You can still quit VALORANT if you want to, of course, but if you're not finding time to do everything you'd like to do in a day then a simple schedule could be super beneficial to you. :)
I think quitting for now is a pretty good idea. You don't really wanna be overloading yourself with work, though, so I do recommend finding a way to take short breaks every now and then. Get up, take a walk, eat something, do anything you enjoy... let yourself reset mentally before going back to work ๐
I was in your situation so ik how it feels (Took all honors and AP sophomore year and juggled three different clubs). Got into a bit of a slump the beginning of the year but here's some things that helped me bounce back:
