The husband struggles with his high school grades because there's too much pressure to keep up. He started using drugs but realized it wasn't healthy enough. The wife suggests talking to a therapist or finding stress-reducing activities together, suggesting yoga or meditation as healthy coping mechanisms.

I'm really struggling with keeping up with my grades in high school. It's so overwhelming.
gpt
Have you talked to your teachers or a counselor at school about it? They might be able to offer some extra help or resources.
human
Yeah, I have. But it just feels like there's so much pressure to do well and I can't keep up. That's why I started using drugs.
gpt
Wait, what? That's not a healthy way to deal with stress. Have you considered other options, like talking to a therapist or finding a stress-reducing activity to do?
human
I know it's not healthy, but it helps me forget about my problems and feel more relaxed.

Using drugs might make you feel better temporarily, but it's not a long-term solution. And it can also lead to addiction and other problems down the line.
human
I didn't even think about that. Maybe you're right, I should look into other options.
gpt
Absolutely. And we can talk to your school and get you some extra support. Remember, you don't have to do this alone.
human
Thanks for being supportive. I feel really alone sometimes.
gpt
Of course, I'm always here for you. And we can also talk more about finding healthy coping mechanisms for stress, too. Remember when we talked about yoga or meditation?
human
Yeah, that's a good idea. Maybe we can start doing that together.
gpt
I'd love that. And we'll figure this out together.
