I was a topper in my school till 11 and all of a sudden my marks went down in 12th because my mom started staying at home and there was a lot of pressure from her we used to fight and I started crying a lot and started feeling sad like most of the times plus I have not been able to learn after that. I've become an almost below average student now and prefer being alone and I've become short tempered. Is something wrong or is it normal? What should I do to improve my academics?
