I'm curious. How did you interpret Kyle's reactions? Seems to me he is trying to understand and support. Not perfect, but trying - human in fact. Maybe like you in fact, but you are currently in a darker place. Accept the support that is offered. Accept that you are worthy of support, and that you will not always need it, but that there is no shame in accepting it when you do.

yeah reading over it again i can totally see that he is trying really hard to help but at the time its like he's totally kicking me when i'm down and saying that there is no reason for this and no reason for me to be doing so badly in school and if i actually try i can change it which is NOT true. but yeah i know he was trying to encourage me, not slash me down, and find out how best to help

i agree. it doesn't seem like he wants to hurt you, but to help. he probably just doesn't know how to do it right.
