I'm in my final year of high school, applying to colleges, and the pressure is insane. Everyone in my class seems to be using some form of assignment help—tutors, online services, AI tools. My friends talk about it openly like it's no big deal. I've never used anything like that, but I'm starting to feel like I'm at a disadvantage. If everyone else is getting help and I'm doing everything myself, am I going to fall behind? My parents can't afford private tutors. I don't know what to do. Is this just what school is now? Should I figure out how to use these tools, or is that cheating? I'm so confused and stressed.
