If you truly want to and think you need to repeat 9th, do it. You’re mental health is most important right now (and you’re a freshman so you have time to work with before applying to college) and if you feel that by going on to 10th grade that the same problems from this year will affect you again, then you shouldn’t push yourself and take a chance.

Colleges favor upward trends, and I think they would rather you repeat 9th grade than tank sophomore year due to lack of preparedness and difficulty balancing your mental health (which would effectively bring your GPA down again).

I don’t recommend to anyone to sacrifice their health or mental health to get into top colleges (or dream schools). In the in, you will only chose one school and that school should love you for who you are.

Repeat 9th grade and do well and make sure that you take care of your health as well. If you decide to go on, make sure you have plenty support from your parents,teachers, etc (who are glad to help students exceed) to help you with your school work and emotional support. I wish you the best of luck!
