I failed all of high school, should I give up?
I recently read all about computer forensics and I am very interested in it! I failed all of high school because of my lack of social skills, severe depression and just because I had nothing to care for. I really want into this field. I am living on my own and home was the thing making me depressed - and I also am very good in social skills now so I have fixed all of my problems now and have embellished a lot of areas in my life. If I failed pre-algebra in high school as a senior, would it be too late to work on getting a degree in computer forensics or is it never too late? Would I just start out on a basic math class at a community college and work my way up - remedial math then pre-algebra then algebra? I don't want to think since I failed high school, I will never amount to anything, that feeling is like carrying unneeded bags of sand with me day by day.
Do you think I should give up school?
No, do not give up school. I know it is hard, but your daughter will understand what you went through when she gets older. Education is very important. I'm 24 and I'm a single mother. My son is 4. I've been going to school for nursing for the past 3 years now. I will be graduating next month. It gets to be very hard, but it will be worth it when you are able to give your daughter the best life possible. I'm sure you are a great mom because you haven't given up yet. Please continue your education. You will be the best role model for your daughter by doing so. Good luck and if you ever need someone to talk to, you can e-mail me anytime...Seaofclouds21@yahoo.com --Stacey
I want to give up on nursing school...?
I'm a junior in college who will get an Associates in Arts/Sciences in Pre nursing - also my transfer degree. I've been in school straight since i've graduated high school. Every quarter i've been in school. The older i'm getting, the more frustrating and lazy i am. I volunteer, a nursing assistant, i have the experience and "knowledge" outside of the classroom. I come from a family of doctors and nurses. I'm not saying i'm smarter and better but coming from this background, i feel familiar and comfrotable in the nursing environment. I was pretty much told that i was "too young" and not mature to be in nursing school right now and to take my time. I feel that all my hard work the past three years meant nothing. I worked hard these past years because my goal was to get in. I don't wanna rush, i just want to get to my goal. What else am i gonna do? I've done everything, every class for nursing...the problem is i'm just "too young"... What am i gonna do?
Would it be easier just to give up on school, or what?
I have a different Answer than Levi, I dropped out of uni, 18 months through a 4 year degree (Forestry) with about 5 minutes notice. I was in a lecture and they were talking about differences in timber that can be gained from a tree if it is leaning, I went ‘I really don’t care about this’ walked to the science faculty and withdrew, walked back to college, withdrew, packed my room up and moved cities that night, to Sydney from Canberra.I then spent 18 months working in Sydney, enjoying myself and then returned to university and completed a Science degree. (I have now completed 3 degrees and am onto my 4th now).To me that ‘break’ from uni was worth it, and made me a better student afterwards, and I am glad for that time, other people I know quit at about the same time as me and never went back to uni. Really it depends on you.The other thing to keep in mind, is when study is hard and your friends are out partying or relaxing is that work makes the man, and that in the future when they are wondering why you have a better job than them - remember those times.
I've completely given up on school?
I'm a sophomore in high school and I've completely just given up on school. My grades are getting worse and worse no matter how much I try. Btw I'm not just stupid I'm a pretty good student just I can't keep up with all this. The worst part is both of my parents are doctors and they expect me to do some great profession but the thing is I really hate school. I hate reading. I have no passion for anything (don't wanna be a doctor, lawyer, engineer) I just can do all this. I honestly don't wanna go to college even though I know my chances of being successful will be limited. At school I'm constantly distracted by girls, friends, and having fun. I keep getting these huge crushes on girls and just completely lose focus on school. According to my friends and just other kids at school I'm "hilarious" and they would go see me if I was a comedian. I kinda wanna be an actor because I just love entertaining people. And for the fact that I don't really need to study in college. I haven't told my parents how I feel because I know they will most likely bring me down. My father just wants me to be a professional and go to Harvard or MIT and my mother claims to want me to be "happy" which is complete bs because she would never support what I really want to do. Sorry for getting kinda off topic but thing is I'm not going to drop out just I'm not trying anymore. I feel somewhat depressed and mostly confused someone please help me. I'm legit tearing up writing this. But I mean I've never had success with girls. Haven't had good grades since 7th grade. Help me before I **** up my life please and thanks to all on advance
Have you ever given up / want to give up?
What have you given up on in your life? Have you regretted doing so? Be it school, a job, a relationship, a dream, hope, love, marriage etc. I want to be a pharmacist. It's the only thing in my heart that I would really want to do. The school is ALL chemistry to get the Pharm degree. My problem is that while I got an A in chemistry when I was in high school, I'm failing it in college. The biggest issue that's causing me to fail is, and I'm not just blaming it on him, but my teacher. He's a foreigner and doesn't speak / teach in English well, but is a very nice man. Anyway, if I can't get past general chemistry, I might as well forget about being a pharmacist. I just want to give up. I know I shouldn't let anyone get in the way of my dreams and that I should just get a tutor, but I feel so down and just want to give up. Who else feels the same?
Help i feel like giving up on school?
No one is designed to be a failure, not even you! I have no idea why your dad is paying you to pass tests (seeming to support you) and then telling your mom that you won't get your GED (not supporting/believing in you), I can understand why you are feeling frustrated and feel like giving up. You have a lot on your plate right now, and it sounds like you don't have much support, encouragement, or compassion from either parent. Why your dad is behaving this way, I do not know. When you want to give up, please don't. Without your GED so many opportunities are wiped away from your future. You mentione wanting to go to college. Maybe you could try focusing on that to help motivate you to pass. If your mom won't help you with the math, ask someone in the GED program for suggestions on how you can get help with math. I admire you for wanting to get your GED and for realizing that your father's behavior is being radically inconsistant. Good for you, keep working at it and you WILL pass!
