I failed out of college and my parents do not know. As of right now they could care less for me because I have recently told them I was gay and had a boyfriend who makes me very happy. But I failed. I tried getting back into college but it’s a hopeless cause. It was a snowball effect that started one day when I rode my bike home from campus last April and I got hit by a car. I missed two weeks of school and this semester my knee was in constant pain even after having surgery. I’m tired of hurting and I failed out of college. I have no where to go and I don’t want to put my boyfriend in any more pain. He is awesome and deserves someone much better than me. My mom is a pill addict and my dad ignores it like it doesn’t exist. She tells me I’m worthless and a coward and a failure. I just don’t know what to do. I’ve thought about killing myself for sometime now and after finding out this news today. I might as well do it. It’ll be better for everyone I know.

Perhaps you’re being a bit hard on yourself. At 21, most problems can be fixed and reversed. If you only make a list of your deficits, you’re not helping yourself. Perhaps your college has walk-in counseling. Maybe your local Social Services agency can guide you. As for your boyfriend, clearly you bring something to the relationship or he wouldn’t be in it. Essentially, try not to be your worst enemy. I do that sometimes and I often realize, late in the game, that it didn’t help.
keep on bowling. hey, a strike out ain’t a bad thing in your lane. keep rollin em and you’re bound to get a good game
I’m not an expert on College, cause never been BUT if you got hit by a car and you needed surgery why didn’t the school understand that? You’re paying for your own education so why are they not helping?
……or did you just not try? I’m not being rude here. Just a question… I seem to be quite lazy on major things myself….
Also, why does it matter if your parents approve of you being gay? If mom is a pill head and dad doesn’t care enough to help her. Those are people you need to ignore:/…
You shouldn’t live your life trying to get approval from others. It’s your life… Why don’t you try finding a job around where you live? Having a sense of being “needed” might help you out in the end…
