Extremely Depressed due to exams

Postby mr1234 » Sat Feb 26, 2011 11:58 am

I am a student pursuing engineering studies. I'm extremely passionate about the course i have taken. I'm a sort of person who never got low marks in science/maths subjects in my school. i used to get good marks without even repeated study of those subjects. So, i was obviously interested in them.
I got distinction marks in 1st year, later in the second year i got 1subject failed, and again in second part of the year i got failed in 4subjects, making me ineligible to attend next year. i was 1 subject behind in making it into next year. I'm usually different from other pals of my class. i go upon understanding the subjects, but that as become useless in our university. I used to do projects when i'm free, which were not done any of my classmates. I'm truely depressed, i cant show up my face to my cousins.

Had great aims to reach, but the system didnt help me, lecturers were unenthusiastic to me, as i used to ask them more. I feel like leaving home at times.

I've not even seen the result of my reapplied papers of this worst education system of my country, where they have no status for talent in me ( They want me to mug like anyone else).

You're right, it's unfortunate that universities have become a place where they do business rather than serve education to the people. I can attest to this because I'm going through the exact same problem as you.

You seem like you're dedicated to what you're studying, so my question is: is there something outside of school that might be bothering you? As for your past failures, just remember that they're done and focus on what you can do NOW. It's easy to feel discouraged with poor results, but remember that it's not the end of the world and that you can always try again.

The town in which i staw is crowded, i keep hearing vehicle traffic noise now and then. My teachers suck, they wont help me in any manner, infact i did a project about few months ago, no one helped me in that. Infact, some of them discouraged that it would not work. The reason that i dont like teachers has made me feel bad towards studies.

Apart from that my family members are too good for others (but not for me), that has made me leave them. My mom's friends come here in gaggle and make discussion abt unwanted things and that too makes me distracted and annoyed. So i want to leave home. All these days i felt like not leaving them because i loved my mom, but now i need to leave for my well being.

Edit: Sometimes i feel like committing a suicide, i'm not sure of getting a right job just because what has happened to me.

If you plan to leave, can't you also find another school as well? Change of environment might be what you need right now.

Thats true. I think i'll be able to concentrate more, if i change my school. But the problem is the ppl in my current school is well known to me, actually frens of my relatives. Another thing that i'm scared off, whether if they trouble me with marks and attendance, after i change the school. Because the ppl in current school is highly influential in the university. And i dont have any other university to opt, because all the schools are affiliated to same university. ;(
