A 16-year-old senior high school girl finds herself becoming more and more disappointing and doesn't want to live anymore. By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

My first 13 years were smooth sailing, I got excellent grades and was lively and cheerful. But I didn't get into a key city high school in the entrance exam, and my family spent 30,000 yuan to let me study there as a loan student, but my grades have never been good.

I have let them down many times. I like to play, I don't pay attention, and I'm not particularly smart... During this time in my second year of high school, I stayed at my aunt's house. She caught me using my phone a few times, and I was taken back home by my family a few times, and I promised a few times. But I still played secretly, and then yesterday in class, I was caught reading a novel by my homeroom teacher, and I was suspended for three days.

I have actually been thinking about my life a lot during this period of time, and reading novels is actually a way to escape, and it is limited to Chinese class, because I only have excellent grades in Chinese.

It started probably when I was in the third year of high school, when my parents didn't understand, and my teacher was crazy (our homeroom teacher, all the students he's taught think he's a bit crazy, but their parents think he's great, in fact, he says one thing to your face but another behind your back, and he also discriminates against girls). I've always been an outgoing person, I have a lot of friends, but whenever something happens, it seems like I'm the only one who can talk about it, so I stopped talking about it, and just helped other people solve their problems. Every day I feel really happy watching it, but actually I'm sad every day, sometimes I don't know why, I just want to cry.

Hello, question asker!

You have the right to exist! You are unique and valuable. You are you, and you are amazing!

If you don't do well in the entrance exam, your family can pay for you to study at a boarding school. This is a great option if your family can afford it! It's also their responsibility as parents. If they have some specific ideas about how you should study just because they are paying for it, it's probably because they are anxious themselves and could use a reminder that you are also a person with your own thoughts and needs. You also need to take a mental holiday and have some proper leisure time!

In your second year of high school, you also thought about your life and felt yourself. And that's a great thing! Each of us has an ego and thinks about ourselves.

In your second year of high school, you also thought about your life and felt yourself. Each of us has an ego and thinks about ourselves, and that's a good thing!

You are playful, not attentive, and not smart. And that's totally okay! Your parents' expectations may sometimes feel overwhelming, but you have this amazing capacity to want to be what they want and not disappoint them. It's great that you have this heart!

But having the heart to do so does not mean you can do it. Not everyone can be what their parents expect — and that's okay!

Parents' expectations of you should be based on your true conditions and determined according to your real situation. I believe you have tried hard and are always trying hard, which is great!

The opinions of others about you may put a lot of pressure on you, and their negativity and accusations may make you feel uneasy. But don't let that stop you! Such accusations and criticisms may not motivate you, but they certainly won't stop you from reaching your full potential.

In school and family education, some children are not sensitive to criticism and blame. This is totally normal! Appropriate pressure can promote learning. Some children reject blame and criticism, and are prone to confrontation and self-negation. This is something you can work on! Such negative influences make you feel negative emotions and become a psychological obstacle. But you can overcome this!

You also want to do well in school, and you know you can! Learning is an amazing intellectual activity, and everyone's intellectual development is different.

Some people are great at exams, some are fantastic at socializing, some are brilliant at planning and doing business, and some are amazing at operating skills!

It's totally okay if you don't learn what your parents expect! Everyone has their own path in life, and studying is just one way to live your best life.

You can absolutely live up to your parents' and your own expectations! Just try your best, and you'll be able to do it.

Every child hopes to receive the understanding and support of their parents. And it's so important that they do! This support and understanding is a strength that children can call upon when they encounter difficulties.

Not being recognized and understood by parents and teachers can make you feel uneasy and aggrieved. But you know best whether your teachers are kind to you!

You are the one who knows best whether your teachers are kind to you. You cannot find understanding and support from your peers, and you are the one comforting others, not the other way around.

You know what else? You know what else only you know? The pain in your heart! And crying is also a way to release your emotions!

There are so many people in the world, and you are not alone!

You also have us, the mental health professionals, to support and understand you. We are here for you! Although we are strangers, we hope that our words can bring you comfort and strength, so that you feel the world has not abandoned you.

Let's talk about life!

You were born at just the right time! Your parents must have been overjoyed. They're facing some challenges in the social reality, and they've passed this on to you.

You are just a child, you have your limitations, and you are not Superman. But here's the good news: if your parents face these academic pressures and difficulties together with you, you will feel more at ease!

Now they just ask you to do something without actually knowing how you are doing. You have the chance to face and bear this pressure alone, which is very exciting!

Putting aside the pressure of studying, I believe that in the face of life and marks, parents will definitely choose your life without hesitation. Your life is the most important thing to them. You should definitely take the opportunity to talk to them about your distress, your loneliness, and cry in front of them, so that they can understand how sad you are.

Present your true self to them, and they'll love you for it! The more real you are, the more you'll be able to tell who your true friends are.

And the best part is, the more you act happy, the less they think you will suffer, and the less they think you should suffer!

You know what? Being true to yourself and letting others see your true self may actually get you what you want!

Everyone is weak at times, and that's totally okay!

Your parents love you and will never abandon you. They're just going through a rough patch and are putting their anxieties and stress on you alone.

They may mistakenly think that you can handle it, and you can!

Talk to them more and tell them what's on your mind! If they don't understand, come here and pour out your heart. Let yourself become empowered and get close to those who can give you comfort. You don't need a lot of good friends—just one or two is enough! Take care of yourself first. When others ignore you, you can't ignore yourself.

Love yourself more, comfort yourself more, follow your own path, and live for yourself! You can do it!

Aeneas Davis Speak the truth, but leave immediately after.

I can totally relate to feeling like you're letting everyone down. It's tough when things don't go as planned, but maybe this is a moment to find a new path that fits you better.

Antonio Anderson The art of life is to know how to enjoy a little and to endure much.

It sounds like you've been carrying a lot of pressure and sadness inside. Sometimes it helps to talk to someone who can really listen without judgment. Have you considered seeking support from a counselor or a trusted friend?

Shannon Miller Life is a dance of light and dark, find the balance.

Life throws curveballs at us, and it seems like you've faced more than your share. It's okay not to be perfect all the time. Perhaps now is the time to explore what truly makes you happy and pursue that with passion.

Avalon Davis Learning is a commitment to improvement.

Being suspended must feel awful, but it could also be an opportunity to reflect on what you want for yourself. Maybe use this time to reconnect with yourself and think about how you can move forward in a way that feels right to you.

Your Chinese grades show that you have talent and potential. It might help to channel that strength into other areas. Consider talking to teachers or mentors who can guide you on how to build on your strengths.
