In the second year of junior high school, his grades dropped, he gave up, and he fell into a vicious cycle of getting lower and lower. By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

Since I entered the second year of junior high school, my grades have dropped. Everyone I once looked down on is now ahead of me. I think it's all my fault, and I feel so guilty. I tried hard in the first half of the year, but my grades just kept dropping. I've suffered repeated setbacks, and I'm numb now. I'm used to it. I'm so full of self-loathing that I've lost all courage. I've given up on myself. I don't pay attention in class, and I don't want to do my homework. I used to study hard, but now I don't even study a single lesson, and I don't do any of the exercises.

Not to mention surpassing them, even if I occasionally want to study hard, I can't get into it because I've given up on myself for too long. I'm in a lot of pain right now, and I don't know what I want to do anymore. If I'm expected to improve and study, I don't even have the courage; if I'm expected to continue sinking, I'm an extremely introverted and closed-off person myself. Emotionally, I'm realistic and rational (I don't have much of a need for social interaction), so online music, second-dimensional characters, etc. are essentially not of interest to me. If I were to put them into reality, I couldn't balance them.

Recently, I have also tried listening to music, which is negative and gloomy. It makes me feel even worse and I even want to die.

My parents are covertly patriarchal. We have an elderly person with a cerebral infarction at home who makes the house dirty and smelly and is particularly stubborn and backward. My mother forces me to tolerate it. No one in the family understands me.

I no longer have the strength or courage to heal myself. What should I do?

Hello, I am Li Di☀, and I am grateful for this opportunity to connect with you.

You describe yourself as being trapped in a vicious cycle and becoming more and more depressed. This makes me think about you in this way, and I hope we can discuss it further.

I believe my current state may be influenced by long-term feelings of frustration and a lack of recognition. Since childhood, I have studied very hard, hoping to gain the recognition and appreciation of my parents, but it seems that I can never fully meet their expectations.

This constant sense of failure has made me doubt my abilities and also lose my interest in learning. I know I need to change, but I just can't find the trigger that will give me the motivation to get back on my feet.

I also recognize that my emotions may have been influenced by my family environment, particularly the circumstances of the elderly in my family and my mother's approach. I feel like I'm caught in a cycle. On the one hand, I want to find a way out, but on the other hand, I feel a sense of responsibility to take care of them. This internal conflict leaves me feeling drained.

I attempted to express my discontent and frustration by listening to music that I found negative, but it only served to intensify my feelings.

I've come to understand that I need to find a way to release these emotions and rebuild a sense of self-worth and motivation. I need to find an outlet so that I am no longer consumed by these negative emotions.

How might I possibly break this cycle and find a way forward again?

I can sense the challenges you're facing in this moment. I'm here to offer a hug if you'd like. I'm not sure if my thoughts fully align with yours, but I do understand your confusion and your desire to change. Your feelings are important to me, and I'm committed to understanding and responding to your inner needs. I hope this is helpful.

From what you have shared, it seems that there may be some unmet psychological needs at play, such as the desire for recognition, self-worth, and a sense of control. It is possible that these needs were not fully met during your growth process, which could have contributed to the current sense of frustration and powerlessness.

It is only natural to want to be recognized for your efforts, especially by your parents. However, when these efforts do not receive the expected feedback, it can be challenging to maintain a sense of self-worth and abilities. In such situations, it is not uncommon to feel trapped in a cycle, wanting to escape but feeling bound by a sense of responsibility. This can lead to inner conflict and exhaustion.

If I might suggest, perhaps we could try the following steps to break this cycle.

Self-acceptance: It can be helpful to recognize that everyone has their own limitations and imperfections, and to accept yourself as you are, rather than constantly criticizing yourself. Self-acceptance can be a first step towards change.

It can be helpful to focus on your own internal motivation to learn, rather than seeking external recognition. You might try to discover the joy of learning itself, or set personal goals for yourself. This can help you find the strength to move forward, even if external recognition is lacking.

It may be helpful to find safe ways to express your emotions, such as keeping a diary, drawing, or talking to someone you trust. These methods can help you understand and deal with your feelings in a healthy way.

It may be helpful to gradually build a sense of self-worth by taking part in small things you can control, such as developing a new hobby or habit. Celebrating even the smallest progress can be beneficial.

It can be helpful to set boundaries and understand your limits. This is not selfishness, but a way to protect yourself, which can help you reduce unnecessary stress.

It can be helpful to seek external support from friends, teachers, or professionals when needed. They can provide different perspectives and assistance that might be beneficial.

Mindfulness meditation can be a helpful practice for staying calm under pressure, improving emotional awareness, and better managing and adjusting emotional responses.

It can be a courageous decision to seek professional help when emotions become overwhelming. A mental health professional can provide expert guidance and support, which can be beneficial in managing and adjusting emotional responses.

You have already demonstrated considerable courage by being willing to confront your circumstances and pursue a change. This is a commendable first step.

Please remember that change is a process that takes time and patience. Be kind to yourself during this process, and every step, even the smallest progress, is worth celebrating.

Your feelings are valuable, your needs are important, and you are not alone. I hope you can find a path that suits you, gradually work your way out of your predicament, and find your own light.

I hope my answer is helpful. Please remember that you are a unique individual with inherent worth and the right to enjoy the good things in life.

Hello! I'm a heart exploration coach, and I'm here to tell you that life is an amazing journey! It's not just about appreciation, but about blossoming and growing.

You feel the desolation and confusion within you, but don't worry! You can conquer these feelings by building up your confidence and motivation. You might feel like giving up, but remember, you're stronger than you think. Things might seem to be going against you, but you have the power to change your mindset. Let's take a look at what's going on:

?1. Why is the second year of junior high school such an incredible turning point?

Now, let's dive into the exciting world of learning! Primary school is all about building good habits and laying a solid foundation.

The real academic competition starts in junior high school, and it is especially beneficial to develop the habit of independent learning! Plan ahead, take notes carefully, listen to lectures with thinking, summarize and review in time, identify doubts, difficulties and key points...

This is your chance to find a learning method that suits you and then calmly cope with all your schoolwork. The first year of junior high school is not very difficult, but in the second year, you get to add physics and there is also the local college entrance exam. In particular, the second semester sees a relative increase in the difficulty of mathematics, English, and physics, which will really test your abilities!

So if you're not careful, you might find yourself facing a "cliff-like" watershed: boys lagging behind in English, and girls lagging behind in math and physics. But don't worry! There's plenty you can do to turn this around.

The good news is that academic studies are still within reach! With extra help outside of class and during the summer vacation, you can achieve a comeback. The movies "My Sassy Girl" and "The Harvard Girl" are real-life examples of what you can do!

Second, it mainly depends on the exciting psychological needs of adolescents. Self-exploration is the biggest, most important life issue at your age: who you are, how you are different from others, and what you can do and become.

You're absolutely right! Emotions like self-abandonment and low self-esteem seem to be caused by pressure in school, but they're actually a search for self-identity. Sometimes you evaluate yourself as not bad, and sometimes you're full of self-doubt.

As the body changes, so does the mind! If at this time there is a lack of affirmation and recognition from teachers and parents, it will lead to even more confusion and distress. But don't worry! There are plenty of ways to get the recognition and affirmation you need.

You are not alone! Many other adolescents are dealing with similar issues. "Who isn't confused during their youth?"

2. How to achieve a change in your state of mind

First, make an effective adjustment in your mentality. Re-establish your perception of yourself. Your self-confidence does not come from academic performance, because there is no such thing as a "constant winner." But you can be a winner in other ways!

A good grade, praise from a teacher, or the approval of your parents can really help boost your self-confidence! But when these external factors are gone, you can easily fall back into self-doubt and self-negation.

True self-confidence means having confidence in yourself as a person, and therefore also in the future. I may not be top of the class, but I work hard and have a strong sense of motivation. I may be temporarily lost and confused, but I have the spirit of never giving up, and I'm excited to see what the future holds!

As for studies, you are in a great position right now! You can find a classmate to give you extra tuition, you can sign up for a tutorial class, and you can make a plan for the summer vacation and take the plunge and "burn your boats"!

And don't forget to talk about your feelings! It's so important to let it all out. You can talk to a good friend, keep a mood diary, or even chat with a school teacher. It's a great way to relieve stress and find some much-needed healing.

You can even write your worries or troubles on paper and fold them into boats or airplanes! Take your worries and let them go completely.

After all, these situations are just temporary and everyone goes through them! This life experience will be of great benefit to your future growth.

If you have time, you've got to read Lifelong Growth! "Plum blossoms smell fragrant from the bitter cold." There's no such thing as casual success, and there are no shortcuts to success. But there are definitely methods!

I really hope the above is helpful to you! And I love you, and I love the world too!

If you want to continue the exchange, I'd love for you to follow my personal homepage, "Heart Exploration Service"!

Hello, question asker! I'm Jiang 61.

First of all, thank you for trusting us and for being willing to tell us about your confusion many times in order to get answers. You say, "In the second year of junior high school, my grades dropped, I gave up on myself, and I got caught in a vicious cycle of getting lower and lower." I know your troubles. Let's discuss them together.

1. Introduction

1️⃣, Grades have dropped

You say, "Since being promoted to the second year of junior high, my grades have dropped. People who I didn't think were a problem have now gone ahead of me. I'm to blame. I tried hard in the first half of the year, but my grades just kept dropping."

There's been a decline in your grades.

You don't know why, but you are a girl, and after the second year of junior high school, your academic performance has declined. This is a phenomenon that many girls experience at this stage.

You feel guilty.

It turns out that someone else was worse than you, and now they are ahead of you. You have tried hard, but the results are not significant. You feel a little remorseful and guilty, and you think it is your responsibility. But it's not. Hug you, to be honest, it is not entirely your responsibility.

2. Giving up on yourself

I am self-abandoning myself.

You said, "As a result, I have suffered repeated setbacks, and I am now numb, used to it, and too self-deprecating to have the courage. I have given up on myself. I don't even listen in class, and I don't want to write my homework. I used to memorize well, but now I don't memorize a single lesson, and I don't do the exercises either. Not only can't I surpass them, I can't even concentrate on studying occasionally, because I have given up on myself for too long."

You can't see the results of your efforts. You've been repeatedly beaten, and you've become numb, inferior, and self-abandoning. As a result, you don't attend classes, do your homework, memorize, or do exercises, and you can hardly learn.

You've reached a learning bottleneck.

I am in pain.

You said, "I am in great pain now, and I don't know what I want to do anymore. I don't even have the courage to make progress and learn; I'm going to continue sinking."

You are aware of how uncomfortable it is for you to describe all this. You want to learn and improve, but you haven't found a way to do it. You lack the courage to persevere, and you are starting to sink.

Personality and Hobbies

You said, "I am an extremely introverted and closed-off person. Emotionally, I am realistic and rational (I have no social needs), so online music, second-dimensional characters, and so on are essentially not of interest to me. If I were to put them in reality, I would be unable to balance them. Recently, I have also tried listening to music, but it is negative and gloomy, and it makes my heart feel even more difficult. I even want to die."

You are an introvert and not good at expressing your feelings. You have thoughts in your mind that no one can talk to you about. Let us relieve your study pressure and help you overcome difficult times.

You don't like music. The kind of music you've been listening to recently is negative and dark. This has exacerbated your bad mood and even made you think about death.

Family environment

You say, "My parents are covertly patriarchal. We have an elderly person in the family who has had a stroke, and he makes the house dirty and smelly. He is also particularly stubborn and backward. My mother forces me to tolerate him. No one in the family understands me."

Your parents favor boys over girls. You are a girl and have encountered difficulties in your studies, so you do not receive the attention of your parents. The elderly in the family have fallen seriously ill, so the family environment is particularly poor, which more or less affects your mood. Your mother does not understand you and advises you to be tolerant.

3. The Problem

You say, "I'm not going to let my lack of strength or courage stop me from healing myself. What should I do?"

You are unable to change your current situation due to external factors and a lack of internal motivation. This has led to feelings of disappointment and a lack of courage to heal yourself. You are therefore asking for guidance on how to move forward.

2. Analysis of the dilemma

1. Learning dilemma

I am in a dilemma.

A dilemma is a difficult situation that has reached a difficult point. It refers to both material difficulties and psychological dilemmas, which are states experienced when a person is faced with an inescapable difficult environment.

Learning difficulties

The questioner is now facing a learning dilemma. They have tried hard but have not achieved the desired results. They need to improve their academic performance. They are distressed about this. At present, the questioner lacks both external tutoring resources and internal motivation and self-motivation to learn.

We are in a dilemma.

2. The reasons for declining grades

Academic performance

Academic performance is the degree to which a student has mastered the knowledge they have learned during the learning process. It encompasses the student's ability to understand, retain knowledge, pay attention in class, be diligent, and prepare for exams.

There has been a decline in grades.

What we see is good or bad academic performance, but in fact, it implies our current knowledge, understanding, and flexible use of the situation.

The questioner said they don't pay attention in class or do their homework. It's clear they're already having trouble understanding what they're learning, which will undoubtedly lead to lower grades. This will undoubtedly affect their interest in learning and confidence in learning.

3️⃣, Learning Methods It is essential to understand the importance of learning methods.

Learning Methods

Learning methods are the fastest way to master knowledge. They vary according to individual physiological characteristics, conditions, learning stages, and environments.

Learning methods include reciting, writing from memory, shorthand, taking notes, etc. They also include summarizing, generalizing, organizing, and establishing knowledge systems. At a young age, methods such as memorization and repetition are more applicable. After junior high school, however, methods such as understanding, generalizing, summarizing, and deduction are more effective for learning.

Understand.

From the questioner's introduction, it is clear that the questioner is accustomed to learning through the traditional method of memorization and rote learning. When confronted with new learning content that demands independent analysis, understanding, and critical thinking, it is inevitable that there will be some confusion and discomfort. This is a natural consequence of the shift in learning style. Girls, in particular, excel in these traditional learning methods.

Here's what you need to do.

1. Pay attention to the method.

Pay attention to the method.

The reason for the decline in grades in junior high school is that our current learning methods are not adapted to the current learning content. We must adapt our learning methods to improve our academic performance.

Enhance your learning ability.

Learning ability is the psychological characteristic that enables an individual to engage in learning activities. It is a combination of various abilities that contribute to the successful completion of learning activities.

Learning abilities include perceptual observation, memory, reading, comprehension, and problem-solving skills. These abilities work together to enable the student to effectively acquire, understand, remember, and apply the knowledge they learn.

The questioner can and should rely on their good memory and use their strengths to memorize things that require rote memorization. This will ensure that they don't lose their grades in the memorization section.

You can improve a method of learning that you're not good at through deliberate training. For example, you can learn to grasp the key points of the content, analyze the content, think about solutions, and flexibly apply problem-solving methods.

This will greatly improve our achievements.

Mobilize internal resources.

Intrinsic motivation is key.

Internal motivation is the driving force behind doing things that comes from an internal desire or need. It is a force for improving one's abilities. This motivation is related to experience, can be enjoyable in itself, and the starting point is related to oneself.

Mobilize internal resources.

The questioner can identify the subject's interest points, tap into their internal resources to boost motivation, or celebrate their achievements to motivate themselves, instill hope, and inspire them to excel. This enhances their internal motivation to learn the subject.

Seek external resources.

Use external resources.

External resources are people or things other than yourself that can help you improve your knowledge and abilities. These include teachers, classmates, and educational institutions.

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness.

There is no shame in asking. We should seek help from external resources to solve our problems in learning and cognition. We can ask teachers, classmates, and study together to answer our learning confusion, master the corresponding knowledge, and improve our grades.

Question owner, now that we understand the main problems affecting your grades, you can find corresponding solutions. Increasing internal motivation and seeking external resources are good methods, but there are actually other methods that require you to explore on your own. You need to improve your ability, establish a learning method that suits you, and build up your confidence. Our grades will gradually improve as we believe in our abilities.

I wish the questioner all the best for a happy and progressive study.

The question is well-formulated.

I am fully cognizant of the predicament that arises when academic performance declines and self-doubt emerges during the second year of junior high school.

For this reason, we present some considerations for your consideration.

This can be understood in terms of psychological burnout, as evidenced by the following statement: "Everyone I didn't care about before has gone ahead of me, and I think it's all my fault; I feel so guilty."

The term "academic burnout" is used to describe a state of feeling tired, bored, and losing interest in schoolwork, which is a common emotional experience in the learning process.

As the original poster described, there was a decline in grades despite a concerted effort during the first half of the year. There was also a lack of attention in class and a reluctance to complete homework assignments. Additionally, there were instances when the desire to study was present, yet the ability to concentrate was lacking. These observations align with the characteristics of academic burnout.

The onset of academic burnout may be precipitated by a confluence of factors, including temporary setbacks, the advent of a more demanding academic curriculum in the second year of junior high school, a deficiency in motivation, or a lack of engagement with the subject matter.

Furthermore, the second year of adolescence represents a critical period of physical growth and development.

The physical changes associated with puberty can give rise to emotional distress and instability.

Adolescents lack the psychological resilience to cope with setbacks, leading to a tendency towards excessive emotional distress, irritability, anxiety, and self-abandonment.

From the perspective of growth alone, it is a normal phenomenon in the growth process to occasionally encounter difficulties such as uncertainty about one's future direction and self-doubt that impedes one's ability to pursue their goals.

To alter the prevailing passive scenario of declining grades, a tendency to abandon one's studies, and the formation of a self-defeating cycle of academic decline.

Firstly, it is essential to establish the aforementioned cognitive foundation, which will then enable the full perception, understanding and recognition of negative emotions.

To address this emotion, it is recommended to utilize one's acute awareness to meticulously engage with it, observe it, and comprehend it, as opposed to rejecting, avoiding, or disdaining it.

The initial step towards positive change is to achieve a comprehensive understanding and acceptance of the situation.

Secondly, it is crucial to establish transparent learning objectives within the academic setting.

For example, it is important to consider whether learning goals are clearly defined based on the individual's actual situation during the crucial learning period of the second year of junior high school.

Rather than being entirely contingent upon a transient evaluation of performance relative to others.

It is similarly advised that students divide their objectives into attainable sub-goals, such as "comprehension of the entire class curriculum, completion of the current day's assigned tasks, and reading of the day's assigned material."

One may establish a system of incentives to motivate oneself to achieve these incremental objectives. These incentives may take the form of recreational activities or other interests.

This will enhance motivation and improve learning motivation.

Additionally, it is advisable to identify areas of interest within the subject matter. Participation in extracurricular activities related to the content of one's studies or the pursuit of novel learning methodologies may enhance the appeal of the learning process.

It is similarly advised that the subject learn to engage in active discourse. As with seeking assistance on the aforementioned platform, it is imperative not to withhold one's concerns.

Furthermore, it is recommended that students actively engage with the responses provided by teachers on the learning platform. This can be done by seeking advice from teachers, classmates, or family members. Their guidance and support may assist students in overcoming academic burnout.

In the event that this passive situation persists over time, it is nevertheless advised that the individual, with the backing of their parents, pursue the assistance of a professional counselor.

Such professionals are able to provide more specialized and tailored assistance.

It is my hope that the aforementioned information will prove to be of some assistance to you.

Hello, question asker! After reading your question, I want to give you a big, warm hug from afar!

I can feel your confusion and unease right now. It's like walking in a thick fog, not knowing where the path ahead lies. But, my dear, this is the second year of junior high school, a new and exciting phase in your life!

The pressure to learn is increasing day by day, and the family environment also brings a lot of trouble. But you can do it! These burdens seem to be crushing you, but you can conquer them!

You mentioned that you have begun to give up on yourself, that you don't pay attention in class, don't want to do your homework, and even the learning you once loved has become boring. I understand this feeling, and I'm here to tell you that it's going to be okay! When you work hard but don't see obvious progress, disappointment and frustration will come flooding in. But you know what? That's okay, too!

But, my dear, you must know that this temporary stagnation does not mean failure, but rather a process of accumulating strength. Just as the earth needs to experience the cold winter before spring arrives, your current predicament is also only temporary, and the future is still full of hope!

?

I am also deeply saddened by your internal inferiority and closed-off attitude. You feel that you cannot surpass others, and that you can hardly even reach your previous level. But I am excited to help you change that!

But remember, everyone has their own amazing growth trajectory! There's absolutely no need to compare yourself to others. Your value is not defined by your achievements or the opinions of others, but by your own heart and actions.

Embrace your imperfections, celebrate your growth, and watch your sparkle shine!

Family troubles also present an opportunity for growth. Your parents' prejudices, your elderly relatives' illnesses, and your family's various problems all offer a chance to learn and evolve.

I totally get this feeling of helplessness and hopelessness. Your family environment has a huge impact on your growth. But here's the good news: you can choose how to face and deal with these problems!

You can do this! Try communicating with your family to express your thoughts and feelings, or seek outside help and support. You will find that there are always more ways to solve a problem than there are problems themselves.

You feel like you've lost the strength and courage to heal yourself, and I totally get it. But my dear, you must know that inner strength can be cultivated again!

Give yourself some time and space, allow yourself to be vulnerable and insecure, but most importantly, believe in your ability to get back on your feet! You can try some self-healing methods, such as meditation, keeping a diary, or participating in some psychological counseling activities, which will all help you regain inner peace and strength.

?‍♀️

You mentioned that you have been listening to some negative music recently, which has made you feel even more down. I understand that music has a great influence on people's emotions, but now you get to choose some more positive and inspiring music to accompany you through this difficult time!

Immerse yourself in melodies that are full of hope and strength, and you'll be amazed at how your mood will brighten up!

My dear, I know you are experiencing unprecedented difficulties and challenges, but I know you can get through this! You have enough wisdom and courage to face all this. As long as you are willing to try and work hard, you will definitely be able to get out of this predicament and find your own bright future!

I will always be right here, cheering you on and encouraging you until you're smiling again and feeling confident!

I totally get it. It's tough when you feel isolated, like no one gets what you're going through.

But remember, there will always be someone who is ready and willing to listen to your story and be there for you through the tough times. Open up and share your confusion and struggles with friends and family. They may just surprise you with their support and help!

?

And don't forget to take care of your amazing body and mind! While you're working hard to make those amazing academic strides, don't neglect your physical and mental health.

Guess what! You can easily improve your stress and challenge coping skills by maintaining good rest and exercise habits and participating in some sports activities as appropriate.

You may feel confused and helpless about the future, but remember: the future is full of infinite possibilities!

You can absolutely plan your future goals, whether it is academic progress or personal development, and you can absolutely work towards these goals! Believe in your ability to achieve these goals, as long as you forge ahead and work hard without giving up.

?

And finally, I want to say that no matter how many difficulties and challenges you are facing, please always maintain a positive attitude! Because difficulties are only temporary. As long as you face them bravely and solve them actively, a better tomorrow will always come!

Believe in yourself and the future, and you will absolutely be able to get out of this predicament and create your own brilliant life!

Topic Master, you're amazing! The world and I love you! ?

Good day.

From reading your description, I can appreciate how you feel.

In your description, you wrote that your parents are patriarchal, that there is an elderly person with a cerebral infarction at home who makes the house dirty and smelly and is particularly stubborn and backward, and that your mother forces you to tolerate it. It seems that you feel misunderstood by your family. As a girl, you may have a personal understanding of the current patriarchal behavior.

It is also possible that some of the older people's behavior may inadvertently lead you to associate it with the idea of son preference. At this time, what is being tested is your personal perception and understanding, because the current environment is challenging to change, and it is mainly due to your own abilities or strengths.

In addition, your mother encouraged you to be tolerant. While her approach may have been misguided, the virtue she sought to instill in you is commendable. It is important to recognize that your future achievements will be as significant as your capacity for tolerance. To achieve this, it is essential to employ an effective method. As the saying goes, tolerance is a virtue.

It's understandable that your family might not fully understand your situation. After all, different generations have different perspectives on education. What you're experiencing now is something they once envied the most.

Secondly, in your description, you wrote that since entering the second year of junior high school, your academic performance has declined. You feel that you have fallen behind others whom you previously looked down on. You believe that you are responsible for this and feel guilty. You tried hard in the first half of the year, but your grades did not improve. As a result, you have suffered repeated setbacks and feel numb and used to it. You have lost all courage and feel full of self-doubt. You have given up on yourself. You do not pay attention in class and do not want to do your homework. You used to study hard, but now you do not study at all and do not do your homework either.

"Your grades dropped at the beginning of the second semester, which may indicate that something has affected you internally. As for the effort you mentioned, that is also a concern. While there is a theory in society that "all roads lead to Rome," the immediate situation may deviate from the expected behavior. As long as you reverse the deviation, you will eventually return to the original point. However, learning is different. Learning itself has its own methods and approaches, and you may need to find your own way to learn effectively.

In your description, you wrote that you have experienced repeated setbacks and have become numb to them. It seems that you have lost the courage to keep trying. You have given up on yourself, and as a result, you are no longer listening in class, writing homework, or even trying to memorize lessons. You have also stopped doing the exercises. When you do try to study, you find it difficult to get into it. This is likely because you have been giving up on yourself for too long.

I am currently experiencing a great deal of pain, and I am unsure of my future direction. I lack the courage to make progress and study, which is preventing me from moving forward. I am an introverted person who is closed off emotionally, and I have no social needs. This makes online music, second yuan, and other similar activities essentially uninteresting to me. I find it challenging to balance my reality with my emotional needs. Recently, I have also tried listening to music, which is primarily negative and dark songs. Listening to this type of music has made my heart feel even more difficult to navigate, and I have even considered ending my life.

This description contains more of your negative emotions and thoughts, which may not be the most helpful in the long run. It seems that you have already clouded your mind with the outcome of failure regarding the result in front of you, and you may also have lost the motivation to work hard. Negative emotions can spread easily, just as the saying goes, "It's easy to learn bad habits, but hard to learn good ones." You want to study hard, but you may not have the motivation and goals you need to do so. At this time, it may be more comfortable to just give up.

If I might offer some advice,

1. Consider adjusting your mindset. It may be helpful to focus on finding the joy of learning, although your current circumstances have likely led you to consider a range of perspectives. One individual who has faced similar challenges and found ways to adapt is Su Mingyu in "All Is Well." Her experiences might offer insights worth exploring.

2. Motivation and drive. Motivation mainly stems from one's inner goals and the results one aspires to achieve, while drive is about taking the first step. It's like exercising: one could have run 10,000 meters, but without regular exercise, one may only be able to run 100 meters in the future.

I believe the same could be said of learning. It might be the case that if you give up now, it will become increasingly challenging to catch up.

3. Learning is about methods and interests. It is my hope that you will find joy in your learning. With your motivation and action, coupled with the tolerance your mother has given you, your future is promising.

Aldous Davis Life is a journey through different landscapes.

I can relate to feeling overwhelmed and lost, especially when it feels like everything is going downhill. It's important to remember that your value isn't tied to your grades. Maybe it's time to take a step back and focus on what you need for yourself right now, even if it's just small steps towards selfcare.

Hadassah Thomas The true test of a man's character is what he does when no one is watching and whether he can pick himself up after a failure.

It sounds like you're carrying a lot of weight on your shoulders. Sometimes we need to let go of the pressure to perform and allow ourselves to heal. Reaching out for help, whether it's talking to a trusted friend or seeking professional support, might be a good place to start. You deserve to have someone listen to you without judgment.

David Miller The more one's knowledge encompasses different areas, the more they can enrich the intellectual discourse.

Feeling guilty and blaming yourself can be incredibly draining. Try to shift your perspective and see this as a phase in your life, not a permanent state. There are people who care about you and want to see you thrive. Perhaps opening up to someone who understands could provide some relief and guidance.

Spencer Anderson The truth may be painful, but it is always better than a lie.

The situation at home must be really tough. It's understandable that you feel isolated and unheard. It might help to find a safe space where you can express your feelings freely. Whether it's through writing, art, or talking to a counselor, finding an outlet for your emotions can be therapeutic and help you regain some control over your mental health.

Charlene Jackson Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

I'm sorry you're feeling this way, but I can't ignore the fact that you mentioned wanting to die. If you're having thoughts of harming yourself, it's crucial to talk to someone who can offer immediate support. A mental health professional or a crisis hotline can provide the assistance you need during these difficult times.
