Feeling sorry for ones self never get anyone anywhere. You CAN do it, and you will if you try :biggrin:

Right for a start u need to cheer up! Think positive, I have an exam on wed as well, maths C1/C2 resit and two days ago i got 40% in a C2 and was tearing my hair out! I have worked solid since then and got 84% on another C2 this afternoon! Stick at it and good luck!

How do you know your ugly? Im sure there are other people who would disagree!

...and this kind of attitude helps you how?

Put that negative energy into some revision.

It won't help me. But I've always hated myself. And still do.

The only reason your failing is because you expect that of yourself. Feeling negative all the time isn't going to make anything better. Try doing some revision! At the end of the day grades aren't everything. Don't let it get you down.

Welcome to being a teenager. I hated myself for years but sitting around complaining about it got me nowhere. Learn to appreciate what you do have and be happy for who you are. It's not easy but you HAVE to learn.

Be happy that you have a warm bed and a roof over your head when you goto sleep. Be happy that you're not one of the people living in absolute poverty.

I don't mean to sound horrible but that attitude only goes in one direction.

Stop whining and get some revision done.

P.M.A. = positive mental attitude!

Instead of resigning yourself to fail, put your energy into proving to yourself that you can do it. Believe me round exam time everyone's worried they're going to screw up but you need to at least try your best or not only will you get bad grades but it'll be your own fault for not trying.

All i ever do is fail. I've got an exam on weds, I did a exam paper today - only got 33%. I'm never going to be any good. I'm not good looking. I'm crap as a person. I don't understand why God gave my parents me. I can't do anything right.


hun, im sure its quite upsetting for u.
These things are not to be able to dealt with one day.
I can understand and sympathise with how u feel and i assure u, ur not alone in these situations ;console;
When u state, all u ever do is fail? do u mean just only in exams?
The world is not a brain box. We all have to work hard to achieve what we want. No matter what happens. I can give u an example of myself, being really bad at maths, during my GCSE mocks i got an E , i was disappointed, i cried for a week, and then i sat down and fixed myself up, i thought to myself crying wont get me anywhere, i talked to my teacher, infact cried, and wanting to know how to sort my self out, so me and my teacher set me a target, she said " right desire, u have 4-5 months, lets do a timetable, do maths 3 times a week for 1hr and do mathematical excersises" i thought to myself "im bad at maths,im hopless i dont understand these horrible calculations" this and that, but it got me nowhere, so i pushed myself, and told myself "im only going to do maths up till GCSEs, and only one exam left, why not just work my backside for it" once i followed my schedule and having odd breakdowns during pms, I managed to get a C, i was very happy and satisfied with my grade, and was hoping for a C, i pushed myself to get B's for coursework and i know and believe i was capable of ending up with a C, for some people C for maths is bad, but it was good enough for me and that was the only C i got for my GCSE rest were As and Bs, i learnt i need to work for what i want to achieve rather than cry. Ofcourse crying does help but it doesnt solve anything, it only lets out the frustrations u have inside of u.
From reading by your post, i dont think theres just exam issues disturbing u , i feel theres other things in ur life upsetting u, which might be another factor causing u to not reach ur goals, ;console; dont worry, i know its easy for me to say and hard for u to do, but dont let this 33% get u down, look into the eyes of the 33% and challenge it, again its easy for me to say and i can understand it is hard for u to do, but try, at least.
Do it for us? :frown:
So why dont we all help u step by step? dont rush foward, it only makes matters worse, and dont fall too back to delay things in ur life that prevent u from reaching high. Just focus on ur problems bit by bit, and in the end u will achieve. I gurantee u that. We all are humans and we all can feel miserable at times. Nobodys perfect.

What do u feel might help u, help urself?
What do u feel that might make u have a positive impact on ur life?

do feel free to pm me or post another thread in this section, there are many nice people on :tsr2: and u do get the odd idiots, but avoid them and focus on the lovely ones.

:biggrin:

take care and keep posting. and dont stress :hugs:



Desire xxxxxxxxxx :tsr2:

suck it up and put some effort in, give it all youve got and you cant fail, so what if you dont pass a stupid state test, as long as you do your best and give it all youve got youve past the only true test, the willingness to apply yourself, do that and you can give yourself a pat on the back

Reply 12

just get over yourself an sort it out! may sound harsh but come on - if you have good enough marks to be on the course in the first place then with enough revision instead of moping around feeling sorry for yourself convincing yourself you're gonna fail at everything you do you could pass the exam couldnt you? and if you're not willing to put in the work and get rid of this negative attitude (yes, i know its hard an youre in the depths of depression with it etcetc), then you're not gonna get anywhere in life anyway so why are you even bothering with this exam in the first place? just revise like hell, pass the exam on weds and then feel sorry for yourself about the looming mark you got in it if you must! (is this maths C1 exam?? if so i have that on weds too and im doing awfully in it also but its really not the end of the world! for one thing you can re take in june if you really do do that badly in it, & also whats the point worrying about it if its totally inevitable? just stop stressing out, go to bed an get some sleep an spend all tomorrow revising. stop feeling sorry for yourself and make sure you pass the test!!!!!! )

Yeh...but I just don't feel I can do it. It's like am I going to get anything right. All I want is some support and someone to hold.

I know how you feel...I hate myself, my life, I always feel sorry for myself, and it really doesn't help having people say at least you're better off than homeless people, orphans, people in the Third World etc...yeah, I know, but it doesn't make my life feel any better. What you need to do right now is try and put all your energy into revision and then whatever the outcome, you know you've done your best, because regrets only fuel depression. Once you've got your exams out of the way - and be positive, say, 'I can do this exam, I will pass!' - try and focus on the positive things in your life. There's gotta be some. Whenever anyone says anything nice about you, remember it for those days when you think you've got no friends and no one cares about you.

I know how you feel and that it's not helpful when people tell you to stop feeling sorry for yourself. You can choose to wallow in your depression or make yourself happier - and I know I'm a wallower because it's easier, lol! But by focusing on the happy times in your life, even if there's not many, you'll feel better and gradually there'll be more happy times than sad.

*twitch* That word needs to die. *twitch twitch*

Anyhow, OP, don't give up on yourself! I know this is easier said than done, but you should always push yourself to do your absolute best. Make sure you revise lots for all your exams, especially for the ones that you don't feel so confident about, and don't leave revision to the last minute. Also, if you feel you need help with certain subjects, ask a teacher for help. That's what they're there for, after all.

I know how devastating it can be to fail (especially since academia happens to be the only thing in the world that I'm even remotely good at, LOL XD), but no matter what, you must ALWAYS keep trying. Though it may not seem like it now, there will be rewards in the future if you always put in your maximum effort.

All I want is some support and someone to hold.


Goodness, I know how that feels. =/ *sympathetic hug*

Well, I hope the best for you, and I wish you lots and lots of luck! ^_^

How d'you find out your results on the same day? And what level is this at GCSE, A-Level, Degree?

Reply 19

It's A levels. Currently studying maths chem bio. I'm already a re-take student because I got really poor results the first year. Everytime I try to attempt it, I start crying. I can't cope with it. I really need to get my grades but i'm pathetic at doing so.
