I love my parents!I used to be a good student till I was in high school. And this made my parents happy for me. They thought I would make a good career. But after high schools, I got myself in a really bad company of boys and ruined my studies. It affected my studies a lot, and from then till now, I haven't done any great thing that should really make my parents proud of me. I know I am a bad son who didn't live up to the expectations of my parents. At times, I have hurt them a lot. I know everything, but can't help myself out! Am I going to be a bad Son like this forever? What should I do?

First of all talk less and do more. You want to hear those answers from us which you already know. So basically even now you are wasting time asking silly questions when your questions should be on how to get a good job, what best training methods are there for mediocre students who want to do big in life, whether there are others in Mylot like you who have struck it big for their parents and so on. There’s no use crying over spilt milk and no use apologizing to your parents either. By now, they are probably so shocked at your degradation that they wouldn’t believe your serious intentions. So as I said, talk less and do more. If you want a job then go thru the vacancy columns of papers, give your CV to consultancies and connect with people who are already in the job sector. Try to know what you lack in getting a job and how you can develop your skills. If you want a business, do a thorough research and then try to earn that money yourself by hard work. No amount is small for business and don’t see rosy dreams. Whatever you do, don’t hang around idly with gangs, don’t ask your parents for money (you are too old for that) and don’t ever give up on honest hard work. It always pays.

There's still TIME you know. Your still young, you can still right your wrongs and try to excel in life. You start by doing good in your studies. You can always be with any person or peers that you want, no matter how bad your friends may be or the bad things that they do and may be force you into or set some bad influences,.. you still have A CHOICE. You can say NO. Your friends may have be part of the reason why your not doing good in your studies but how about you? Can't you do good? You're not a bad son in my opinion. Your just growing up and discovering lots of things in your life and you also did make bad decisions. Maybe you put your friends first instead of your own priorities or whatever. But there's still time. You can still make your parents proud. Go for it. Go for gold. Study hard. Your friends will always be there if they're really true to you. Best of luck!

We have a saying here: We will study until we grow old. So you can study whenever you like. When I was pregnant, I even went to study French. I am still keeping learning something useful now. Trust me, you can make your parents to be proud of you. Don't waste the time, you know what to do actually.

It doesn't sound to me as if you are "bad"....maybe just young and unsure of what you want to do with your life. So you've made some poor choices. We all have and with any luck we learn from them. The first thing to do is to stop kicking yourself. Start doing things that make you feel good about yourself such as get a job or go back to school.

Forget about what happened and make a fresh start. Write down some points on what you should not do and stick to them. Be sensible on what your resolutions are. YOUR PARENTS ALWAYS LOVE YOU AND WILL BE PROUD OF YOU WHEN YOU ARE GOOD. May God bless you!

Hello amitksing, First of all wishing you and all mylotters a very happy and prosporous Newyear and I will start this year in mylot by responding you "A bad son" lol.I saw your profile page you are just 23yrs old, you know yourself that you used to be a good student, that means you are intelligent but even intelligent people needs practise to keep up their consistency in their performances which you didnt and you have yourself written the reason " I got myself in a really bad company of boys". You love your parents thats why you can realise that you have hurted your parents and thats the reason you want to make your parents proud for you.Now analyse all the points yourself carefully and decide what can you do to make your parents happy.The answer of your question is actually very easy ,and that is just try to forget what has already happened as those cant be changed anymore but the entire life is infront of you so think about your present and make proper planning for a better future.If you dont mind I have some suggestions for you. At your current position regarding your career you have to decide what exactly you are interested that you can do with your best efficiency, but before that you have to be firm enough that you will not keep in touch with your bad company of friends under any circumstances anymore.I bet this will make your parents happy seeing their son totally avoiding the bad company,and you will get to see their attitude changing positively towards you within few months.Work hard honestly and intelligently whatever you do in your life,keep patience and have faith in God and I bet you will get success in real time.If you are confused about choosing your appropriate career then you can visit Career Consultancy Companies in your city and they are the best person to guide you.I think your parents and your wellwishers will be happy and proud to see your positive attitude towards life.I wish you all the best of luck.

That's a real problem. you know but you cannot do, so do many other people. try to leave the bad company, try to do some useful job, try to do things that make your parents proud of me... of course, it is most important to try to make a plan for your future.

accepting ur mistake is the right thing. the first thing u can do to make ur parents proud is change ur company.and try to do things as trivial that may be to please ur parents. talk to them and ask for forgiveness

Only you can determine whether you will be a good son or not.It is left up to you to make your parents proud of you and only you can do it.Try your best to let them know how sorry you are for all the past hurt you have put on them.Speaking from experience once they are gone it will be too late for you to let them know whats in your heart and you will be filled with regret.This has happened to my brother with our mother that just passed away unexpectantly.now he is filled with such hurt and regret because for most of his life he let her down and in the last few years ignored her most of the time.try and show your parents love everyday whether you live close or far away.A call,a visit,an email only takes a few minutes out of your day and it would probably mean the world to your parents.
