When you fail do you get back up and try again?

I started college when i was in my junior year of high school. its something we call dual enrollment. you can take college courses and get both college credit and high school credit for them. I did this my junior and senior year and did pretty well. then i graduated from high school and sort of went a little wild. i started making bad decisions that affected my life poorly. i stopped going to classes and lost all of my scholarships. I am now enrolled for the spring semester and i'm really scared. i'm trying to change my life and get back on track. what happens if i cant do it? have you ever tried something and failed?? did you keep trying until you got or did you give up and move on? what are you tips for succeeding in life?

Failing can be very scary when it happens to you and you have been used to success, I have failed in so many things that I find it a constant companion. Every success that I encounter these days becomes a welcome friend and begins to remove the patina of failure that seems to cover me. Cheers!!

It all depends. If it's something that's really important to me and I fail, then I keep trying. If school is important to you, then you just need to go back, buckle down, and not be "wild".

Whatever i do i don't tell myself that i'm going to fail or what if i fail, i always say that nothing is impossible and everything that i can think of and everything that someone can do...then there is no way i cannot do it. I always keep it positive in everything i do, no matter how difficult that thing is, i always tell myself that if the next guy can do it.. then i can do it too

thanks for the response. i know deep down inside i can do it but i still have that fear on failing. i know that sounds stupid but its true. i'm hoping that i can get past it. i'm only taking two classes.
