Good day mylotters though my day is not that good. I am really depressed these past few days maybe because my parents scolded me for telling them that i want to quit as working scholar, though i really would like to because i'm so damn tired of everything and i want to provide my own money for my studies, which made me feel so down and it feels like the whole world is against you and there is nothing you could do anything about it. Today I do not know but i just listed down my weakness and as i surveyed it back i thought of myself as a none sense person. A person who is living without anything extraordinary and without a purpose. What should i do to uplift myself?

well at least you was beening truthful with your parents,telling them how you feel.most people would respect that.and there is nothing like making your own money that is a healthy feeling.what you should do is stay positive its going to be ok.your time will come.be patient soon you will be able to care for yourself like you want too. like paying for your studies.remember trouble dont last always.you have a blessed day.be happy until your time come.

I suggest instead of making a list of your weaknesses, you need to make a list of your strengths and your potentials. Think back over all the compliments you have ever recieved in your life and write them down, no matter how small or big the compliment was or from whom. I think you will discover you have a lot more going for you than you thought and you need to be careful of what you tell yourself. If you keep saying you are nonsense you are just running yourself down. You need to count on yourself to support you emotionally. Be your own best friend. Ask yourself what would you want a best friend to do for you..then do that for yourself. All the best and God Bless

I am sorry to hear that you are so down. How long have you been in school? and what was your major. Do you want to quit because you dont have desire to do what you have selected and want a change of careers? I think its normal for people to go through a time when they question whether they are on the right track. How about listing your strong good points instead of focusing on the bad. And follow what your heart is telling you to do. Best wishes to you.

To tell you honestly, as i have listed those weaknesses that i have, i also thought of a counteract for those however, i have found out that i do not have none that is why i feel so down.

Don't be depressed, first you think about what do you want to do, if you think that your decision is right then you have to describe about your plan to your parents. You can find there are lots of things to do in the internet, which can be make you extraordinary and happy. You just keep your eyes open and try to search new innovated things, like if you interested in study, then you have to search study related, if you interested in photography, then you have to search photography related etc. and always be patience in all matter then at last you will be most happiest person in this world.

I think that being a scholar is a good thing. I was a working scholar too in college and I understand there are those days when I feel like I want a snorkel student life. I look at my friends enjoying their university days and there I was running after time trying to fit all my activities in one day. It is not easy, but somehow it gives me and my family that sense of pride, when I get to survive and still do good. It is your decision, if you think that you will be better if you will focus on your studies without pressuring yourself on a grade to maintain and a job to attend, then you have to stand to that decision and prove to your parents that you can do better with the decision you took. But at the same time, it is not a simple decision to make, I think it deserves some thinking back a lot of times again. Good luck.

Only You can control and make the decisions in your life. not your parents. some parents are like that, they want you to reach there goals they have for you , even though u set your own.. so all you can really do is tell them that this is what you want to do and u would like it best if they stood behind you in your decision. do what YOu want. Its your life you have to live not theirs.. hope things get better :)

Actually i have told them of my plans but in the end, i was still the one who was defeated and got very depressed. I was even told by my mother, who in the first place allowed me to resign but eventually changed her mind, that i was lucky enough to be assigned at the library wherein it is air conditioned and that my job there was so easy when in fact it wasn't true, my whole college life might be a model for others since i am not spending a single cent for my tuition but my college life is like hell for i am pressured with a lot of stresses from work, to school and to my family. I just do not know what to do.

Dont over do it.. You could concentrate on one thing at a time and that might help.. if your mother wants to be mad or how ever she is feeling , let her be , its your life not hers. hope this helps :)

hi tortor! don't think of the negative things around you.. instead think of what you have achieved or what you have done for them..don't say that you are a nonsense person because you said that you are a scholar and it made sense for you and for youer parents..most of the parents wants only the good for their children that's why they feel bad knowing that your quitting.. but if you are not happy on what you are doing better tell them your reasons they will understand it for sure.. think positive always that would help you find your way out and be free from being depressed..
