Hi guyz..we don't have a wealthy nor miserable life...for 9 children, I'm the only one who get into college..so, my parents is hoping and believing that i'm the one who can help them improve the quality of our life... At the end of my first year in school,i do have a boyfriend..but to our surprise after a few months after we graduated from college,my boyfriend and I found out that i'm pregnant...that is when started to worry for my parents...for i failed them..and also myself..because i do really want to give my parents a better life..a life they've never had ever since... but i can't say that i'm not happy with my life now..with my own family...because i'm very happy but still my life is not complete..i still wanted to help them..to give them a comfortable life..that they don't have to work anymore..because they're getting older... Do you think i'm a failure?

You didn't fail yet, You just have some setbacks now, you and your boyfriend are going to be there for one another even more now, because if you still want your success in life you got to keep trying, DO NOT GIVE UP, YOU STILL CAN WIN!!!!

Sometimes we set goals that are too high or are not achievable "right now" and imagine we're failures .No this is wrong thinking "failure " is only a temporary setback .Edison and his assistants tried over 10,000 filaments in order to get a light bulb that worked .Now do we count all the other experiments failure? No, because eventually he achieved what he wanted.Why are you counting the past experiments as ultimate failure? Don't count the experiments as final .The road to success is paved with failure....er experiments.

No I don't think your a failure, I believe what happens is meant to be, if you bring a new life into this world then that can't be a failure, it is sad that your parents have no one else to depend on but each person has their own journey to ride and to be happy is the whole meaning of life and I am sure your parents are happy just to have you in their life...

your a failure because thats what you think of yourself, maybe higher understanding for your situation can cool you down from thinking your a failure coz your not.,no one in this world can be a failure,even if your a killer, your still not a failure..so dont ever tell to yourself that your a failure.
