worst part is, when you study hard, dont watch t.v or video games, and still fail!

I came here to say I failed 3/5 classes first semester of college after being a straight A student. Three years passed and I have my dream job, I have good grades and I am about to graduate. Life does get better, you will be fine. It hurts at first, then you feel mad at yourself, then you feel scared to retry but at the end it all works out. Trust me. Take a deep breath and tell yourself you will get over this one day.

I'm more scared of how my parents will react than of actual failure

I felt like crying while watching this... My whole freshman year in college is a mess. Thank you Frank. Your material here is so helpful and I hope I get to bring your work justice and succeed. :) Thanks again for all that you do.

I hate the fact I used to be a perfect student, just makes my failures all the worse since my parents say, "What happened? You used to have all A's."

At this moment, the only thing lower than my grades is my selfesteem, and that's why I'm here...

It’s really comforting watching this and reading the comments realizing that I’m not alone, and that people go through this too and still manage to get through....
I’m a Senior in high school and I just took my physics final test for the first semester, but I know I failed, I was too overwhelmed with the fact that it was worth 70% of my final grade... my mind was too worried the whole time, i got confused and everything was a mess... I’ve never failed a class before, never ever. So, it feels terrible to let it sink down... but I’ll do as you say, thank you for this. I’m more calmed than before, I’m ready to confront the consequences, and even if things go bad theres always a solution to everything it doesn’t matter what, and I’ll do whatever it takes to reach my goal, this is not going to defeat me, I can retake the test, and it’s okay... I’ll learn from all of this, and yes I take this as a lesson, it’s a wake up call to teach me that i need to focus.
I’m a good student there’s no doubt, but I need to focus I’ve been too distracted lately, I won’t let this little thing break me or my goal in life. I’ll be fine. Thank you

Wow ok that was weird, I just received news about failing a test today, and this pops up

[taylorcarr]

I'm not an F student, but this was my first semester of college and everything was moved online and I failed all of my courses due to lack of motivation and mental health relating to whats been happening around me. I am terrified of how this will affect my future and how my parents will react if they find out (Im hoping they dont). I sometimes get the feeling that I should just drop out bc I feel like I'm wasting money, but I want to prove others and myself wrong and come out with the best grades I have ever received. I don't want this to be for nothing. It terrifies me to the point where I feel sick, but I want the best for myself and I'm not entirely sure what to do

This comment section makes me feel warm and welcome, and sometimes I come back here when I fail. Thank you for this video, but I still feel like horse shit.

I think I failed my exam because I was nervous and couldn’t concentrate

[lovemecom]

Failure is natural but it depends on us on how we choose to deal with it. For me, in order to get over failing, we should be resilient and use it as motivation in order to be successful on you next try. Don’t stop chasing your dream until you reach it.

I Failed my Exit Exam, all my friends are graduating i feel alone and i feel disappointed in my self. Thankyou for the support and kind words

[TammyBoy]

I tend to do good in class if I'm physically in there. However, this whole distance learning has made it hard for me :(

IM LITERALLY FREAKING OUT BECAUSE I FAILED MY WHOLE SEMESTER BECAUSE OF COVID-19 SINCE I ALWAYS GOT DISTRACTED IN THE CLASSES AND MY PARENTS ARE LITERALLY GOING TO KILL ME

[jinxaj]

i was absolute bawling my eyes out. I scored a 1.40/10 on a test. I legit thought last year "how is it even possible for someone to get that low pff" my god karma never hit me this hard.
