Is something wrong with you if you are not doing well in college and hate it?

College isn't for everyone.  \n\nThat said, you also have the perfect opportunity to explore things that you like.  \n\nYou say you like painting and psychology?\n\nWell why not look into art theraphy?  \nYou probably aren't doing well in school because you aren't focused on anything.  \nI understand that as I was the same way.  I took a year off and after being in the crappy job market I went back to school.  \n\nI've got my degree now, but still don't have a decent job making a decent wage.  However, college was fullfilling for me and I don't regret it.  It just hasn't helped me in the current job market.  \n\nTake the time to explore things you are interested in, or take some time off because if you can't focus in school and you are failing your classes you are probably wasting your time right now.

There are always people who love their jobs/subject and they are always going to be better than the people who hate it. \nIf you hate your job/subject you are probably not getting great grades which will make it difficult to find a job later anyway. \nIf you think you will make an excellent job of english/anthropology why waste your time with more microbiology if you hate that (or at least don't love enough that you can put up with chemistry for its sake). \n\nIf you think you will be able to work your butt off for your new major and enjoy doing that it is a good decision, if that's just something to do until you can think of something better it probably isn't, then you should spend some time figuring out what you really want to do. Maybe take a year off and get some work experience in jobs you think may be interesting for you.

Maybe a drug or alchol or mental illness don't let it get you down. Go forth with your college and get out of there talk to your Mom if you can. I have found that just saying stuff like I'm sorry that it seems that way but I'm not always helps with dealing with people like that

yup, that's good, though there's always room for improvement! :)\n\nfocus on your poorer subjects and aim to understand them better... remember what you want to be in the future will depend on the scores of certain subjects... just continue to strive for a better grade and focus on your vision and goal. \n\nall the best!!!!! :)

Hate to break this to you partner...College is no realistic representation of what real life is like. When you have a job you are expected to get up each day and go work hard to produce results. If you want soothing hire a massuese(sp?)

Shortterm yes, but in the long term it's bad if you don't go to college.

Such is life!  College = Stress.  Start working on the paper now and you should be fine.

I failed college algebra, finite math and economics.  I managed to barely pass the second time around.  I'm terrible at math, I just don't get it.  I made straight A's in English and History type classes though.  They say people are "wired" certain ways.  Don't feel bad if you fail a class or two.  Just try harder the second time, learn from your mistakes, and maybe get a tutor!

You said you and your parents don't get along. Does this mean you do not love them? I am sure you do. turn the tables and think about your question. \n\nyou go to bed tonight and when you wake up your parents are gone - they didn't bother to tell you and didn't leave a note as to where they were. \n\nwould you be worried? would you be hurt? would you feel like maybe they should have told you? I think that would be a yes. \n\nand you know that no matter what you love your parents and would not want them to worry about what happened to you. \n\nYou going to college so this tells me your smart - I think maybe you could if you really wanted to find ways to improve the relationship you have with your parents. \n\nbest of luck.

From my personal experience, financial aid is absolutely pitiful for the middle class but exceptional if you are poor.\n\nWhen I started college, my family income was a little over the national average, and as a result the financial aid package I received was very short on grants (aka free money) and heavy on loans (aka money you have to pay back).\n\nDuring my first year, my dad became very ill and could no longer work.  Our family income went from average to next to nothing.  However, my subsequent financial aid packages became very generous, with the majority of my expenses covered with grants.  I ended up graduating with $10,000 in student loans, which is pretty low.  I could defer payment of all of my loans until after I graduated.\n\nSo if your school operates anything like mine, the less money you have, the more money the school will help you out with.  In my case, I was very pleased with my school's financial aid situation as I could not have finished my studies otherwise.

Leaving school is not the answer.  If you did that, what would you do next? Feel too depressed to get a job, or get a minimum wage job that you hate and gee...the people there treat you badly too.  Imagine that.  \n\nYOU are the problem, kiddo.  You need therapy.  You are just full of self-pity.  "Oh, I don't want to hurt people...but I'll let them ALL use me like a doormat.  That's ok."

I like it. It can be frustrating because your students are often ill-prepared for the rigors of college, but I don't know any job that isn't frustrating at one time or another. It is quite rewarding to share your knowledge with others and to see the "light bulb" when they get it.

I know exactly how you feel! Last week I had an English Test, and I got two wrong answers in multiple choice, I was devastated, just thinking, "if I would just marked the other one". I couldnt stop thinking about that. But after thinking about it I just concluded that I cant make my life miserable for a C grade, when all my other grades are As and Bs, life go on, get over it, besides the school year just began. That test is over, past, now you have to look forward, and study harder for your future tests.\n\nCheer up, and enjoy life\n\nHappy Thanksgiving!!!!!

NO. I hated school. so i dropped out this yr. Senior year of highschool. But i now regret it. I've found that it's very hard to get a job, or for an employer to even take a second look at you, if you don't have a highschool education. However i'm going to get my GED, and try and make something of my life. But what i've found out is that, school may suck and be boring at times, but in the long run, it's necessary. So what ever you're thinking stay in school.
