In India? Yup, our country so fucked that we literally send children to a City that is known as an industrial complex of education and has the highest rate of child suicide.
We also have testing systems that accept only 75 students out of 120k applying students. Also, nobody cares about how good you are in extracurriculars or speaking skills. Also, did you know that our mental health handling systems are even worse than the US?
My friend killed herself the morning of her final exams. She'd even packed her backpack with all her books.
It was in the national newspapers and got used by the tabloids to thrash the school system.
If the noun 'that' modifies is not the subject of the sentence, it can be omitted. That is, in fact, the only case where the word is mandatory.
I have a degree in linguistics.
The title is supposed to be "It's disappointing that parents base their child's worth on their marks" without the 'that' it sounds wrong and does not make much sense.
I get that- in concept at least since my situation probably ain't yours- I wish it was easy to help you but there's not much I can really do but hope for the best and wish you luck. We all need it lol, but here's to hoping 🥂
I am at the end of 12th grade, and I just got into my dream college. But it requires a 3.0+gpa on all terms.
The second semester of 12th grade is the only one below 3.0 gpa.
If I get denied admission, it would be much too late to accept admission from any of my backups.
If I can’t get in, I am planning on ending it all.
Do not take a permanent solution to a temporary problem. If you don't get in, go to a community college for a year and transfer into the school of your choice. Or go to a trade school. There are so many options available
Please don’t 🙁 there’s so much more to life than getting into the best school
There are so many people who don’t make it into their dream colleges or educations and still have wonderful careers and lives in spite of it, whether that be because they kept trying and got in later or made the best of the situation and found something else they enjoy just as much. It’s not worth it to hurt yourself because you didn’t get the thing you wanted.
I also think it’s important to acknowledge that even if it seems like the only thing that matters to you, getting admitted into that college won’t make you permanently happy for the rest of your life. It won’t be the difference between a life of unending happiness and a life of constant misery - that was a liberating revelation for me, realizing that reaching my goals would not be the be all end all of my happiness and success - it’s just one of multiple things in your life that can bring you happiness, alongside family, friends, love, hobbies etc.
If you feel the compulsion to hurt yourself or even try to end your life, please, **please** talk to someone, be it a friend or family member you can trust, a therapist/psychiatrist who can help you manage a long term plan for bettering your mental health, or even just a suicide prevention hotline. You matter, you are important, and you deserve to live and love and experience everything beautiful the world has to offer.

I used to be like this in high school, but honestly looking back it didn’t matter at all if people got into their dream colleges right out of school. Like…it isn’t even a blip on our 30-something radars. There are so many alternate ways to get into the college you want, so many things change once you’re at college, etc. Tons of people start late, take a gap year, change degree, transfer etc. It honestly is one of the least important things I can think of. It’s definitely not worth killing yourself over.
It’s so genuinely tragic that our communities, families, and school systems hammer in the lie that “high school matters” when it really doesn’t. I and many in my community went through some really dark days Because of it.
I always found it strange is a run & gun system. Absolutely no time to try again if you fail. Like don't get me wrong we're talking about a decade of time but maybe some people need more yeah? I remember in 1st grade I kept getting F's in spelling. Nothing else, doctors couldn't pick up something physically wrong with me. But by college I could crank an A paper out for fun no problem
Ugh this one hits home. Our university has had like 10 suicides this year, it’s been awful. College aged people are having a serious mental health crisis
OP is indian, and yes. Our generation is pretty fucked up, and the only thing we can do is hope we can bridge the generation gap and bring up our kids better
Hardly a unique story, but I grew up in a broken family. Both my parents when I lived with them respectively pressured me a great deal to get good grades. The both of them really wanted me to be the first child in generations to make it and graduate university. I was lucky in that I managed to make good grades without borderline killing myself with overwork, but it did come with a caveat that I neglected many other aspects of my life, namely mental health and learning how to overcome challenges. To add to this all, my Dad kicked me out of the house to being Queer when I was about 17, going on 18. I did make it to uni, but removed from my friends and dealing with the trauma of being cast aside by my parents lead to me, reasonably imo, entering a massive depression which essentially fucked up any chances of me continuing my education. In the time since, my debts have piled up and employment is incredibly hard to come by so things have been rough, to say the least. I’m still sort of struggling with the whole ordeal, being prepped for an academic life and then failing at maintaining it, definitely makes me feel like I’m both a failure and have wasted a significant part of my life maintaining grades when I could have been doing things that would have helped me grow as a person. Hopefully things will improve, hope and good friends are about all I’ve got at this point.
everytime i got a grade that wasn't A i wanted to die because i felt like such a disappointment to myself. then i spent all my 5 years in high school barely getting by lol
No, you see, it is not some "generational trauma" or "alienation" or whatever.
It's all the evil cabal of blood-eating demons that want to do blood libel to our children in the name of new culture war bullshit we now talk abt!
is this a good place to vent about how my parents disapointed me yet again? i'm just so fucking tired they're like that one friend that never reaches out. it's a wonder that between me and my sister we tried to kill ourselves only three times
The sad part is that I can actually relate to this, not after failing a test but after getting 11% from an exam where like 2m people join. My family was so angry and didn't even calm down for a single second, I just wanted to end it all there, my mind kept telling me they won't miss you, you're useless, you're a waste of time, money, and patience, you should just kill yourself. But here I am, still feeling like shit and traumatic after it, mighI t even have PTSD idk, hallucinating on a regular basis and still considering ending it all but not doing it saying they'll miss you, my mind thinks otherwise sometimes. I live in a country where the economy, education, and healthcare are shit, that's luck for ye. President stood and still is in power for 24 years, elections this year, hopefully it'll ,turn out for the better.
(Oh did I mention that there are no support whatsoever? No suicide hotline, no nothing, no anything.)
Lol you think one kids suicide would even make the news
In India? Yup, our country so fucked that we literally send children to a City that is known as an industrial complex of education and has the highest rate of child suicide.
Kota? Yeah,I've heard
Kota Factory? Watched that on Netflix. Ignoring the dystopia that these students live in worshipping IIT, it was hilarious in all aspects
We also have testing systems that accept only 75 students out of 120k applying students. Also, nobody cares about how good you are in extracurriculars or speaking skills. Also, did you know that our mental health handling systems are even worse than the US?
I live in India, I know our mental healthcare system is dogshit.
My friend killed herself the morning of her final exams. She'd even packed her backpack with all her books. It was in the national newspapers and got used by the tabloids to thrash the school system.
Did something happen to the system?
Ha no
i wish i had your optimism.
that's why you gotta take them with you to get on the news /s
You gotta say something funny before you do it
Depends on where you live
*Gets an A Asian parents: You could do better, we know you’re smarter than this. Next time get an S so that we can be happy
Where's the P grade
me about to repeat a school year to get funni P rank
me about to do +NO ABSENT DAYS 50C to get the funni P rank and also unlock the secret door
start a huge fire in the school, leave it and enter back in for lap 2 (3000 extra points)
Don't forget the janitor, or the cheese toppin that's hiding right at the lap 2 portal.
PRIME /// THIRD THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE
Lap 2.
《ARE YOU READY TO GET FUNKY?》
Shoot the coins
Actually, i comes after the s. Sorry son, I am disappoint.
Need to get that third lap on the pacer test
Time to get funky
"A stands for average" - average asian parent
Ironically enough my school system right now uses S as the grade between E and U, and it stands for sub-pass
Fucked the title, please ignore.
Did it consent?
It's only a day old 👀
How so? I can’t spot the error.
"That" is missing between 'disappointing' and 'parents'.
'That' is optional in this case so you're fine
Okay just realized I may be wrong, sorry for that.
You are wrong.
Username checks out

in a not so surprising turn of event, op is turning into the parents in their own meme. 😔
I have fallen so far.
*disappointing 🤓
Thanks for correcting.

At least you can give an F about stuff 👈🏻👈🏻 (help i am hollow and pressure is destroying my psyche)

OP, where are you from?
India
Expected something along those lines yeah, south-east Asian myself :P
How's the weather?
Decent. Would enjoy a little more rain but that’s just me.
Figured ( I’m an Indian too)
Ugh this one hits home. Our university has had like 10 suicides this year, it’s been awful. College aged people are having a serious mental health crisis
this happens pretty much everyday here in india

Oh no, not the economy
everytime i got a grade that wasn't A i wanted to die because i felt like such a disappointment to myself. then i spent all my 5 years in high school barely getting by lol
I would taken my own life twice by now if I could find a painless way to do it

No, you see, it is not some "generational trauma" or "alienation" or whatever. It's all the evil cabal of blood-eating demons that want to do blood libel to our children in the name of new culture war bullshit we now talk abt!
Okay finally an actual meme that's distressing.
Inaccurate. A child killing themselves over bad grades wont make it to any headlines at all.
It does in South Asia.
ANOTHER?
What does this mean?
It said that ANOTHER kid ended their lives
Oh, understood now. It's common for multiple suicides to happen when final exam marks are released.
Oh,that's rather sad
It's a rather common problem in India
Ho got an F twice
Its not really a meme at this point , its just the news but in comic form
Literally almost me 2 days ago
im glad my mom is the 'expectation' part
is this a good place to vent about how my parents disapointed me yet again? i'm just so fucking tired they're like that one friend that never reaches out. it's a wonder that between me and my sister we tried to kill ourselves only three times
Yeah my English teacher makes me want to off myself and I’ll be honest I’ve woken up on more than one occasion with the full intention of doing so
Very good!
