Wanting to give up completely on academics

I can just say bye to my polytechnic dreams. today was emath paper 1, and according to answers available online I got a ~45/90. I also got unlucky with my English papers though English is my best subject. I also did commentary on capitalism for my art which Ive now found out the markers dont exactly favour, so there goes my distinction. all I can say is, ive gotten unlucky with every single exam. I know this because I did much, much better for internal exams

I’ve had 14 hours of screentime once, so that pretty much solidifies the fact that I’ve given up. I cant do this anymore. if my only option is ite, I will book a flight to Canada to embark on a climb to the summit of Mount Thor and just jump off from there. that is, if I am financially stable enough to even fly to canada

I legitimately feel my ebbing cognitive ability shrivelling up and I don’t knowwhy

I genuinely dont know how I flunked 7 papers so far, 8 if you count art. I don’t know why I’m so unlucky or why my intelligence is simply diminishing for God knows why

there are people out there who do twice as good as me while I study twice as much as them I hate being naturally dunderheaded and slow

Have you ever hear of domino effect? Law of attraction? And that if you start of your day thinking negatively the rest of your day will came out negative.

I know its bad, but you need to break the cycle of negativity. Its your last subject. And i know you already given up. But i really hope you can just forget about how bad you did for the 7 subjects and focus on the last one.

Its hard. And I don’t want to sound like I am putting passive-positive comments.

I can only say, at most, you may have to take the long cut to get what other people get. Still….you will get there with some effort and careful planning. Be it, whether its staying back, retaking as a private student or go to ITE.

Your issue is just that you didnt find your own strength and potential.

Its kinda crappy for me to say that i too sucks at academics and i only found out i am dyslexic when i was is my 30s. But somehow i have the potential to outsmart any doctors and social workers if i am given the same opportunity to learn what they learn.

So….pls dont start hammering and punishing yourself now. There is still hope as long as the results is not out, even though you might not get a distinction, things might not get as bad as you imagine.

hi, I understand it is the olevel season now, and it is stressful. as a student myself, I can understand that it can get pressurising this time. however, I was reminded by a friend that the answers online may not be reflective of the actual results, and other papers are still ongoing, cheering you on op!
