Answers:
Don't give up hope. I feel the same way. I was in all honors classes in 10th grade and dealing with depression and sexual abuse issues from the past. My mom found out about everything about 3 years before that and didn't do anything to help me. I had been cutting for almost 5 years, not knowing what else to do. Plus I was in a very bad relationship.
At the end of the school year, I had make-up work from march (due to tonsillitis and strep and getting literally 30 min of sleep a night to try to get it all done). I couldn't handle it or deal with it and I got really low grades in all my classes.One night, I had decided to commit suicide, but out of no where, I fell asleep. Got up the next day cursing myself for not staying awake to do it. I told a friend and she told me to talk to the counselor at school. From there, they were obligated to send me to the hospital. They called my mom, evaluated me for about an hour, asked me a whole bunch of questions, and finally sent me to the hospital. This was all before 10:30am.
I was at the hospital from about 10:30 am to 11:45pm. They sent me to Carrier Clinic (in-patient) I was there for 8 days, 8 nights. After that, I was in an out-patient program at Princeton House. And 1 1/2 years later, I'm still going to therapy. I tried medications that only helped for the time being, I got my GED so I didn't even get to be a senior and now I'm being pressured to go to college, which isn't going to happen anytime soon. I feel like, "if I couldn't handle hs, how could I handle college.?.?" But when I do go back for school, it will be online courses, most only let you take 1-2 courses at a time, which will probably be a lot easier.
Try looking into therapy, maybe even a psychiatrist. Work on YOUR well being for now, don't worry about anyone else, what they do or think. You need to take care of yourself. And eventually, if you work hard, things WILL work out. Do some research, think about what your depressed about and see a psychologist. Remember---it's ALWAYS your decision in the end. Therapy has helped me so much. And only talk to one that you feel comfortable talking to. There are a lot of really good ones out there, but some aren't.
Look forward to the future, don't dread it. Try to think as possitively as possible, it does help, even if you're just fooling yourself. Just work on you for now. You can do it. Everything will be ok hun. Just hang in there.
I really hope I could help. You're not a failure, just a little confused as to what to do. And if anyone calls you a failure, tell em you got friends on Yahoo! Answers that will punch them in the mouth! ;-)

Talk to a counselor on campus. They will help you figure and direct you towards what you really want to do. If college is really making you that miserable, maybe you should take a break and just work for a while. Sounds like you just need some time off. While college can be very stressful, there is light at the end of the tunnel. You get through it eventually, and come out stronger for having done it. You aren't a failure, because college is very difficult.

you don't succeed in college, you succeed when you leave college-school is just a tool in helping you succeed. And your life is what you make of it! If you let your depression control you then you won't get anywhere...Practise postitive thinking. Take control of your life - eat well, do some form of exercise, meditate, paint, read, get inspried. I do yoga and paint - it helps a lot. Try to find something you love and enjoy your life! For all we know it may be the only one we have~Health Question & Answer
College is not for everyone. I have two children. Both went to college after high school but only one continues to go. There are successful people who did not attend college.

If you say that you will never succeed, then you never will.
Law of attraction.
You just need to start believing in yourself, otherwise you won't get anywhere. I know this because, I feel the same time to time, and when I tell my self 'I WILL SUCCEED', I feel different, and things start to change.
Who ever it is that you feel you need support from but they don't give it... forget about them. You carry on and do your own thing carry on with college, it's not like school, because you want to do it, you feel proud that your actually learning things and by the end of your course you will have succeeded anyway.
You should be here! Your not a failure! And you never will be if you actually get up and do something about it!
You may need to seek Professional help too, which will help you alot while your getting back on track!
Please dont give up.

What is this cause of depression.?
What is the type of pressure you are feeling when you are in school.?
Learning is a life long process...so you'll always be learning no matter where you are.
Do consider your options carefully. This is for you, your future and your success in today's society in regards to being financially stable.
Are the courses you're taking not stirring up your interest.? Is there something distracting you.? Girlfriend.? Parents.? Family in general.? Financial strain.?
College/University is school. But think about it...once you are done with school....it's a HUGE milestone and accomplishment. It is YOURS and YOURS alone. No one can tap into your mind. No one can steal that knowledge away from you.
If you believe you have lost inspiration to go to school.....then take a leave of absence for a semester or two. Explain to your parents that you need to get the inspiration and motivation back. While in the 'leave of absence' get a job. Do something. Do not sit at home and mope arond.
Be productive and keep yourself busy. That is the only way for you to feel you want to be here again.
Chin up...it's always a different day the next :)Health Question & Answer

Life is what you make of it. Don't be so hard on yourself. Your still young and have so much to look forward to. Life never gives you a easy time so don't take it personally we all hate it sometimes. All you can do is get up everyday and see how life treats you that day. Then go to bed and wake up and do it all over again. Sounds to me like you need to have some fun. Get a hobby like off road buggys or something. Anything that will give you some adrenaline pumping. Don't let it beat you down. surround yourself with people who love you and make you happy. Blow off the ones the cause you drama. High scool is not the end. What happens in high school to make you depressed is irrelavent to the real world. Good luck and I hope you can move past all the sadness. Be tough and fight through it. You have to or you will stay in this depressed state. What people think doesn't matter either. the older you get the more you learn to not care what others think or do. I'm 30 and have been through alot and you just have to keep moving. what happened to make you depressed is over and all that matters is how you overcome it. My best wishes go out to you...Health Question & Answer
