The title pretty much explains it but I dropped all three of my classes two week ago and I’ve been lying to my mom since. I work at full time job Mon-Fri and lately I’ve had zero motivation or interest in anything so getting myself to do any school work has been impossible. I was failing all my classes, which I had also been lying to her about, and I can’t afford the F’s to go on my transcript because I’ve been trying to get into a selective program at my school and my GPA could not take the hit of 3 F’s. I’ve even been driving to school and sitting outside of the buildings on the days I’m supposed to be in class since my mom has my location. I haven’t told anyone about this and I feel like such an idiot and failure and I just don’t want to disappoint her

Know thy self.
Are you depressed?
When you find yourself in a hole, quit digging.
You’re still digging yourself deeper.
Put the shovel down OP.
You should tell her she might be disappointed but all lying about it is gonna do is make you feel worse. It sounds like you’re going through a depressive episode. I wish you luck and you got this man just look forward.
Don’t feel like a failure…. Maybe this school isn’t your thing. If your mom is a mom, she maybe disappointed for a minute but she’ll get over it and she will always love you. Be honest, it will be the best thing for you. And then just kick ass at your next school. Life is short and this isn’t worth being that upset over. Use this as a learning lesson of how you don’t want to feel this way again. Hang in there 😊
Bro you literally copied my post word for literal word😐
Hey op sounds like you might be overwhelmed and stressed. I’m not a doctor or anything but if you need a pal my dms are open
As a mom, I want to give you a hug and tell you it’ll be okay.
As someone who’s flunked out of classes before, I want to tell you what you’re putting yourself through mentally and emotionally by keeping this bottled up is probably worse than what you will actually experience once you tell your mom what’s going on.
Please let her know what’s going on so she can help or just be supportive and please find someone to help you through whatever mental health struggles you’re dealing with. You can make it through this!
I’ve seen this movie and it didn’t end well

Meh I did this for four years, it’ll work out
Stolen post. Ignore it.
I was in your situation once.
After high school, I enrolled to community college. Didn’t have a plan or decision in what career field I wanted to pursue. Didn’t have guidance and know any better.
Decided college wasn’t it for me after finishing one semester. During school hours I was hanging out with my boyfriend and worked afternoons, avoiding my mom. Until finally she found out after three months, that I wasn’t going anymore and confronted me what I’ve been doing.
I don’t think she was upset at me for not attending college, mainly upset that I couldn’t communicate with her.
It’s been 5 years since it happened- since I’ve grown and experienced different career fields, I’m now interested in going back to school.
Only you, will know when you’re ready.
Find a place in nature that you love(In a water person… Rivers, oceans lakes…) and take a deep breath. Leave your phone in the car(as long as your somewhere safe and familiar). And take your shoes n socks off and put your feet on the ground. Walk, sit, kayak… Whatever just ground yourself and for at least 30 minutes check out of rat race and your mind. Just breath and listen and look and relax as if your living your best life. Give yourself a break for at least 30 minutes. It’s ok dto do that it’s needed. Then get to basics. If you blow if school and just work… Is that going to give you a life you can be happy with? Are making money and paying all your bills on your own? Can you manage with the $ you make so you can work a couple of years until you are ready to really take school serious and excited for the life that education can provide you? If the answer is no you can’t. Then you either need to find better employment so you can or take a moment to refocus on school. It’s alright if you want to take sometime to just work and live before getting another 2 to 4 to 6 or 8 years of school in. And college or any further education is such a tiny amount of life but it can be the difference between enjoying life or not having options and working 2 to 3 jobs you don’t like just pay rent n car not and cell and all the other things like food ….) I’m 45 and just realized I’m only half way through this life and that blew my mind I just hit the half way mark. I still have another 40ish year to be on this planet. So while you may struggle to find the motivation for school please know that the struggle of 50 years in the workforce living paycheck to paycheck sucks way more and motivation becomes a luxury. You can restart life every single day. If you can really grasp the benefits of an education and look forward to the life it will give you then maybe you can go into beast mode and muscle through it. Because life without the education will be a hell of a long harder and last more that ten time as long as it took to finish school. Trust me. Yeah it’s hard to own up to shit but you go to your counselors and other resources at school and tell them straight up. I fell off and need direction on how to get back into good standing. After you’ve met up with school and have a plan in place go to your mom… Tell her you fell off but picked yourself up and got right and tell her your sorry for the lies you just got lost and “I hope you can see that me coming to now shoes I understand the hurt and disrespect my dishonesty may cause but I also hope you see my plan to get back to was so I could show you I’m not a failure”…. Or something like that. And if you want to work … I got some words for that too. But you do you and I hope you realize that your at an intersection in life right now so take aoment and really think about and imagine what life is down each of the available roads. Good luck to you and I hope the best XOXOXO
