I'm not sure why I'm putting this on crazy forum, as its quite a serious thing. Spose I guess I get more views of here.

I just found out
I've failed my exams
Its not fair, Its over now
An end to all my plans
I know the worlds not over
but thats the way it seems
I've messed my life right up
I've shattered all my dreams

All play and no work
I was such a fool
mucked about as a kid
bullied all through school
College was no different
Spent it smoking joints
why should I continue ?
Tell me, whats the point ?

All that work for nothing
what a waste of time
but I know that I'll get over this
I know that I'll be fine
I just found out
I've failed my exams
thats what happens when
you put your life in a stranger's hands.

I'm guessing the exam wasn't for your poetry class.;)

Seriously, chin up dude! Even though you may have failed your exams, now you have a chance to learn from the experience.

btw - can you retake them without having to sit through classes again?

Man that's too bad :/

But still, you will do better next time, i'm sure of it. You learn from your mistakes. A person can only better oneself by learning from their own mistakes. Anyways, good luck with it man, you'll get through ;)

Lol, good for u mate!

Don't fret about the mum thing, when you get big enough to stop them from spankin you, they can resort to emotional blackmail to get you to "straighten up and fly right".
;)
I'm sure she means well with what she's saying, but it's hard for her to realise that your a fully grown person now.
So because of that, she can seem a bit insensitive.
She needs to adjust and relate to you as an adult. Don't hold you're breath though, I'm 31 now, and my old ma still thinks I'm 12! :)

I'm gonna try and re-sit, as I wanna live the student life and put off going out into the 'real world' for as long as possible :) I'm not to let down by it, what upset me most is what my mum said. "I'm not angry, I'm just dissapointed" heh, that hurts a whole lot more.

She blaimed it on computer, and JKII. Damn all you people for being so nice and consuming my time!! I shall see you in court.....

That's too bad man..
But really, try not to worry too much. There are plenty of options in this situation.
You could resit, you could take a break from education for a year or 2 and get some real world experience (universities absolutely love this), you could go back as a mature student a bit further in the future (uni's love mature students most of all!).
And, to be completely honest with you, the older I've gotten, the less exam results have mattered. What really matters in my field (I.T. Support), is whether you know your stuff and how well you get on with people.

The problem you'll have at the moment is a lack of perspective. Everyone around you will have been telling you just how vital these exam results are. Well, they're not. Not even close to vital.

Food is vital.
Shelter is vital.
Water is vital.

Good exam results are nice, but their value is hugely exaggerated by members of the educational establishment.

So, chin up dood, take out your frustration by hacking me to death in JK2, and plan how YOU WANT to spend your future.

BTW, Nice Poem, u got some writing talent there my lad!:cool:

Allow me to comment...

You're a joker if you had even an inkling of hope in passing after seeing our grades just before the final marking. I warned you not to kid yourself dude...

BUT...only enough although I was pretty 100% about failing it still hadn't hit me until you rang me up and told me (which I appreciate). It's gotten me down too...but we'll get through dude, we'll get through.
