They told me to enter the Science stream so that I could pursue my education in medicine. When my SPM results did not meet the criteria to do medicine, my parents constantly told me how disappointed they were in me. I was shattered. I put in so much effort so that I could achieve good grades. I talked to them, explaining how their words and actions towards me have caused me stress. I even asked them to send me for therapy as my mental health was getting worse. I needed help and I asked them for it.
Our parents are our foundation, we look up to them, and we want to please them. When they tell us we're not good enough, we believe them. We suffer. Please know that you're a good person, whether you get As or Bs or Cs or whatever. It's your heart that matters, not what some bit of paperwork says or what job you hold.You are very young and under a lot of stress. If you learn to manage and reduce your stress, many of your issues will become much more manageable. Some will disappear.Please call one of the numbers above and make an appointment. Tell them you are depressed, self-harming, and at risk of suicide.
Adults who laugh at their child who is self-harming and bulimic should attend counselling or take a parenting course. If you have younger siblings, I hope someone in authority steps in and forces change.
