i don't know what to do. i have just failed my year 12 exams. people tell me that there is other things i can do. other things i can try. but no i can't. i believed that i had good capabilities of getting through year 12 which i thought to have lead to a good life. ii have failed my life. my future has been ruined. i cant do what i want to do. so it has been over 6 months since i have finished school. i haven't moved from my bed i have been so down lately. people is like " come on Kara get out if bed you aren't making our self any better." but it finds that i had other mental health issues as well. i suffered majorly with depression and other family stuff has happened. which got to the point that i was so close to committing suicide. my mum convinced me to see someone. because my mother knew that if i didn't nothing would get better. so i decided to give in just for her sake. i didn't want to cause her any stress she has been through enough. i am glad i did because everything got better. i didn't have so much bottled up anymore. i started to be in a happier mood. i started to think more about my life. what other things i could do. that's when i realized that i wanted to help people just like me. i learnt that things do suck but without the bad things happening in life without the rough times there is no you. i learnt that just because you failed an exam doesn't mean that you failed your entire life. i learned that there is hope.
" thanks Tara for the wonderful story we thoroughly enjoyed that!." Oh my god these girls are in tears. see Tara smith! I thought to myself. see i didn't fail my life at all.
