Am 21 would have graduated next year if l had'nt dropped out last year. I could'nt pass my math courses in economics and did'nt have any real friends kind of hated economics because l did'nt get to choose it. got really depressed,had some serious anxiety/ sucide thoughts blah blah. Stopped going to class eventually withdraw from the school went for counselling and know am past all that. now am back at a different school .infact the biggest university in southern africa except l don't really like being here,most of my courses feel like a waste of time. L just really hate the university life.half the time l feel like dropping out again though l try not to think about that . Got to work as a shop manager when l dropped out and l liked the job though it did'nt pay well. My question what's wrong with me l feel very selfish seeing that my parents are paying for my education and l feel like l don't want it. L don't want to waste anymore of their money and am scared l might not be able to graduate and drop out again because l can't shake feeling like a failure & don't like being here & sometimes l start getting depressed again. am in first year now

You need to finish your education. It really doesn't matter if you like being there. Just finish.

I'll tell you what is wrong...your parents are paying for your education and you're taking advantage of it since you have no skin in the game. I bet you'd be more motivated if it was your money on the line.
