  • I was in a similar situation to yours. K-12 was easy enough that I did well on test and assignments without ever having to develop good study skills.

    So, naturally, when I got to college, I was woefully unprepared to cope. I was at a small institution where 90% of the student body was an academic overachiever in high school, so there were few enough students like me that the university didn’t have a dedicated tutoring place where one could pick up some study skills. Combine that with possible undiagnosed ADD and mental health problems, and it’s a wonder I managed to graduate.

    Parents: “son its ok if you’re gay, we know its hard being different in a small town like this but youre still our child and we will always love you no matter what”

    Me: “mom, dad, i’m not gay.”

    Mom: “really? you sure about that?”

    Dad: “you’ve literally never had a girlfriend and would be the only straight guy in town who hasnt. hell even most of the gay kids have had a beard at some point.”

    Me: “i’m not gay… i’m just horribly depressed and have zero self esteem.”

    Mom: “shit. whoops. i suppose we better find you a therapist then.”

    Me: crawls into a hole and dies of embarrassment
