I (19M) failed an exam from my last semester at university. The year I spent studying was pretty awful, and I had planned to give up and drop out in the first semester. However, my parents convinced me to stay; and said that they’d contribute to some of my living expenses. In the end it costed them about 1500$ (NZD), but by the end I hadn’t changed my mind about dropping out. I did the best I could in my exams, but going in I knew I just didn’t understand the material.
I’ve been living with them until I find a job, and things have been rough. They keep asking to see my exam results, and I keep telling them that I know I failed so there’s no point. I know what will happen if I show them; they’ll turn it into a lecture and blame me for not working hard enough.
They pointed out how I essentially wasted their money, and that I’m continuing to use their money by living with them. And they’re right, so I can’t help but feel like a bad son. It’s weighing on me a lot, so I want to get some perspective.
AITA?
INFO:
You already told them that you failed, and you are clearly not currently doing university. I don’t understand why showing them the actual paper stating that you failed would make such a big difference to you or them.
