I have a friend who is not joining us in the review classes because she failed in one of our subjects.
I did not ask her of the details because I know not passing a subject is stressful, anyways, I wonder how she told her family that she did not graduate and is not taking the board exam.
Have you experiences such? How did you tell your parents? Who was the person you talk to?

If I were her,I think wether I talk to my mother or father it is all right.Parents are our most pro-people.Whatever you did,they never heart you,they are really for the sake of you.So just tell them the truth,there is nothing to worry about.I think they will understand me.

I have experienced that. But it was not me having difficulties, it was my younger brother.
He asked me to help him out with our parents. I gave him my support with the understanding that he should be ready of the consequences.
He was brave enough with the consequences.

It becomes difficult to tell our parents if we fail them. We often do not pay attention till it is too late and then there is no point in repenting. I think swhe should take the help of some close friend to break the news to her parents. It is essential that she tells her parents as it will come as a big shock to them if she delays beyond a certian time and they will not be able to pardon her.

i did have such a problem but not to this extent. i mean, my friend failed in one of her subjects, but i gave her my full support, and also helped her take it a bit lightly so that she would not sink under her depression. but there was an advantage to this that she didn't have to repeat the whole year, she just had to write the paper again in the next year... there are times when i feel she might be feeling sorry for herself and not show it, but the thing is, i never let her go on her self-pity trip...
happy myLotting

Oh, when friends begin to pity themselves, i tend to just annoy them and play devil's advocate.
