I am in Std X. In my first unit test I got low marks in Geography while in the other subjects I got very good marks. I usually share everything with my sister but whenever I say anything about studies, about how I got low marks, she always says, “You always sit in front of the TV and computer, that’s why your marks are low”, in a way that hurts me a lot. She never says anything encouraging to me. I feel like no one is there for me. I’m sad, depressed, lost and lonely.
Whenever faced with some criticism or correction you should not get upset, hurt or feel “depressed, lost and lonely”. The first thing you have to do is to honestly ask yourself if you deserve that criticism, at least in part. If so, you should be grateful to the person who has helped you to find the reason for your failure and work hard to correct your mistakes. If, on the contrary, the criticism is totally undeserved, ignore it. Continue to share everything with your sister and also with your parents, because they do care for you and love you. It is not true, as you write, that “no one is there for me”.
