This story is dedicated to all those students who feel like they're not good enough for this world because of a bad grade. Why talking about this topic? Because in my country a student has commited suicide because she "failed in studying". Surely, the school system has failed in countless ways as well, but this time, in this story, I am not going to put the blame on something bigger than us for the umpteenth time, actually, I won't put the blame on anyone, I'll just invite some people to think hard about what they do and the consequences of their actions. I'm writing this as a person who values studying: indeed, studying has priority over anything else for me, as it's the only way to reach my goals... but this doesn't mean it's THE priority. There are several other things that are just as important as studying, your family is a great instance. No matter what problem you may face, death is never the solution, it's the exact opposite: not only you are running away from your problem, you are running away from your life, while ruining the lives of those who love you. Most students compare themselves to those people who have been called exceptional by social medias and think they'll never be like them. Do not try to to please others with your performances, be the best version of yourself for you, because whatever you may do, regardless of how well you do it, someone will be there to criticize you; you can try to change that person's mind, but then someone else will stand ready to do the exact same thing over and over again; this is no way of living. Don't make the majority's pleasure your reason to live. Do not compare yourself to someone else, make a comparison with your past self and see if you've become better; and if you haven't, then become it; and if you can't on your own, it's fine, because just like it's impossible to be loved by everyone, it's impossible to be loved by no one. Ask for someone's help, but never, NEVER end your life because of a mere number. That number doesn't depict your entire existence.
There is so much more I would like to say, but as of now I can't find the right words... I've never been good with words anyway. Also, I apologize if some parts of the article are unclear, english isn't my first language, I'm willing to discuss about this topic in the comments if you want.
