I am under severe stress

playcold

Basically I had several repeats last autumn from third year of my degree, unfortunately I failed them and had to repeat the year but I lied to my mother telling her that I had passed them because I couldn't face telling her the truth, I thought originally that I could hide it from her. I was on the grant and she was kinda depending on me giving her some of the money from my grant but I have no money whatsoever and because of this I am under severe stress.

I don't know what to do. I hate telling her because it will break her heart.

Two things:

1. You're going to have to explain the extra year in college sooner or later - it's not going to go away so you may as well get it over and done with now and move forward with getting the year over you, rather than having the stress of it hanging over you for the next year (and possibly contributing to you failing again).

2. Your grant is for your education only, and even then it's just enough to scrape by at times. I'm not sure what arrangement you have with your mother over this but college is hard enough, without that kind of financial burden hanging over your head. Maybe you should also use the opportunity to discuss this with your mother?

Tell her straight away for two reasons

- if she is expecting money from you she may spend other funds without realising that nothing will be forthcoming
- while she may be disappointed the last thing she will want is you putting yourself through the stress of all this alone

I'm assuming your out for a year, take stock try get part time work , you can still help her out. The most important thing you can do for your mental health is tell her the truth

Try not to worry to much , before you know it you will be back on track

Dows it not cost E7,500 to repeat a year.

Where did this money come from?
