Honestly, my friend, this sounds like a problem with internet pornography, and internet addiction. You probably skipped over that crucial bit of information, when conveying your story. As a teenage boy myself, there is a tantalizing urge I have every day to bury myself in copious amounts of erotica, and hide under the sheets of my bed. Let go of this addiction (if it’s not porn, it’s an addiction to the internet), and you will find that you have regained your passion for life, your future goals, and learning in general. The year’s not over buddy. I’m exactly where you are, but the only difference is I’m learning to wean myself of the tech, porn and social media and I’m slowly piecing myself together.
Take a digital fast. Do not use your device for 7 days, at least. If you have withdrawal symptoms, you’re definitely addicted. Slowly get rid of your device, using it only for the menial requirements, or when they’re needed (printing, coming on BoS, past-papers, notes)
Be honest with your parents. Their ‘unrealistic’ expectations are mildly justifiable. Tell them you’re struggling. Even if they’re harsh and demanding, they at least deserve to know you’re having a hard time.
Remember, what your going through will continue in uni, whether you’re doing Med at UNSW, or (God forbid!) studying at Southern Cross university, if you don’t address it
YOU CANNOT CRAWL INTO A SHELL, AND SHUT OUT THE WORLD!
If life gives you lemons, squeeze them into the eyes of the people who doubt you, mock you, and put you down. You owe it to yourself to live the life you want.
Life’s to short to be dick. Don’t let you inner turmoil cause you to snap at you parents.
Hang in there man. I believe in you. You and I, we’ll get through this.
