I failed out of college in december of 2014 i never did tell my mom but now it is january 2015 and it is time to go back to school and i dont have the courage to tell her i failed out. I have tried talking to her to tell her that college just isnt for me and that i want to stop for awhile and get a job but shes not having it. My mom is a single parent and she really does need help with paying bills and i have told her if i get a job i could help her but she dosent want my help. Ive tried coming up with some of the things i could tell her but i just cant get it out. The only way i can get back in school if i pay my own way but we dont have the money for it idk what to do and shes constantly asking when do i start back school. i need answers im in a wreck.
You have to tell your mom what happened. There’s really nothing else you can do at this point.
i was dreading that answer but i kinda figured it.
Also try to figure out what went wrong and why.
Did you not go to classes?
Did you not see the professor when you were struggling?
Did you not monitor your grades?
Also tell your mom your new plan.
I would tell your mom ASAP. Considering she is anticipating that you are going to be heading back. May I ask why you failed out? Due to hard classes or do you just not want to go to school? If you just do not want to go to college then get a job and see how you do. I will tell you that when I was younger I went to college and failed out as well. Thought college was not for me. Many years later after getting married and having children did I decided I should have finished college. So I went back and got my degree as an R.N. But getting a degree while having a family is a lot harder. Just be honest and your mom and see where life takes you. Good luck.
Better have that job in hand when you tell her.
Failing out was probably a sign of immaturity.
Neglecting to tell mom right away was another.
Time to grow up. Tell her tonight. Don’t expect it to be pleasant; she isn’t going to be happy about being deceived for the past few weeks-- more than that, as you knew you were in the process of failing, but certainly since you got your grades in December.
But tell her tonight.
For all you know, she’s already sent in money for the spring semester.
Tell her tonight.
Good luck.
