davo_hurn: How to tell my parents I’m an alcoholic, addicted to gambling and have failed 2nd year Uni?
As above, I really don’t know what to do with myself.I received my results 2 weeks ago and can’t bring myself to tell them. They already know that I like a drink, and have bailed me out before from gambling. I’m seriously at a whits end, and contemplating a way forward. At the minute suicide seems like the best option!

You mean your percentage overall 2nd year was a Fail or one or two courses?

If I failed 2nd year I would be kicked out of university or if i got less than a 73% in my chemistry courses (my major) i would be kicked out, very very likely. But, if I failed one course I would take it in the summer and try to pass.

Tell your mom and dad because they will be more pissed off the later you tell them. Study hard and get help (help with alcohol and gambling first). If the Dean wants to kick you out, explain the situation, my friend failed first year and the Dean was going to kick him out, but told him that he was an alcoholic and somehow stayed in. He had a 46% 1st year. But second year he got a 86%
and 88% third year. So he has a 2.88 gpa. Around 72% average.

IF HE DOES WELL 4TH YEAR HE COULD GET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR PHARMACY SCHOOL (3.00 GPA+).
