I regret taking a drop for JEE.

Saw a post of a suicidal girl on this sub. That is why I think it's important to share this. Jab mai drop ke bare me soch rahi thi there were no negative opinions on it. Sab keh rahe the worth it hoga. Not a single post mentioning how taking a drop for something you don't even like, something which you are doing just because you are unsure and think you have 'potential' can be disastrous. Yes you have a potential but not necessarily in jee. You need to examine your strengths and your inclinations before choosing any career. I DO NOT RECOMMEND TAKING A DROP FOR JEE. Here's my story I am a dropper and I joined a coaching to prepare for jee. I never actually prepared for it seriously while in 11th and 12th and thought of giving it a shot. From the very first day I did not feel motivated and felt I don't belong there.There were many students like me,confused and unsure. It didn't take me long to realize that I am on the wrong path, and it's slowly eating me up.Yes I want a good job,money,prestige everything but I can't make a career choice solely based on that.Every single day in coaching was hell for me.I could not share my feelings to anyone. One day I came back from coaching and just cried and cried because that was my breaking point. Mom and dad, mai jee ke liye nhi bani hu. Mujhse nhi hoga. I felt so insecure, worthless and useless. That phase was the hardest.Told this to my mom after crying alone in my room for 4 hours straight. Couldn't hold back my tears while telling this to her.I cried my heart out and told her,mummy ab mujhse nhi ho paega ye. I am not that smart. Please forgive me. Surprisingly she understood me. That day I felt like the luckiest girl in this world. I told her how much I loved psychology and I always wanted to pursue it. Now I am preparing for cuet for psychology. JEE is not the right path for everyone let's just say it out loud.Na jane kitne log honge iss subreddit pr jinhone suicide kiya hoga. Jee is not the only path available. Fight fight and fight to do what you want to do in your life.You have to spend your 40 years doing this thing not your parents, not the society, not the relatives. So choose what you love deeply and are willing to do anything for it. This is how we get the top rankers of JEE .They love what they are studying and are willing to do anything for it.
