My younger sister , 18 is in her first year second semester of undergrad , Biomed major. Seems like she passed first semester but I know she said by a hair and that was challenging. She’s often calling me crying about she’s going to fail out almost all her classes. Says she goes to her car to cry after exams. Calls herself dumb cause she’s at risk of failing her “easy” psych101 pre-req. Is borderline starting to say some suicidal things like how she’s so dumb she should die.
My advice’s been to study everyday in the future , can still retake bad grades just need a C average to stay in school , and to maybe switch to something easier.
Also upset cause she wanted to go work for some possible big name companies and now she’ll never qualify. Lowkey want to tell her forget about that and focus on passing and then get any job that pay the bills at that point. Like not saying give up on your dreams but take a different path.
She also did this out of state college competition with her school club which she had fun but imo she shouldn’t have went cause it set her behind school work a whole week.
Lives at home where our parents are constantly fighting so I think she often goes to the library to study. Also don’t think she has any college friends and her hs friends are all drifting away/drama.
She’s reaching out to me cause I’m the eldest and the only one who’s went to college but I’m really not good in these situations. My major wasn’t as hard as hers and I’m actually going back to school myself for a bachelors so I’m coming off as heartless cause I have my own stress
I just never seen this side of her, what else am I supposed to say or do? Or advice for her?
