Hello, i am 15 years old......my 10th result just came out and i got 97%......actually i have always been a topper since i was small but in 9th i started getting bored of always studying and i got tired .....so i started drifting away from studies.....my grades dropped continously......and when the results came for 10th boards.....i have scored less than many people that i know were not toppers rather some were even below average.....my parents are really disappointed and are telling me that if i would have gone to classes for subjects, i would have gotten better marks......i didn't go to any classes in 10th standard for studies.....because i was very tired of constanty trying to be the best.....now i have joined coaching for NEET preparation to give neet in 2027......i really want to get the best attitude and marks back which i lost and became a phone addict......i want to show the world that i can do it.....i want to be successful......pls guide me.....i didnt tell this to my parents because i am really dissapointed in myself.....pls help
Ans: Hello, dear friend.
First of all, congratulations on scoring a fantastic 97% in 10th grade! Now, forget all your worries, problems, and what your parents and others are saying. Don't compare yourself to your friends who scored higher than you in 10th grade. If you are a hard worker, then there’s no need to worry; hard work always pays off. Your upcoming target is to crack NEET with a high score. Focus more on the syllabus for NEET, and aim to achieve what you feel you missed in 10th grade. You're not the only one who is a phone addict; many others are more addicted to their phones. Schedule your time to use your phone for a limited period to help overcome the addiction. It’s always better to share your feelings with your parents if they understand you well and create a comfortable dialogue between you and them. There’s no need to feel disappointed at this early stage. 10th grade is not the end of life. Many people who failed in 10th grade went on to build their empires. Be courageous and give your best to the upcoming NEET examination. Set a target of 700+ and prove that HUM BHI KISISE SAM NAHI. Best of luck for your bright future!
