Learn to be truthful to your parents, you can talk to your mum if you're scared of your dad. Go home and explain to them.

Don't feel like you're the black sheep cos you can't gain admission in school.

Stay strong

I know I shouldn't feel like a black sheep because of I didn't get admitted, there's more to life than the university. I feel like I haven't found my purpose in life

I'm a 22 years old boy who's been constantly torn apart from within, I have always been seen as the black sheep in the family, I mean everything I do comes back to haunt me. I finished secondary school 2013, took Jamb but didn't get through, then 2015 came and got a pre-degree form for Adekunle ajasin University located in Ondo. I scaled through the exams, got admitted but I need was to pass Jamb for the same year. I didn't make the cut off.
  I was so ashamed of myself but I believed I still had time, so I came up with a lie, what I was going to do was pretend I actually got admitted to the school, then with the money given to me, I would get another Jamb, pass it and be a student...
  Unluckily for me, I got found out by my cousin in school who told my family, now they are requesting for my matric number and password, which I don't have. I'm too deep in the lie to say the truth because I know I'm most likely going to be disowned (my dad has made that clear). Now I'm thinking about cutting ties, staying in school and try to come up with some money so I can really be in school and study.. only then can I tell them what happened.. I don't know, I'm pretty confused and would be grateful to any advice, I'm lost but I'm hoping to find my way..

I understand what you're going through bro, but the advice I have is this, tell the truth. Go and explain everything to your mother first, then she will soften your dad's heart. Yes it will be tough, yes it will be heartbreaking but it is necessary. Living a lie becomes unbearable in the long run.
As for admission, place Jesus first and study as hard as you can. There are diamonds buried within you. Just believe!

I'll advice u to follow ur heart, leave home... Go to school.. Start doing yahoo yahoo... Get the money, fuckkk some uni girls till you fade... Party until u off.
Save some of the proceeds from yahoo

After 4years just get your parents new rides each then pay for a certificate in your school and follow the set going for nysc.

That's what u should do.
Sense will surely not kill me.
If u want to thank me for this advice... Pls tell me so I'll send my account number.

Simple , tell the truth and there’s no more burden . The thing is they can’t kill you , they will only talk talk , scream, insult you that’s all they can do . Tell your parents you want to go to noun university at least with that one u don’t need admission, try and look for small hustle to do to be supporting your self while in the school cos u don’t need to be there all the time . Even if it’s learning a trade, doing internship in companies and getting paid little money .

Go home,tell your parents the truth... When telling them be sure you have an alternative in case they disown you. Work on gaining admission next year by all legitimate means.

Once you get admitted send the details to them....

They already know and just waiting for you to approach them. It is better to learn a skill, apply for part-time course and stop wasting your time bro.

You don't need any advice.....

make decision as a man and find your path.

finally Close your doors, commit ur problems to God, cast ur worries, failures, fears and defeat at his feet and I assure you he will direct your path.

You make poor decisions, that’s your problem. You need to start hanging around school geeks. Confide in your mother, beg her to help you find your way and you should learn to be obedient too.

First things first,

DON'T COMMIT SUICIDE. no matter how bad it gets.

Tell them the truth, no matter whose ox is gored.

Whatever comes out of it, Chart your own legitimate course and not that expected by your parent

Make up your mind to be successful

Wishing you the best in advance

Just open up


Your dad saying he will disown you is just word of mouth.



He loves you more than no one else

His pains and bitterness are born out of love

Just open up as it is

Go back home and face your parents about what's going on with you. No be today fathers don dey disown. He only said that to make you behave, but this situation is way over, go back home and face the music. Trust me, you'll be fine eventually. And you'll be able to chart the right course for your life. If that school is still hungrying you to go at least go learn a vocation somewhere while schooling.

Be honest with them. If you are too scared to talk to your father, then go through your mum. The cycle of lies will destroy you. Therefore, break the cycle and be free.

You can equally talk to someone your father respects first. Then, that person would know how to speak to your parents.

Re: I'm 22 Years Old And A Burden On My Family, I'm Thinking Of Leaving Home. by apprentist(m): 2:09pm On Jun 12, 2018
Bro, all these tings you are saying is just tales o. More time spent and you getting older. First, you need to figure yourself out and know what you are good at. And then go for it no matter what people (even your parents) say. Because at the end, they'd leave you to to face your life. We were all liabilities to our parents at some point. Some break out early, many leave at their late 30s.

1. Figure out what you find easy or fun to do. That one thing that you can spend day to dawn repeating without loosing interest. Mine is Teaching.

2. Get involved in doing those (or that) thing even if its for free or stipend pay.

3. Do you need certificate to do this thing? Ask around if need be. because in the end, that skill or expertise would be your saving grace when certificates fail you.

4. And yes, you must open up to your parents. They have to know you for who you really are and not what you are trying to portray to them.

5. Live life, make mistakes, correct and learn from them but try surviving no matter what. And try not to grow old on your butt. Ensure each day leaves you as a better person.
