Accept that you can't change the past and prepare for your future.

While there is life there is hope and this setback doesn't mean the end of the world.

Do you want this type of thing to happen again? Do you want to feel the type of pain and disappointment your feeling now again?

If not use that energy and will to never let something like this happens again and work and plan towards your future.

If you're writing again next year use this gap year to train and work on yourself.

These are my thoughts. I wish you all the best!

You will have to get used to scenarios like this, it is part of experience

thank you sir

you are depressed because you are comparing your self to your friends
find your true goal and pursue it without trying to measure it with that of your peers and you would discover how happy you would become

Comparing yourself to your mates will make you more depressed. Accept who you are and work towards been better for yourself. Don't compete with anybody.

At 17 and you are already depressed?? See i finished secondary school at age 16 as one of the best but i got admission into University at age 21/22 many of my peers that are even below me academically are able to get admission and even graduate during that period still yet i am not move. you know why?? [/color]i know i have a different life[color=#000000] your problem is you are comparing yourself with your mates. learn something of your interest and stop comparing yourself. the skill i learn during those period is what i am using to sustain myself in school now..
