Hi everyone. It has been awhile.

I've just sat for my finals. And there is a high possibility I am going to fail out of my school. With the passing grade being higher than usual (partial thanks to the student cohort), I have no one to blame but myself for not seeing that I was well and truly prepared. Contemplated suicide but I don't wish it upon my family and friends.

So, after having this talk with my parents, who are saying "wait and see", I have no idea to go about my general direction in life.

Well. Sort of. It's a matter of how do I approach my parents with the idea of letting me take a year off to do Twitch streaming.

And if that does not work out, I'll go back and do either a course in English (end goal is becoming a school counsellor but who needs that here in Malaysia right?), Business and Marketing (take over the family business, who knows, I might get to travel), Culinary Arts, Computer Science or something to do with Health and Sciences again (woohoo...)

Yes, yes. I know. Which parent is going to let their child play video games for a year? Well, not most Chinese Malaysian parents that is for sure.

Which is why I was wondering if anyone had a good way to approach this? My parents did say that now that I'm 21 I have to make my own choices but I know that there is no way in hell I'll be able to escape their influence.

TL;DR
Possibly flunked school. Thinking about streaming. Not sure how to tell parents. Need help.

GLHF and
