[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This troll is probably the wounded redshirted poster who pops up to say his parents' decision to hold him back a year warped him for life.[/quote]

It's put heavy expectations on me.

If I don't meet the expectations discussed in articles like these, I'll seem like a failure, like I messed up. I would've been perfectly happy with a modest career and a modest lifestyle, but because I was redshirted, great things are expected of me. Why should I want that kind of pressure?[/quote]

I say this with all compassion: get yourself some counseling. Your life’s woes are not because you were redshirted. if your parents have unrealistic expectations, they would have had them whether you were redshirted or not. If you feel inadequate, there would have been another reason for you to feel inadequate, believe me. The year you started schooling is not the reason you are unhappy with your life.[/quote]
