I failled at school. Serious thread in eof

I post this in because, once again, eof is my home, but still be serious and dont mock me please

So, since july, i moved far away from my home city to study video game programming. But after failling multiple exam, i decided to give it up and to come back to my home city where all my family lives. Im reconsidering my entire life. For the next session of college, im considering studying in scenarisation.
I have multiple idea of scenario for video game and tv show that ive been improving over years
So there it is. Major changes in my life
I feel a bit depressed with that reality that video game programming isnt for me. Anyone wants to cheer me up?

Tldr : my life sucks

That's a bit of a bummer, I am also trying for an education in programming and although I'm successful at it I do see it a tad tedious at times, but I also do see the fun in it so I'm continuing.
If you want to continue studying for game related subjects then changing to scenarisation seems like a good idea to me. Many people expect to go to college knowing fully well what they want to study and have a major to study for; however, many people also find out that their desired major maybe wasn't the best decision and decide to change it during college. It is fine to find out if you are not suited for the specific education and decide to change to something that is more suited to your comfort and ability. Just don't give up in following your dreams that you try to achieve.

Errare humanum est.
You should just learn from it.
Reconsidering your life from what your learned and moving on with a new approach sounds right to me.
Good luck in life.
 
I could never do good in tests. Even after studying for them. I'm not stupid or anything my mind just can't stay focused on one thing. I forget things all the time to. So don't sweet it. I personally do better with hands on things. Reading,writing, and math are my weak suits. :/

School is hardly the only way to learn things, in fact it might even be a bad one in many ways.

Equally technology will probably bridge the gap at some point, if it does not already exist (you and I are presumably not terribly well to do but the communications we have here would have been incredible to have within my lifetime, never mind 100 years ago or even 300).

Actual advice though.
Can't you make a mod? A game in something like flash? Unity seems out there and able to play? There seem to be a thousand game makers too. Ideas are worth nothing, a working demo on the other hand.

You mentioned TV as well. Cameras are dirt cheap now, if it is animated then even better.

If you care to then what sorts of things were they trying to teach which you found yourself struggling with?

@FAST6191 actually, pretty much everything
to sum it up, i had 6 class
french and litterature
physical education
video game programming(C#)
programmer profession
algorythm
OS and hardware
for french and literrature it was fine,no awesome notes, but not bad either
physical education, I had Parkinson for a while and aftrer, my syndrome Gilles de la tourette kicked in due to medication changes, lot of tics
as for the others class, I succeeded at the beginning, but suddenly, the teacher started new stuff i never heard about and I failled hard
 
What a curious selection of subjects, though about what I have come to expect from North American education. On the other hand I can appreciate not having a bunch of lard arses for programmers and if game devs could tell stories we would have better games (plus probably the whole French Canada thing of try to stop the encroachment of English). Enough of my bemusement by the credits system though,

"I succeeded at the beginning, but suddenly, the teacher started new stuff i never heard about and I failled hard"
In most higher education/specialist education setups it tends to be that the first little while (up to around 2 months for the more specialist stuff, most of which is that list) is a refresher or levelling part of the course (people coming from different backgrounds, levels of education and similar need to be on the same page), after that they get onto the business of actually teaching you something. Such a thing would match the timeline, especially if you have that bizarre midterm test concept going on.
If they were being nice then they would have told you that and you could have braced for it. If they were not then it would have not only been "the business of actually teaching you something" but purposely harder to try to get rid of people (I would do the full metal jacket quote of "My orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Corps" but actually I will leave it at that).
 
I mean, if you really like it, you should try more, even if you think you can't succeed. Eventually, you will reach your desired goal
 
Well... if i go back to my home city instead of staying here for next session its because of financial matter. Why? Because this first class occurs only in fall. Im not going to pay for my appartment for 6 month and sign a new location contract just to re-realise its not for me... you understand now?
 
still not confirmed
appart owner might have find a new locator, bugt he hasnt visited yet, so i dont know if he will take it or not
if they dont find any, ill have to stay far away from my family, for another 6 month :(
 
Have that: you can find tutorials online, or books that have the subject you want to study
Start by reading something educational, that is still inside what you want to do.
Don't read it all just to say "haha i finished a book", take your time to understand what it says.
Then try to challenge yourself based on your knowledge. Don't be strict, again, give time to yourself. If you see that you can't cope with it, stop for a day or whatever you feel comfortable with and then retry.
After succeeding, continue.
Repeat the steps till you reach your desired goal
???
Profit
 
I did the same ironically. Minus the actual fail part, though I had a lot more stress than I needed. I was studying games development. Honestly, the only reason game devs do this course is to flash a bit of paper around, this bit of paper doesn't mean much for anything else however. I'd just say, if you want to keep your dream then you gotta do it yourself.
