Dear Thelma: ‘The only thing I can think about is dying’

Dear Thelma,

I'm in Form Five this year and will be sitting for SPM. I feel stressed out just thinking about the examination. I worked really hard for all my Form Four examinations, but there wasn’t much improvement. I feel depressed and how it’s all so unfair as others who are naughty and don’t seem to pay much attention during lessons, get higher marks than I do. I feel useless and am considering suicide. However, I’m a timid person. Every time I think of ending my life, I won’t take any action because I’m scared to die.
