7A Failure is never an option...or is it?


Failure is one of those things many people are afraid to do in their lives. This is because as a society we are taught that failure really is not an option. In school if you fail a test you are thought of as stupid. If you play a really bad game in a sport and your team loses you’re thought of as a failure. If you fall on your face because you tripped or something people call you a failure. Failure is one of those things people do not take lightly.
In my family failing a test was like the death sentence. It was a rule in my house that if you ever get an F on a report card that they would take my phone away. Knowing this I tried my hardest in high school. It always seems that with failure comes a big consequence. I think these consequences are very unnecessary. Sometimes you fail a test even when you study your butt off for days because you’re just bad at the subject. I know from experience that why you try really hard and you fail you feel really down and disappointed in yourself. Failure needs to stop being treated as a horrible thing.
My own person view on failure is that you can always learn from your mistakes. It is ok to fail every once in a while. If it is a very frequent habit though you should know you’re doing something wrong if you fail often. There are people in this world who just fail and that’s what they expect out of life. People who don’t expect success in their life I feel must be depressed all of the time. People who fail all the time I also feel must do it because they do not care about how people see them.
