Maybe for the cheer leaders and the jocks school and collage is the best years of your life but for everyone else it's a means to an end. I'm guessing your 21 (I'm in UK so school years in other countries confuse me) but the way science and healthcare are progressing you will probably life to between 90-100. If you have not enjoyed those 21 years then they are not the best years of your life. You've only lived for less than 20% of it!!!!

At 20 I dropped out of uni and returned home to live with parents. Thinking I was a great big loser I headed to the pub to drive my sorrows when I bumped into someone I known from primary school. She had just been dumped by her long term boyfriend and was drinking with her dad as she had no friends.

Long story short: We've all been friends for nearly 15 years now!! As well as all the other "losers" we accumulated along the way. There's about 16 of us now who all didn't succeed at life plan. But the last 10 years have definitely been the best years of my life - so far!!

You literally never know what round the corner.

And as for seeing a health professional and that going on your record, you need to talk to a doctor or social worker to clarify. It would be seen as illegal and prejudice in the U.K. For someone's employability to be judged on past medical and mental problems.
