Student Writes:

Hi Loy , I am  a student studying in Dubai . we haven't talked before but i'm an esteem viewer of your YouTube videos.Lot has been going through late;y since its my last year in school (senior) i always thought being a student and growing up to be studying in a school would make you stronger but its actually made me weak and sad ..
5 years back i was an outstanding student , i played sports . competed well with other students , featured in the newspaper and won many prizes.but as i grew up i understood life , its not what it seems loy, i had dreams and my parents said follow them . i have a dream to go abroad and study and i always kept it and now i know the reality it wouldn't work because im not financially stable , even if i was i couldn't because as i grew up i understood the people around me , they would mind boggle my parents minds and tell them how a person would get spoiled going abroad but what they actually mean is they don't want me to do better than their son or daughter.

As i grew up i lost everything my confidence especially , i look at the students who caught their chances and flew away while im sitting in the bench where no one walks by
im studying subjects which im not interested and in that case obviously  im not doing so well either but everyday i put in my best skip classes study day and night to score good but it still doesnt happen i end being a  person always below others ,a good for nothing who looks up at his peers for help , im even losing my self respect . my father is hardworking person , he works just for me and seeing him work hard and not get what he deserves makes me cry ,and i end thinking am i going to be like him? i lie down everyday with tears and telling to myself 'WHY ME'
why cant i be smart?
why cant i be productive ?
why cant i be successful and go anywhere i like without the money factor?
why cant i do anything i like?
my father even called me useless when he got frustrated and later apologized but i know that hes been keeping that inside him for a long time 
im a useless a good for nothing but i still have the desire to be successful i dont why , i want to be the best , go around places and make my parents and most importantly myself proud

i witting this to you because i finally found the courage to , i really respect what youre doing loy . keep it up
i have a lot of Friends Loy trust me but i cant trust anyone because all what y friends care is how popular you are , how good looking and how you mingle with the ladies .im not any of that i am who i am but i cant take it , i dont want to live in place like this where people think just about fame and popularity , why cant be ourselves?
i was joyful boy when i was small i used to come home run out with my friends and have a really good time now im become sad and vain , seems like no one cares and i feel lifes a script you have to be who youre meant to be no matter how hard you work you end up with whats wriiten 
i am a person who has contemplated suicide.. but you have changed my mind with your videos and words 
i hope someday people would look up to me and someday i  could offer my family things i couldnt .

Thankyou for even opening this message 
with love,
your viewer :)
