Thinking about committing suicide because of a low GPA in my major

June 26, 2017 5:57 PM

I just graduated from college with my Bachelors in Anthropology. I ended up with only a 3.6 GPA in my major because I received a C+ in Osteology and a B in Archaeological Theory and Methods. I received As in all other anthropology courses.

I am very disappointed because I am planning to go to graduate school for archaeology and I think that I will never get into a Master's program with a 3.6 Anthropology GPA. I am interested in studying Mesoamerican archaeology in graduate school and I want to do research or fieldwork in this area before applying to Master's programs. I am thinking about killing myself this summer because I don't have a 4.0 in my major. I feel like I ruined my future career as an archaeologist because of two bad grades. I feel like suicide is my only option, but my parents are not letting me kill myself because they think that my life is more important than grades. How can I convince them to let me commit suicide?
