Why are exams so important, are they really more important than my life?

Edit:
I will leave this post up here so that others in the future who have exam pain can see that exams are not everything in life.

Are you saying that you only have two choices? Pass your exams or die?

Those are not “life’s” choices. They are what YOU have decided for yourself.

So undecide!

Do your very best, be proud of doing your best and then if anyone criticises your score remind yourself that they clearly do not have any understanding of the reality of your accomplishments.

Be happy with what you achieve not miserable with what you don’t.

Now get yourself a cup of tea, go back to your studies and focus on calm. Only when you are calm can you do your best work.

Why are exams so important, are they really more important than my life? I guess to an Asian parent it is.
If I fail a course do I have to die? Do I have to bleed to death? Are exam results, just a number, really that important? I contemplated suicide so many times yet still fought my way through. Today has been the real point where I realized my dad thinks exams are more important than my life and my mum doesn’t even care that I might kill myself. I guess I’m all alone, I’m hardly loved anyway.

Edit: thank you to those who helped me out by giving me words of comfort.
