Dear Auntie Agni,
I am a 20-year-old man from a middle-class family, living in a village. My father is a school teacher and he has always had very high expectations of me. He dreamed that one day I would become either a lawyer or a judge. Unfortunately, my academic performance has always been average. I completed my intermediate in 2025 but, due to my low marks, I could not secure admission in a good university for a law degree.

Because of this, I feel like I have disappointed my father and lost his respect. This feeling has made me extremely hopeless about my future. On top of that, I am struggling with smartphone addiction, which has affected my motivation even more. I feel stuck and unable to move forward, even though I desperately want to improve myself and rebuild my confidence.

Auntie, please guide me. How do I come out of this........
