Is it normal to feel life isn't worth living?

Sigh. Well, to be honest, thinking about life has been a certain hobby of mine for quite some time now although thinking about it normally just brings about sadness instead. I guess I just feel so hopeless right now.

Just a little background information: So.. I'm currently 18 years old and studying at a college. One semester has passed, and my GPA is terribly low. This wouldn't bother me so much if I do not live in such a competitive country(yes, Asian). Because of it I have been exploring possible options and the most realistic case for me right now would be to study abroad, in a foreign land. Hell, I thought it would be easy to do so since I only have family here in my country but lately as I was reviewing it, a great surge of sadness just overwhelmed me instead. A man, not known to be patriotic of his own nation, suddenly having feelings for it? I lack friends in many aspect, and the girl I like is in a very, very complicated situation right now since a classmate, who has also become a friend of mine, just suddenly confessed to her only to be shot down.

My rambling has gone on long enough. Perhaps it was just something I needed to get off my chest. Feeling so lost in the world right now, just wishing that my parents hadn't decided to get a 3rd child (me). The meaning of my existence has always been on my mind, suppressed by my actions of constantly trying to interact with people. Well, it's at its limits. What's the death of one person out of 7 billion aye? Especially on a small planet in just 1 nebula compared to thousands discovered, and millions more undiscovered.

    Well if you aren't dead, poll creator. We all have this thought at least once. But the thing is society is the reason why we think that way. People are famous and rich and they make expectations none of us can reach. We question our existence because of how small our problems look from life itself. We have lots potential yet we just have to reach the start of it.

    Don't worry about anything. you are thinking too much. first of all stop so much thinking and do something, the best way to get rid of all these things in mind is get involved in your hobbies. DO something that you like the most, and i bet you will forget all these stuff in no time, just don't keep ur brain empty, just don't let him relax, give him something to do. And now after reading this don't think about anyother stuff, just do it....

    You're not alone. A lot of people feel that way at your age. The fact is that you are too young to have found a purpose or to have found something that will bring you fulfillment in life. Giving up now would be ludacris (ok FUCK YOU Google Chrome, I spelled that right), because believe it or not, you are still really young and just starting out.

    That's why people work and have sex, hobbies, sport and tv. So they don't think. Thinking will lead you to the truth, the truth will cause despair.

    Work gives the illusion of purpose.

    Sex gives the illusion of continuity.

    "idle hands are the devils plaything".

    Don't do anything stupid. Life is short and will soon end of its own accord anyway.

    Who knows, you might just have some fun times between now and then.

    A lot of what you're feeling is normal, but remember that all life is precious, even if you can't see it yet. Every single screw in a giant space station is vital. Things will get better, and you'll see how you fit in in a vital way to the whole world. A year abroad is very common and often a very uplifting experience.

      But we're all not part of a giant space station, are we? Earth is like a shiny pebble on a sandy beach. Take away that pebble, is it the same beach? Yes.

      The universe will change if Earth disappeared, but only slightly. Your concept would only apply if Earth was 'everything that existed'. Even then, Earth will still rotate if one person out of billions killed himself? Many people die every day.

      Not saying life is hopeless, just that the universe isn't based on US specifically.
