Is giving up a bad thing?
Giving up, how frequently it is said it is a bad thing if you want to achieve something, goals, wishes. If this is the case why is it that women are not given the chance to grow and have to give up everything they like and stand for for the sake of a husband or child(ren)? And if not for them it's family and or the employer. Whatever they do it's rarely what they really like but part of how they are raised while being pushed into a certain direction. Of course, if you ask: What is it you really wanted, many can not answer this question. The reason is that you need to live, and develop yourself to figure it out. It's not like we are taught at school that at the age of 11 we should do what we want to be the rest of our lives. We can learn and do everything if the chance would be only given to look around, try out, and develop skills. Since that is what life is about. Developing us, growing us and if we do that the fulfillment we feel will reflect on others.
Giving up isn't bad. It's good to know what you want for you (it avoids being unhappy and grumpy) and it's good to recognise that a choice made that turns out to be a bad decision can be stopped or changed. Nothing is eternal and life is too short to do do what we dislike. The hours might pass by slow but the days and years pass by fast.

At times, people give up on things when they don't achieve the actual goal. Like, what's the need of putting efforts in things that are not worth it? For me, there are some things we should just do away with them, not because we didn't put in our best but because there isn't a change or probably reasons to hold on to it.

Thank you for the invitation.

Also a good reason to give up on whatever is put effort in. One should also know when to stop.

That's absolutely true

At 11 years old it's often too soon to decide what to do for the rest of life...

True, life doesn't go on dotted lines. We have to make amends as per the situation and if we have to change the line, that's not giving up!
