Shameful and shameless don't mean the same thing. A shameful act is one that ought to inspire a sense of shame in its author. If said person is shameless (brazen), however, it doesn't. As one of my affronted relatives once told me, many of the questions we address in this site(yahoo answers)are shameful sometimes. Luckily, we're shameless.

I don't believe that they do. To my understanding, shameful means full of shame, while shameless means to be without shame (generally for an act that the perpetrator SHOULD feel shame over).

Don't do it, its not the answer. One thing I noticed you have very high standards for yourself. Everyone wants to do well ino life and support their family. You need to take a step back and think about yourself. School will end someday and those people won't matter to you. You will get yourself a good job while half of the people at your school will probably turn into pot heads. You will meet someone when its your time to meet someone to love you for you. I know people who has a lisp and that doesn't mean anything at least you are still able to talk. School is hard especially when your from a different country but those people are ignorant. Go to school get your head back into gear and ask for help at school with your work. That teacher that teased you report them. Counsellors will not tease you they are there to help. Go see them and take it from there. One day at a time thats what i did. Imagine how your family would feel got get news that you had taken your life. Someone close to me not that long ago took their life and I'm still grieving, its the people you leave behing that live a lifetime of hell. School is hard it really is but if you can look beyond school and remember why you went there at the start to do well for your life and make your family proud. If your finding your course hard maybe your doing the wrong course maybe there is something else you would like to do. Don't let your family pressure you. I used to hear the same from my family about other people doing well while I was left very young as a single parent I felt like ending it too, no life, no friends, no money just me and my daughter. I pulled through it and you can too. Just make yourself happy again those people won't matter when you leave university. Talk to someone they won't laugh they are there to help. You must be a very smart guy to get into university I would never have gotten there. You are smart, loveable guy there is not many people out there that would want to provide for their family ( good on you ) that shows your a kind person. Don't do anything stupid try to look beyond university and someday you will be laughing at them. I'm am really sorry that you have to go through this pain alone all because of ignorant people. I hope you don't do anything stupid. Keep your head up and be proud. Take care & God Bless xx

I don't think they do.
I think shameless is something you feel ashamed of something you have already done
And
Shameless is a person that has no shame regardless if they have done it or about too.

I think "they" were trying to drive the concept home, as in "there is no escaping shame in any form"
