DB Design - Users Table

this maybe a common scenario. there are various types of users with different data stored abt them (different columns) so do i leave it that way? i think combining them will cause NULLs right for the columns that dont apply?

but in the application how shld i implement login?
1. Different Forms
2. Same Forms with a dropdown for users to specify the type of login
3. Same form but in application i "try" to login with 1 table followed by the other? (eg. try login 'Parents', 'Teachers', 'Admins' tables 1 by 1?)
