Can't handle the pressure
my parents are forcing me to take science for my future but i dont have intrest at all. instead i want to go for arts and they say its useless and no scope in the future. i wanna do something that makes me happy.
@anonyCucumber6402 it's a struggle at times getting across our thoughts with parents :( is it possible for you to maybe sit them down and share why you don't wanna take up science, that you enjoy arts more, about your future plans etc so they can maybe try to understand your side better and not be so forceful with you
Or maybe a teacher or mentor could talk to them about the same? if they need more convincing 😅
your happiness matters and you should be allowed to make a choice for yourself <3
I understand your frustration... but the idea that a specific path will guarantee a future or something that is not necessarily true.... A person who follows that path often with little or no interest or aptitude for a subject or career often does not last long in jobs involved with this or stand out to even get jobs .... i have worked with people who followed a path based on there will be jobs / future in this and they were miserable at what they were doing and often subpar employees.
when you talk to then they may not see it and you may have not explained how many items could be included as "Arts" is a very wide term .
@anonyCucumber6402 Try to "fight/rebel/persuade" into getting arts if that's what you really want, but what's more important is, whatever happens, have the clarity of mind that will cause next to no regrets in the coming future.
Life will bring difficulties, in all areas, be it art or science, it's you perceive it that matters more...
i’m just so done. i don’t want to do anything anymore and feel alone
@Katiez14 Hello... if you'd like to talk, there's chats and listeners available, not many people will see it here, however I'm glad I read it.
I'm not a pro at this, I'm only a 13-year-old kid, but, if you want, you can talk to here too a bit by writing replies.
7Cups exists here to help you...
You can develop your own plan to do this slowly but surely. I know that it doesn't feel like it right now.
But the path to doing what your heart wants exists. It is just going to take some slow figuring it out.
We are here to support you. Come back here often and we can throw ideas around. How far are you into school right now? @anonyCucumber6402
I have parents who are super strict with certain stuff. I totally get that, although I do have the freedom to be who I want when I grow up, I have parents who force me into things and I don’t get a say. And if your parents are strict, there’s no way they’re gonna be able to be convinced. So I say agree with them and fake it till you make it to 18 years old and you’re out of their house, and then do what you want. It’s hard with stricter parents because fighting it makes everything worse. But don’t let that stop you from loving arts. Try to follow your dreams best you can until you are old enough to have your own say in education. That’s my advice, and I hope it helps :)
@anonyCucumber6402 I'm not sure what to say sorry sweetie 😢 so I'm just gonna give you a giant tiny hug ❤❤
Hi. I'm so sorry that you have to go through this. Parents should never force you to study what you don't want. It's your life after all not theirs. I'm sorry I don't have any advice but I hope it will get better for you and you will get to study what you want❤️
How are you feeling tonight? Do things feel any better? @anonyCucumber6402
I have already gotten into this situation
