+445 Sometimes, it is not their decision to make because it is not their life to live. Parents, you had your chance and lived your life. If they have old, outdated views on something that's totally different for our generation, don't be scared to tell them to quit back seat driving in your ride, amirite?

I cant say that, my mom would kill me! No, she signs me up for IB curriculum in high school without telling me because she thinks I should get an international job and need to learn 4 different languages to graduate. I'd LIKE to be an engineer, but NO, MY MOM IS GONNA MAKE ME PURSUE A CARREER AS AN AMBASSADOR.

Wow, that's quite a pickle =(. I can see how she wants the best for you, and that's great of her, but what she doesn't see is that if you're not happy, it's NOT going to be the best for you. Being forced to take advanced classes is torture, you should want to take, want the challenge. Idk if you want my advice, but here it is: don't rebel, but try to talk to her, tell her what you think. Always remember that it is you who has to live with your career, not her. ENGINEERING! That's great!! Engineers can do great things in this world too, let her know that. And find out what she thinks about you being happy. I hope she cares... Good luck!

Yea, I was lucky enough to have awesome parents, but I know so many kids who's parents just don't get that they are there for ADVICE and GUIDANCE, not dictatorship! It makes me sick =(.
