Why are my parents trying to choose my life for me?

Have you tried speaking to them? When you and they are calm? Tell them that you appreciate them trying to help, but that you feel that you would learn better if you could make your own choices about school.

Oh and don’t get angry, just take it calm, anger will not help your situation at all.

And another things, parents can be really difficult (as you know), but some time in your life you have to stand up for yourself (which can be done in an ADULT way).

Good luck!!

They do care, You just got to realize that. You really also need to speak to them, and let them know that they can make decisions for you, that you are old enough to know what you want in life, that you would really like it, if you can just figure out what you want without them choosing for you. If you let them know nicely, and be very responsible about it, I’m sure they will see. I hope this helps

I know you’ve probably already hear this from others because I’ve gone through the same thing and have had arguments with my parents; but you’re parents do want what’s best for you and want you to succeed but I think they should realize that you’re growing up and interested in different things and they should be happy for you in life and what you decide to do. good luck!

just stop telling them everything about your school work. do your graphics homework by yourself. you can show them your designs and share your ideas but at the end of the day its your homework.

and they have no control over what you do in class, so do your designs in class and your research at home?
