Remember they are your parents, don’t hate them too much. When you become a success they will still be there for you. It is not like they will disown you for becoming a doctor. (I don’t think) Tell them what you are feeling, or perhaps write a letter to them so you don’t have to say it to their faces if it makes you nervous. Just keep saying to yourself: 2 more years… lol

Dude, if you have dreams like that then you have the spirit of a hero.

Whatever you do, don’t let anybody else decide your destiny for you. It may not seem like it but you have the ability to make your dream happen, as long as you don’t give it up that is. Trust me, I had a similar situation like this and believe me when I say it’s going to happen one day. Just continue to train to be a doctor and say that your going to leave to make your dream big.

You don’t need them to believe in you to carry out your life goals. It’s your dream and it was put in your heart, it’s no one elses and thats all that matters.

i just turned 18 the other day. i moved out of my moms house two years ago when I was 16 because my mom is a drug addict who just brought me down. It still kills me everyday that she wasnt there for me to support me. But then I think about all of the times she killed my dreams. I have been doing way better on my own. I work almost full time and I graduate from a great high school in another year with honors. Moral of the story: you are your own strength and your power. And all of the haters? theyre your motivation. I don’t think I would have been nearly as successful if my mom didn’t make me crazy enough to want to achieve my dreams and escape her. I do believe all things happen for a reason. And I believe my shaky childhood has made me a person whom im proud of today. and i still am chasing my dreams whether i have support or not. I really hope you can do the same =)

2 years may seem like an eternity, but they will go by fast.

Try to keep the peace at home. Your parents will have to believe in you when you prove them wrong; use that as a motivator.

I hope I’m not being insulting, but maybe your parents are slightly small-minded. They don’t dream big for themselves, so they don’t dream big for you. Try to understand that they are doing the best they can.

You have very admirable goals and the motivation to acheive them. Good luck!

Do your parents go to parent’s evening and see how well you are doing? I am sure your teachers would have said how much potential you have. If you have a dream you should follow it because you may regret it in later life. I wish you all the luck for your bright future :-)

Just keep your head up, like everyone has been saying, Dont give up, and keep in mind that when you do become a doctor , you can shove it in their faces and brag all you want about how much better your life is =)

Sweet revenge

I lived in the same situation when I was younger, a bipolar mother and alcoholic father who hated me and didn’t believe in anything I wanted to do for myself. I left home when I was 15, had my daughter and gave up my dreams. I’ve regretted it every moment of my life. NEVER give up your dreams no matter how many times you get frustrated, or because no one believes in you. As was said before, you are your own strength, never let anyone take your power away. Above all odds, if you believe in yourself, you don’t need anyone else, you can fulfill your dreams and proving everyone else wrong is the finest form of revenge. Best of luck.
