Please help, i don’t know what to do anymore.
I just finished another argument with my dad about college. I’m a junior girl who works extremely hard (contrary to what he believes). I’m taking all honors and AP classes, i play 4 instruments, i’m an officer of the model united nations club at school. My gpa is about an 89 right now and i’m working on getting it higher. Now my dad is starting to make my life (and his) centered around the SATs. I know those scores are the most important to college admission but he’s setting restrictions on other parts of my life to make my already good scores even higher. I know he means well but i can’t even talk to him anymore without it turning into a fight; all he cares about is the SAT and college. He won’t let me take my permit test until he approves of my SAT scores, I can’t go out until i do a practice SAT, the list goes on. He even screams at my mom when she tries to defend me. I think they’ll get a divorce in a few years and it makes me so upset to see them fight. I just turned 16 years old, i’m just a kid, and i can’t take this, it is too much. I’m sitting here crying asking for someone to give some advice because i am completely lost at what to do. I want to go to an amazing school, i want to be successful, i want him to be proud of me, but for him to keep putting me down, saying that it’s too late for me to amount to anything…it just hurts so much. Please please tell me something i can do, thank you for listening.
