i’m so so depressed.

i started uni in september and am totally swamped down with all the work i really regret taking an arty degree. i’ve decided i want to defer for a year and get my head together n apply to a different course next year, but my parents are refusing to understand. they shrug off what i say, they tell me i’m being immature and a spoilt little brat and everyone has to do things they don’t like in life. this makes me feel a million times worse and leaves me feeling completely trapped and isolated. there is no way i am staying on this course- i am about 4 briefs behind and hate it more every day. i tried talking to my tutor yesterday but he’s hard to approach n scares me a bit, and i just didn’t get anywhere- i ended up agreeing with him and saying i’d stay on the course. i feel so pathetic and useless, completely lost. please can you give me some advice to bring my parents round because right now they’re dismissing everything i’m saying to them.

Are you sure you won’t begin to like what you are doing? i am just thinking you might just be adjusting with stuff for school and stuff and you might be able to cope with things as you move along.

BUT if you really do not have the heart on that degree, what would you prefer to take up instead?
