Some parents expect you to pursue their dreams for them. But the point is you should be pursuing your dreams because it's your future, not theirs. I've already kinda sorta mapped out future, not only so I could pursue my requirements at school but also so I could perform what's in my career path; music. I've always loved it and I got my music intuition from my grandfather, and the point of playing piano makes me feel happy. I also would like to point out that you should do what you love. If you like music, do it. Like fashion, do it. It's a great way to express yourself. Sometimes parents can be overbearing. Some parents expect you to pursue their dreams for them.

Hopefully later I shall be able to rescind that statement). I'm seventeen, and graduated a couple days ago. And I'm Asian, though I don't know if being Indian is what y'all mean. I live in India, so there's a bit of a barrier to unconventional-ism right there. I was on the road to being a doctor. It was kinda the only option for me... But I always had my art, and now I'm going to the best design school in the country XD In three days!!! Squee! ...Ahem. My point, anything is possible! The world is your oyster (or shrimp, or other preferred seafood item, even if it seems like it sometimes isn't. And prioritise.. what's more important, your life being truly yours, or a version your parents approve of? Just because they're happy doesn't mean you will be. Good luck, honey, I know it's hard (believe me!), but you gotta make a choice. I get it, I do.. my parents were like that for most of my life (thus far.

To be a make-up artist or designer or something in that field, a business major would be awesome. Good luck with your future. Go to college, especially if it’s paid for.

My parents trust my judgement and encourage me to do what I want to do. I think you need to live your own life and follow your own dreams. if you don't, your parents may be happy but you may end up being very unhappy and hating your parents for it. Parents need to learn they can't control their children for the rest of their lives.
