Unfortunately many parents end up killing the dreams of their children because they have their whole life mapped up when they are born.

My parents also tried me to stop from persuing my dreams. Now they know their limits. *If you're serious about your dreams, you will have to be bold enough*

[protooler]

All three parents have failed to live their dreams, and want to subject that to their children. How selfish! We live life only once, so be happy, do what you want to do, follow your heart and dreams, and live with no regrets!

im literaly crying right now cause im actually in that kind of life. ive always wanted to tell my parents what i really want but im always afraid that they wont aprove my decisions. and i was right

[protooler]

Parents have no right to dictate the lives and future of their children. Ultimately, we must live our lives long after our parents pass on, and we shoulder that responsibility of taking care of ourselves. Parents cannot tell us what to do, and have us shoulder the consequences of their actions and decisions.

N I'm here wanting my parents to be more supportive

Parents: you must become doctor
Me: not my fault you failed to achieve that

[ElleAlly]

Very important message. It's more than just chasing a dream or letting your children do what they want, it is learning to trust that your children will make a decision that is right for them and if they don't, it's ok, that's life, we have ups and downs, just be there for them.

I am genuinely crying right now. I wish my parents listened to me and understood the things that I love and enjoy. After SPM results on March 2017, I had one of the hardest times in my life, thinking and discussing about my future. I had been crying, stressing out, being sick because of overthinking about my future and arguing with my parents. They literally said that being something that you love, something you admire is not important anymore. Learning a course that related to a job that everyone needs in the next few years and the job has a great salary that can accommodate our lives as the living standards are increasing every year are important. After the children chose a course in university and they graduated, the parents are scared that the children wouldn't get a job. That's the problem.

Parents: "Follow your dreams"

Also parents: "THIS is going to be your job, no buts"

My parents gave me a choice between studying medicine ( Which they want me to study ) they want me to become a doctor, but honestly. It isn’t for me. And when I told them that I’m following my dreams which are to pursue my dream in music, and study sports medicine, . They said. “If you don’t study what we tell you, Prepare to move out of my house”. I was 19 at the time. I graduated from my high school. I’m currently still attending college. But I feel so disconnected from studying Biology. I love music, and studying about sports medicine. I played basketball, football, and I was a member in my high school band all four years in high school. I have passion for them. But my parents just don’t care. When I first started playing basketball, my parents always came to my games. But as I grew up. Their attendance to my games faded. So I switched to football. They never attended. Then I switched to marching band. They never attended a performance. And once I reached my junior year ( I was 18 ). My parents told me that they don’t trust me and I need to do something serious with my life. I told my parents. “ I want to be a musician, compose music, and play sports, and study more about sports medicine. They both laughed, called me crazy and then they said. “No child of mine is going to be drug addict or a NBA fame head junky. Ever since my graduation from high school. I wasn’t allowed to stay on campus, I couldn’t join the band at my college because my parents always said no. And I’m currently playing basketball. And it’s like every time I text them to tell them that I’m at practice or I’m at a game. When I get home they’re always complaining about how I don’t listen, I don’t do this or do that. I remember that first season practice we had I told my dad that Me and the team have practice. He compared my going to practice to Kobe Bryant’s death. And then when I asked him why he did that he told me because Kobe Bryant didn’t listen to anyone when they told him not to fly the helicopter in that whether condition. And then I asked him why would he compare me to Kobe. And then I said so you think by me telling you I have practice and games is me not listening to you?. He said nothing. And whenever him and my mom get in a argument guess who’s always placed in the middle?. Me. They force me to take up for one of them. But when I talk about my dreams and passions. No one wants to listen. But I’m moving out soon. And I will change my major to music education, and hen minor in Sports Medicine. One day they’ll die, and when they do die. My life goes on.I don’t want to have that feeling of regret. I want to live a comfortable life. I’m 21 now. And I just want to enjoy my life. In 9 more years I’ll be 30. I don’t want to live in regret. Please pray for me guys.

They started arguing with their kids when they went home I can tell you that much. If not then show me evidence, I BET THEY STARTED REJECTINF THEIR KIDS AGAIN, ALWAYS RHE FAKE LOVE.

[amanabhishek]

Fought my family about my career which is to become a photographer and they just don't understand what i go through
They forced me to do Bcom just because it think it's the best thing for me. NOBODY SUPPORTS ME. I was in depression for long period and no one cared. I tried to kill myself by overdose yet i lived. Even death rejected me. But I'm still strong cause when somebody ask me how's life? I smile and respond fine.

[jokerkas]

WoW that was smooth, mine rejected it with screaming and threats

I've never had a solid father-daughter relationship so when he told me that architecture was an ideal degree for me I wanted him to be proud of me and I wanted to fix our relationship. He's always had big and unrealistic expectations of me. A couple days ago I told him I want to quit this because it's not what I want, I told him I did it for him. He threw words at me like I'm made of stone. I've learned a big life lesson which is to ALWAYS put yourself first, stop thinking about the what-ifs.

[nicholasgiovanni]

I was forced into engineering and somehow I made it through master's degree. In the end, I returned to my passion in corporate business job.
I realize now what I will never get to experience, is to enjoy a bachelor study in business as an 18 years old. This fires anger in me for years.
I've never ask my parent whether he approved of my decision. I don't think any answer will make me feel better.

Must be nice to have parents who support your dreams

[protooler]

Study/do something that would make you happy. Not your parents, teachers, priest, imam, friends or bf/gf. What's the point of being rich, but unhappy? If you're happy, whether you become rich or not, is secondary. Very often, parents give advice based on their own limited exposure and beliefs.
