I wish your parents could be more supportive of you Deneb..it sounds like education is at the top of what they expect from their children..as Racer said, please find something you are passionate about and go in that direction, whether a degree is involved or not..because you'll never get up in the morning and hate the job you're going to.
I've seen families where one child is "picked on"..I don't think the parents even realize what damage is done and the scars that are left behind
In my worst struggles when there has been dissent, whether it's family issues or a broken heart I have a little saying I repeat over and over and that is "I'm worth more than this". It's my "battle cry". When someone is being unkind or unfair, I keep repeating it in my mind..somehow it helps me to stand up for myself..it's such a small saying, but there is empowerment in those 5 little words..
As a single mother, I was horrified when my daughter became pregnant right after she graduated..the baby's father deserted her..she didn't go to university.. that's the path she chose..but she gave me something that to me is worth more than 10 degrees, 3 beautiful grandchildren and a son-in-law that I adore..
I just feel so bad for you I just want to take you home and smother you with mothering!
Feel better Deneb and I know you are worth more than this..
