chemistry hatred?

Question

i am taking biology chemistry german and music. all of my subjects i am doing so well in except chemistry. i used to want to do medicine but now i have changed my mind and either want to do german at uni, music at unit, or a combined course of both. i really want to drop chemistry as I am trying so hard but cannot get even satisfactory grades. it depresses me. however i feel like my mum and dad are pressurising me into doing a scientific career. mum says i should keep it on for the first year and see what my results are but i feel as if i am wasting my time when i could be concentrating more on the subjects i enjoy. its so depressing help me!someone! thanks! xx

Answer 1

I know it's tempting to try and make your parents happy in these cases. But if you really think about it, you're the one who had to do your job for the rest of your life, not them. If it's not something you enjoy, you're likely to change your mind anyway and decide to go back to school later on in life anyway.

Answer 2

It seems strange that you are doing well in biology and not in chemistry....
I agree with what the others have said, but I would like to add that you need to think about what job you want to do, and what qualifications you need to do that job. For example to be a translater, chemistry isn't indispensable but if you want to be a biologist you would probably find it use full. What I would recommend to you is that you write a list of things you want to do in the future. If you are the kind of person that likes to be outside, working with people.... Try to associate that with a job.
Think hard about the decisions you make now because it will affect you for a long time after wards.
Chemistry isn't that hard really!! Its all based on common sense!

Answer 3

First off you are the only one at this point that knows what is right for you. But on the hand dont jump the gun. If you want to know for sure give a good semester of hard, nose to the grindstone work, and if you still dont get chemistry then drop it. But giving up in the beginning will only lead you down the wrong path. College is supposed hard it just depends on how hard you are willing to work and how much time you are willing to devote to it. You will GET OUT of it what YOU PUT IN!!!!!!!
