My father is a successful doctor. I am his 3rd "child" and the only one who wants to study university. I want to study vet but he wants me to study human medicine. He makes a pressure on me. Because of that i avoid meeting him. I know that when i meet him he will be telling me how good doctor i would be and that vet is not a doctor. This all makes me stressed and i cant concentrate on studying for entrance exams.
Has anyone been in such situation? What have you done with that?

It's tough living in a family where you're expected to do things to keep up with other's status's. I know that families try to make their kids similar to themselves and it's tough when you want to go against that because of something you enjoy. Try to explain to him, he won't do anything dreadful bcoz he's your father. Tell him how important it is to you and try to get someone like your mum to help you explain the situation to him. He'll hopefully realise that doing what you want to will keep you happier and you can start worrying about other things then, such as your studying! Hope it works out for you!;-)

I understand that you want to validated by your dad, but you can live your own dreams without having to live up to his expectations.
