Ok. I' m a sixteen year old girl and my parents really wants me to be a teacher after i finish my form 5( which is next year). The problem here is i don't want to be a teacher and i don't know what i want to be. Can anybody give ideas on what can i be. I'm a tall girl and a science student. When I was a kid I always want to be a pilot, an astraunat, a fashion designer, an architect and lots and lots more. but now, I don't know what to do. I'm puzzled

Head on to college, as an undecided, or pick a major like fashion design. Make sure to pick a big college, they will have a wide variety of programs for you to explore.
During my second year of college, I took a film class, and fell in love with it. I changed my major eventually, and enjoyed the college experience doing something that I love.
I recommend taking any class that piques your interest, see what you love, and pursue that. It's your life, and you should make the choices that will make you the most happy.
Let your parents know that you love them and know that they have your best interests at heart. Thank them, but let them know that you want to make sure that teaching is what will make you happiest. Ask for their support in your decision for that's what will make you happy, and this is when I'd ask if they would be willing to go with you to meet professors at X college. Make sure you make informed, intelligent decisions, by looking into the programs that interest you most. Look colleges up on the web. It's also, for relatively close by colleges, to call up the professors in charge of the aspects you might be interested in. Make an appointment to see them, however, first make sure that your parents will be willing to take you there to meet with the professors. They will admire your intelligence, I'll bet, and meeting with the profs you could have will also help you decide if it's something you might like to pursue.
At college, discover your passion freely, whether it's teaching, architecture, graphic arts, fashion, or science.
Good luck!

Your still really young, and most people older then you have no idea of what they want to do. Take this year out and really think about what you would enjoy doing, and research it. What ever you decide to do, make sure it is your decision and not your parents.

first, try to tell your parents that you would not want to be a teacher. then try to think of your capabilities, in what fields you are good. and also think of the subjects/fields where you are doing not-so-good. you said that you are a tall girl, maybe you could try to be a model. and at the same time, you are a science student, why don't you try to get some science courses like physcis, chemistry?
