im a 17 year old, i'm a sophomore student in a nursing school. and i don't really want to be a nurse, i want to be an architect. but i can't convince my dad and my grandparents. the effect was i'm not really motivated in studying. i always get low grades and i haven't told them yet because i know they'll be dissapointed. i'm guilty for not studying hard. also i want to stop studying and continue next year and take up architecture. how do i tell them that? if you're a parent would you understand and forgive me? please help me :o thank you very much!

Just tell them. It is very unfair for them to expect you to do something that is THEIR dream, and not yours. I firmly believe that we should follow our dreams, no matter what.
Sure, your family may be mad, but they will get over it. Disappointed? They shouldn't be! If you apply yourself and you are ambitious towards achieving your goals, there is nothing to be disappointed about.
I say, persue your dreams and make them proud! In the end, it is YOUR life and you should do what makes you happy. We shouldn't live to please other people.

Well ... I would let you decide (after testing) what you would like to work at, for life. Simply; tell your parents the truth about your desire to become an architect. Make sure though, that you could handle the course of study for an Architect. Working at any job for 30 or more years, has to be because you like it - rather than the $$$ !!!

be patience. try to convenience ur parents and home people and tell them frankly that u r not interested in nursing and wants to go for architecture. The main reason as a parent I am giving this suggestion is , if u r a guility about ur past, and if u r a sure that u can study nicely in future, then go ahead. May be ur parents are not trusting u, that u can complete architectic becoze of ur past grades. So pray to God to enlight ur mind and also ur parents, and go and talk to ur parents in smooth way and also promise them that u will study nicely in future. Becoze for architecture, ur parents has to spend lots of money. So try to be motivate about ur future, promise ur parents and go ahead.

i think more than anything parents just want there kids to be happy in whatever they do as long as it doesnt hurt them....just tell your parents straight up that nursing is just not your thing and you are really not interseted in it and you would rather try your hand at architecture. just speak up for yourself, have no fear and even if they dont support fully its okay you dont always have to do exactly what your parents want you to do. GO FOR IT!

Yes, I am a parent and I would understand that you want to have a career doing something that you would enjoy. There would be nothing to forgive, you are following your own path in life not someone else's, and that's what you should do.

Tell them just the same way that you typed it! I would explain that you are so sorry and that you don't want them to be disappointed, but your heart just isn't in Nursing. Most parents will appreciate your honesty and understand.
GoodLuck!

Be honest and tell them what your true passion really is.Just make it clear to them that you do want to continue your education but that you heart and your mind are in a different field of study.
