I got my Bachelors and Masters without my parents even knowing I had moved out.

Well it's a bit complicated. They wanted me to do certain A Levels and I went against that. Then I became so focused on my studies but they didn't take me seriously and wouldn't give me the space or time to focus and were constantly distracting me. Also there were serious family issues going on and they kept dragging me into them like I was a bad person so I couldn't focus well at school (and hence partly the reason why I didn't do so well). Also I was having personal issues and they were not very supportive or understanding, and they were aginst me getting help.

Did you do fine in the end?? And more importantly. Are you ok now???

[Lintu93]

Yeah they knew what subjects I was doing. And when my exams were. But there may have been a sneaky little re-sit or two which I didn't tell them about...

Soz bro.
As long as you do fine and aren't socially awkward because of your pessimistic parents, it's not a big deal.

P.S
I really hope you weren't being sarcastic, otherwise. Post fail/

nah im being serious ... But its just the whole vicarious parent thing not that they just hate so its cool ... N nope im not socially awkward

Only in the early hours does that weird bit of TSR in Health and Relationships spill out to the other forums.

Lol whatever.

[blacklistmember]

My parents didnt know i applied for maths until after i sent my application

would take a long time to convince them if i had told them before

[f1mad]

Lol how can your parents NOT know?

[SirMasterKey]

My parents knew when I was doing them. They didn't always remember when I had exams and they don't with my little sister but they knew what we were/are studying.

[PaperBoy]

My parents know when roughly the exams are going to be, otherwise they'd go on the AQA website and check the exact exam dates rofl.

They have been less supportive since I started A-level because apparently they want me to adapt the life in university - learning independently when I can't even cook (imagine thinking about what to eat everyday arrrrrrghhhhhh!)

[Vixen47]

My parents don't know what I'm studying but they know when my exams are....although they always forget. No joke.
If they remember and notice me panicking then they tell me "exams don't matter at all, if you do bad then you always have other options."
Shows how high my parent's expecatations are for me!

[Willez]

Mine know everything from exam dates, subjects and the syllabus of each course. My dad expects nothing less than pretty much the best, whereas my mum secretly tells me it's okay and to just do as well as I can.

Your other option is to resit the exam again until you get an A.

[arnoob]

Of course my parents know what I am studying or when my exams are and what I want to do in the future, I mean it gets annoying sometimes when they keep on questioning you whether I have had class tests etc. , however I never feel the need to mention mocks because they will probably nag me to revise

[Sui-Kinxtar_kitty]

Lawlz my mum has no idea what subjects Im doing atm :P

She actually has to ask me when telling other ppl...

[IB_19]

Of course they know what I'm studying! My Mum keeps note of when I have the exams to encourage me, and I just tell my Dad a few weeks in advance. They are supportive but they do not put an enormous amount of pressure on us.

[Nix-j-c]

My dad couldn't tell me what gcses I did, let alone the grades I got, he could probbaly say which a-levels i'm doing but probably not that i'm doing A2 bio but AS for the other three.

[brionyak]

My mum had a general idea. At first she knew everything but I gave up cause they are only so many times I can endure being asked 'when do your results come out again?' when I'm already so nervous or 'you got 80? Next time let's try for 100'.
