Mine dont let me go anywhere either and they drop me and take me to college but i dont mind. and my mum either makes me do the housework realllly early or i convince her that I cant if i have a test. I find housework soothing and calming but I dont know, I know a lot of people dont. Honest I think you should sit them down, tell them your busy with assaignments and you will help maybe when you have time? You know, dont just dump it all on them, as bad as that sounds, cause idk u should respect your parents but also tell them that you need space and time to revise😭😭😭. sorry if that makes no sence, but i dont know what else to say to get my point across😂😂

i dont need to be indian to know what ur going through. im litteraly ethnically pakistani so trust when i say i know half the **** your going through, but call me naive or brainwashed, but the way i see it is your parents are being bogstandard asian parents, got nothing to do with being indain or not. If ur not here to listen to advise where im trying to help you WITHOUT breaking up your family and ties with your parents, then thats on you for having wool over your eyes.

Im just saying try to talk it out with them, or try to have a fmaily member talk it out with them. If not maybe get a uni lecturure to write a quick letter or something (ik this is too much) but on how much you have to focus to pass and you need time to revise. Or better yet REVISE IN THE SCHOOL LIBRARY after lectures and ur parents can come pick u up after, but it gives you the time and space to revise without your parents constatly breathing down your neck
