So I come from a very Indian family and I have three older siblings. My brother did Chemistry at Imperial. My sister did Natural Sciences at Cambridge. My other sister went to Nottingham to do Vet medicine. I seem to be the odd one out in the family because I want to do English at Southampton University. I'm currently in Year 12 so when I told my parents this, they were telling me stuff like you aren't guaranteed a job in English but you're guaranteed one in Economics. They're basically telling me I can't move out for university unless I do Economics and they've started telling me that some priest told them when I was a baby that according to my horoscope, I'd be poor for life if I do English.
I personally don't believe in that crap but I don't know what to do. I have tried everything. We had mocks recently. I got an A in English, a B in History, a C in Music and a D in Economics. My parents flipped out and told me they wished that I had got a D in English and an A in Econ. My parents have told me that if I move out for university to do English, I'm completely on my own.
