So I'm in year 12 - Sixth Form and doing Chem, Bio and Eng Lang. I absolutely hate Chem and Bio and have explained so in my other thread. My mother has said to me to see how these mock exams go and then she will consider if i can restart in college.I want to do Eng Lit, Lang and Sociology in College. HOWEVER, my mother is pushing me to do these A Levels even though i am failing and behind on lots of work. Even if i end up passing - I STILL want to do A Levels of my own choice. I want As not Es and Us and I know I can get those grades. But I don't know how I can persuade her. I know I want to study a degree in Law and I know I want to go to a Russel Group university but I don't know how I can persuade my mother when I have been trying so hard to, since - basically - a couple of months into year 12. Today my head of year told us in assembly he had also been directed towards studying A Levels he had no desire for and ended up just passing. This resulted in him studying a degree in university he had no love for and he dropped out after 2 years. I don't want to be in that position where I'm stuck and have no back up plan as the future is changing. I strongly believe a student can only do great in A Levels if they enjoy or have interest in what they are learning. How can I persuade my mother? I don't want to upset her but I also want to do what I want to do.
