Give up?

Heyy darl, I hope you are doing well. You have not failed. You have a very very bright future and you can apply to good universities. What course do you want to do?

I just got my O level results today. 2A, 3B, 3C. Everyone of my friends goit all A*s in their subjects. My parents are given up on me, isn't talking to me that much; my dad indirectly telling me that his expectations are all destroyed solely because of me, my mom cursing me out telling me many things.
They're telling me that I have no future, a blant life full of daydreams I can never touch. Little did they know that I'm disappointed in myself; failed myself, questioning myself.
Do I have a future? Can I apply into good universities with this result of mine?

Economics, and I got a C in there....

No probs...have you tried applying to any Uni at all?

Firstly, RESULTS DON’T DEFINE YOU! Secondly, your results are good and they can still get you into good unis, have you contacted any unis. Thirdly, don’t let your parents dishearten you can still be successful.

Honestly I don't usually post anything anywhere, but I made an account just to reply to your post because I need you to know this. Please don't listen to your parents, those grades are great and more than above average. Sometimes parents can have very unrealistic expectations with the grades their children get. But whatever they are telling you is wrong, and you can still get into a very good University with those grades. Even if they have given up on you, (which I don't understand why they would) that does not define you. You can do great things I promise. Just keep pushing.

Thank you so much; infact, I thank everyone who's been replying to me. You guys are the sweetest. I'll tell you a bit about my parents to make you understand why they're like this.
My parents are both from a very remote area (village where they still don't have proper electricity). My dad, he got into our country's best uni (in our country we need to give admission tests) despite having no proper books to read, no place to live. My mom is also from a very famous uni and her story's also similar. They're well respected for that.
However, my elder bro scored bad in his board exams (I'm the only one in the family studying in this curriculum) whereas everyone around our family scored like how my topper parents expected him to get, the first shock my parents got. He, however, got a very high-paid job but couldn't go there due to an unfortunate accident. This was around my O levels... We were completely broken.
I couldn't focus on studies, my parents leveled up their expectations and kept pressuring me to do better while my brother retried. But, after I found out that my brother actually LIED about the job he got (family pressure is scary)... I couldn't share it with anyone, I lost the motivation to do better and get good O level grades. The people around our family kind of pointed out my brother's odd behavior about losing his job and my parents assume that they're mocking them (actually aren't but they think like that because of their reputation).
I had a gut feeling that I can't do well in O levels and that's why I informed them beforehand that I won't be able to get all A*s (my true capabilities). They told me, "it's okay, do well in AS as it's the main thing the unis look at, and you have good ECAs. We'll not care about your o levels."
But seems like they've forgotten about it. While I understand the pressure of having eyes on them, they need to understand my situation too...

What'll I do when they're cursing me, ignoring me, controlling every part of my life? I lost all my personal space, my privacy (only privacy I had was in my phone but yeah). They said that if I get a single low score or scores that don't satisfy them, they'll force me to drop that subject out. They kept saying that I've a bland future. I've told them that I'll do good in AS (I've already told them that my O levels wouldn't be good, but still they're like this) but them...
Today I realized that my parents never understood me, never tried to look at my situation in my pov.

I completely understand that, my parents also went to top unis and I’m getting my AS results tomorrow. I think the best we can do is focus on getting the grades that we are happy with, and not let their opinion define us. In the future this won’t matter. But for now we just have to take what they say with a grain of salt if you get what I mean. Also I’m very sorry about your brother, that might be another reason your parents are being hard on you. Just please try and not let it affect you.

Clearly your parents, I think maybe they just want the best for you have really high standards, “failing” your O levels doesn’t define you you will still go on and do well in your AS it’s a shame they are not understanding of you. Even if you don’t do as well in your AS levels you can still go on to be successful you definitively shouldn’t give up, it’s sad to not have supporting parents but prove them wrong and work hard and succeed. Some of the most famous people we know didn’t even go to school, you got this sorry about your parents!

I just want them to understand my situation too, understand how this "expectations" are rather affecting me. I hope that it'll get better in time (it won't, they'll mention it, curse me, question my existence every time they see me,).. As a daughter, I'm understanding, but recently I'm starting to think like an outsider too. As an outsider, my parents are scarily manipulative. They'll choose their words SO carefully, it'll ruin your mindset completely, if you try to talk to someone else, he/she'll think that YOU'RE the one degrading them for no reason.
Anyways, seeing all of your sweet comments triggered my very soul, I'll start in my revenge era🔥. I plan to make loads of 💰 and show off. I'll keep updating all of you angels from my account.

Your results are not bad at all. Your A level results count much more for Unis.
I got similar GCSE's to you and ended up graduating in Physics at a good Uni.

Looking forward to hearing about it, work hard and good luck 🩷

Wowwww... Does this apply for Ivy leagues too? Just curious.

I am from the UK so I don't know

What about Oxford and Cambridge?
