I'm scared of my future
I'm only in year 8 and i go to a grammar school, I've also got a career path in mind which i'd love to follow. However, I fear that even though i'm getting good grades in the subjects i desire but i'm scared that i might also need to pass the subjects i don't have good grades in and don't desire for m set out path and i fear that i might not get into a good university like oxford. also my parents are telling me that i'm a nobody who will get nowhere in life and i take their word quite seriously.

Please ignore your parents on that, you absolutely are a somebody and you can absolutely accomplish fantastic things if you put your mind towards it and work hard! Please also do not put too much pressure onto yourself about getting into Oxford specifically, there are plenty of fantastic universities. If you really want to start looking ahead, perhaps look at summer camps and events that these top universities host. You may be able to get lower offer requirements by attending these

I promise you i felt the exact same, influences from Indian parents took a serious toll on me. However i promise there will always be an opportunity for you. Maybe u don't get to do what u wanted to, it felt likely he end of the world for me but now I'm doing something else and much happier. Ignore ur parents, you're worth it and keep going. The moment i started reaching my worst point of getting 3's in my exams, i would worry so much, but with practice and acceptance that ill only get better with time, i had great results, and so will you .

I dont like what your parents are saying ,unless it is intended to shock you. With AI becoming very big, i would focus of a career that will survive and not be done by AI controlled Robots in 5 years.
