stressed about family's forced decision of subject choice

im stressed about my studies, im in 11th grade (just got promoted) my family forced me to opt for pcm, whereas i always wanted to opt for humanities. i fought a lot at home about this, but they just dont understand, i've tried each and every thing from which i could convince my family. sometimes i really feel like crying when i think of my future, cause at the end of the day all that matters is your grades, what if i dont get a good college after opting for pcm or what if i fail.

Hey! Thanks for reaching out. I am sure this is a very stressful situation to be in. Is there anyone in the family you can push or convince your parents on behalf of yoj?

I am sorry to hear this but this is the case with most of the parents. I suggest you need to talk to one of your parents and explain them the situation of what’s going on with you

but my mum is a single parent and my father's opinion doesn't matter in the situation

Okay, I see, someone from the extended family maybe? Who can help your mom understand that it’s not a wise choice. You are not happy.
