How do you guys do it?
I'm in my junior year and my father has declared , "she wont go to NYU" because NYU is my dream school. Unfortunately I suck at math so he thinks all hope is lost. Its not the kind of she wont go to NYU because she chooses not to, but rather .. he's like officially declaring that I have no chance.

Which is super annoying. And heart-breaking.

How to deal with super annoying parents? Especially during junior year.. omfg as if we dont have enough crap to be worrying about.

[kid_romantiks]

NYU? thats my first choice school as well ^^
im a senior tho..


drown them out...consider your dad as motivation.
everytime he declared u aint going to NYU or some other college
just go whtever...ima work off my a** and get into it and stick it in ur face.
just wait and see u man-whore.
and once u do make it to NYU....just yell suck my cojonesssss.

i basically did that...

the parentals are telling me i cant get into any east coast school
but i know i have a decent chance..
so im doing anything i can to help me get into a reputable school.

[HmmlOL]

my parents are annoying me b/c they keep checking up on how my apps are going and all that. its over for now.. but before they kept asking my my essays and apps process and stuff.. they were being "caring" but it was kind of annoying.

[SarangxHae]

My parents are like that too. They're always like "oh, you're not going to get in." blah blah...and then they expect me to do well on everything and..yeah...you know the deal with Asian parents.

[swayingdandelion]

my dad was like that too, #@#%@#$@#$

i just considered it scaredy parent talk, like, he's just trying to cope with me going away. now, he's totally different and has much confidence in me. =)

[litoxshortaii]

im a junior as well and my parents are kinda like that now..
prove them wrong by working really hard

[MONICA]

i know how you feel. my mom was like that for a while, but now she thinks i can. iunno, they're weird. just make sure you're confident and don't let it get to you.

[delightful123]

im sorry girl.. my parents are like that too.. what can we do? just work your butt off and SHOW THEM WHAT YOURE MADE OF! ;] hahaha~ good luck!!

[HoO8MyRiCe]

NYU isn't all that its up to be. Their student body isn't the greatest.. my opinion.

Your pops is using the only way he knows how to motivate you. Just do your absolute best and I'm sure you can get in.

[seohee]

^

yes, i agree with the person above =)

and besides, when you get into NYU, i'm sure he'll be among the happiest =) you're so lucky. my parents are just like... what? you want to go to USC? NO! It's not in the top 20! -.-

[Eddie]

OMGGGGG SEOHEE
I WANT TO GO TO USC TOO...SO BADLY
AND MY PARENTS ARE EXACTLY LIKE YOURS!

MY DAD AND MOM ARE LIKE, "USC?!?!?! WHY NOT UCLA...if anything?" (I'm from NY)
They think UCLA's prestige completely dominates USC. Well, UCLA is a great school and I'm not impugning it, but USC seems so much better! lol
But I know deep inside, if I get into USC, I'm packin ma bags and movin to LA. I think my folks will send me because I've told them at least 900 times that USC is my #1 school, and my dad even went to a USC infosession with me for like fourrr hours.

chibi: Oh, and my dad, at first, was like that too but for a completelty different reason: he didn't want me to go to USC/NYU/BC or other "lower" colleges because they cost the same as, let's say, the Ivy League, but the quality is "inferior". Yeah right... (my dad is predicting that we will get no fin.aid at all, so the 50k will have to come straight out of his pockets.)

Now though, half my colleges (or more) are "those type of schools" so he knows I'm going to end up there.

And if I don't get into USC, I'm gonna trek my way to a building of NYU and jump off =) lol.

Make that a super annoying family. When there's pressure from both sides of the family to do well, it's so stressful. I'd rather have them tell me I'm a failure and not expect me to do well than expect me to do well because all of them went to an amazing school. It's irritating.

Heck, it's from people not related to me as well. They automatically assume I'm just like my family members.

And I'm not going to go try to prove them wrong by going to some really bad school, because I don't want to do that either. -__- I have no way out. ASD;FLKASDFJASDJ

So now I go around telling everyone I'm failing all of my classes so they'll get off my back about these things.

[`faded]

My parents don't mind what school I'm going to..they approve it..it's more like my uncle's and aunties that don't like where I'm going to school or my major =/ buuut..I just move along and take in their advice but I'll still go into the same major and same school that I want to lol

[Iridescence]

My parents always question why I want to do this type of career or go to this school, and blah blah blah. I'm like... because I want to?


But other than that, they don't really bug me, unless I bring it up.

Just use your father as motivation! Good luck to you, dear!

[songielove]

uhm..~ i don't get that a lot from my parents.~ They're leaving it to myself as to where i wanna go~ but they always bug me about getting my grades up there so i can go to that place i wanna go. --

but hey!~ don't lose hope~ j/ take those remarks as motivation!~ j/ show him you're awesome and you'll make it! *cheers for you* ~!!

[cpopbaby19]

argh. me too.. TT______TT; though they've allowed me to take the test on that university, i think they'll prolly not allow me to go to that school even though i passed... well it's my second choice.. as for my first choice (dream school!), my dad doesn't want me to go there.. but i think that's the school where i have like 75% of passing.. (hope i don't jinx this! T_T).. he wants me to go to these another university which i think i just have 30% of passing on the test! >_<; lmao.

and lstly, my parents didn't allow me to go to a medical school! *snorts* i really wanna be a doctor and i don't know what has gotten in their minds for not giving me the chance to apply in that school!

argh~

[mistapooh]

Gee, I wish my parents are involve in my school work like yours.

[cynthiaaaaaaaaaa]

HEYYY ! LONG TIME NO TALK...i missed you hun

oh well...that's your dad's way of getting you motivated
to try harder and stuff...my mom does it all the time. i
told her to stop and she sat me down and said like 'ohh
i'm only doing this to make you try harder' and stuff

I HAVE THAT SAME SITUATION! AHHHHH And it drives me insane because I HAVE to do good but I don't WANT to but then I do because it'll screw me over. Ahhhhhhhhhhh.


Anyways. About your parents..
Slap them.
Serisously, I hate when my parents are like that.
They bring me down so much, it's like, SHUT UP if you're not going to make me feel better.
But, I know that my parents aren't doing it to put me down. It's just their way of saying "fighting"


Prove your dad wrong
You'll feel good. Hahahaha.

[silhouette]

my mom says it that i wont get into NYU or Columbia as if its a fact
