My parents don’t care about my future, when it was my Sister’s turn to go to college, they let her choose herself with the Course she had in mind, but now it’s my turn and they are trying to make sure I don’t do the course I want(civil engineering), and this isn’t the first time they’re doing something like this, they always treat me unfairly, sometimes I even wonder if I was adopted

Surely your parents want the best for you.Just communicate with them calmly, they may settle with your choice

A survey was don recently
How do parents regard their child’s future?
Here again parents’ broad optimism is tempered by ambivalence:
70% said their child had a bit or a lot more opportunities than they did as a child;
But two thirds (63%) also said that today children are subject to greater pressures from society than they had to face when they were children;
Indeed, 54% think that “children are under too much pressure these days;”
On whether their child’s chances for financial and professional stability are greater that those they had enjoyed, 44% think they are better, 36% think them about the same, and one in five think them worse;
We asked parents to compare their child’s opportunities for a good quality of life compared with their own: again, parents are fairly optimistic – half think their child’s opportunities better, one third think them about the same.
