I'm Asian yes...Indian to be exact.
Thanx for your advice guys...its helped me think about it a bit more...
Whenever i get into these situations with my parents i always take the 'dont bother fighting back' technique because it makes the fights not last...
I will definately get into shit if they realize i put it in afterwards but by then atleast i'd have a reason to fight for it, seeing as i got in...
But yeah maybe i can negotiate to put it in my preferences
that is a good idea! lol so obvious and yet i didnt even think about it xD

ur reply made me laugh...have you seen russell peters "somebody's gonna get hurt' LOL..that flashed through my mind when you said that :rofl: ...if not..look it up
I don't think my situation is as severe as i first made it seem xD
i was writing in anger..but let me explain...i underlined what i was trying to say..its a bit long and i ended up babbling so no need to read the whole thing
See the thing is, is that i WILL still be doing what my parents approve of.
They really want me to be a doctor and its the last job i'd want and they accept that now.
By preferences are mostly in the medical sci/biomed/biotech area because i do not mind science and i think my mother holds out a faint hope for me to chance my ways -.-' but i would rather do research or something and so they approve of that, but it is just the fact that
i want to combine it with international studies which has them going psycho...
So it isnt about my parents wanting to live through me really (even though they've tried that >< but that is under control). I don't know what it is really. A conflict in my culture? Maybe my mother just feels offended?...Also i'd have to study overseas and they are very strict about me going out of the house ever >< still i need my damn freedom eventually!
So in the end of it, i'll still come out with what my parents think will be good for me. it is just the international studies which i have a interest in majoring in japanes or french that they have issues with.... -.-'
So really it's not even that big of a deal, nor am i going against my family in a major way. They just have 'issues'. But i want to do the international course because it keeps things interesting for me, it gives me oppurtinities i want to take! It's pretty much one of the major reasons i want to go to uni. [/u](i didn't and still don't know if i'm sure i want to go)[/u] its what i really want and its actually lower cut offs then the single degree so i'd have a better chance anyway.
I'm goign to have to pay for my own uni fees anyway (for a fair majority) anyway so they can't say money is really a issue either.
My mother's logic makes little sense sometimes (i mean i got into shit for listening to non-english music/tv and rock music, certain tv shows etc -.- ) and they are strict, but for the most part i think they are just smothering me to much...
Too the peeps worse of then me lol
