Heart to Heart with Malvika

Published On: May 2, 2017 11:00 PM NPT By: Republica

I am a 17- year- old girl currently taking a year gap after high school to prepare for MBBS entrance examination. I want to study environmental science as I am really passionate about it but I have not been able to share it with my parents. They are obsessed with me being a doctor and would go to any extent to make me one but that’s not what I want. I tried to tell them once but I could not because it felt like I was deceiving them and was shattering their dreams. I feel weak and cannot even utter a word whenever I think of telling them about my passion. I have been over thinking lately and feel depressed and get frequent suicidal thoughts because I feel like I can never fulfill my parents dreams and my own too. Whenever I try to think of any other way of convincing, I am afraid of the shame they’ll have to face because of me .I don’t know what to do .I can’t even concentrate and have become an insomniac .There’s nobody I can share my thoughts with and feel really helpless. How do I convince my parents?
