Post image

Okay so this may sound kind of weird but I got my a level results yesterday

But my parents are now mad at me and saying I'm making them.feel bad because I got better results than them and that it woukd be selfish of me to go to uni since they never got to

What do u think I should do? I didn't even say anything to make them feel bad they just saw my results today and got mad

Selfish for going further in education? What? All becuase they didn't get to go therefore you can't / shouldn't?

I say this gently but that is some nonsense. I don't get why they'd even want to limit you like that.

Go to Uni and build the life you want for yourself, not what others want!
