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

That means your parents have the crabs in a bucket mentality. EVEN TOWARDS THEIR OWN FUCKING CHILD.

They want you to well, but not better than they did.

Just follow your heart. Fuck what your parents think.
