Fuck parents that try to decide life for their kids and impose their will on them.

My parents were like this and I was a good boy up until university once I started failing engineering.

Tried to suicide by police but here in Canada they just take you to a mental hospital instead of filling you with lead.

Moral of the story is let your kids be themselves and don’t make them feel bad for having their own interests even if it is not in engineering
