Okay well, all my life I felt like I have grown up all by myself. My parents weren't really there for me. I am the oldest out of four kids, and my parents would always leave us at my grandma's house when we were young. And when I started school they started leaving us at home alone. My parents would always be too tired, so they would never help me with my homework. I felt that I had to grow up and become someone important just so they can pay attention. So I would try so hard at school. I would get straight A's, get awards, and other stuff. But they simply didnt' show that they cared. They just always said "good job" and that's it. As I got older they kept pressuring me to become a lawyer at age 9. I felt so pressured. And now at age 15, I want to tell them that I don't want to be a lawyer. And that I don't want to stay in Anaheim or California. I really want to tell them, but they have so many expectations for me. I mean, they REALLY want me to be a lawyer and stay with them forever. I don't know how to tell them because my mom has panic attacks. And well, my dad can has had strokes in the past. I don't know how to break the news to them without them dying. What should I do? Am I a bad daughter for telling them that I don't want to be what they want me to be? Help, please. (link)

That must be really hard. I can see why you're so worried about breaking the news to your parents though. I don't think your a bad daughter. You just have your own goals and your own dream. your parents might want something diffrent for you but it is your life.You should live it the way you want to. I think mabye you should slowly start droppin hints about how our not happy with the idea of becoming a lawyer, instaed of saying it all at once. That way it won't be a huge shock to them when you finally tell them the truth. I hope this helps ^^ Good Luck!
