how do i deal with studying courses that i don't want
Hey , so i am a computer science major who's passionate about programming and software.However, i hate studying any other courses besides what i like. Like right now , I'm studying Discrete mathematics ,which I'm failing . A lot of rage in growing inside of me ; i just wanna throw my notebook and computer at my professor. The question is how do i deal with this situation ; i have tried studying 7-9 hours daily for this course but it's too hard for me ; it's making me feel so obnoxious. I thought of dropping out of school but my parents refused. Those courses have nothing to do with programming absolutely nothing.

Don't drop out. There are a lot of tools available to help you, have you tried these?
Have you asked the teacher to better explain things? Even if it's a time outside of class, if you tell him how you are feeling and struggling, he should be able to help. Outside of that, have you asked any classmates for help? Often most schools have a tutoring program, is there a tutor that could help you with this subject?
If you don't understand it, of course studying it for 7-9 hours a day will make you angry. Maybe take less time studying on your own and more time with someone who can better explain it.
That being said, considering the date, I'm sure finals are soon approaching. Even if you have to retake the class, don't give up.
Also, I know there is a lot of math that goes into programming. Are you absolutely sure this program won't help you in the future?
The final option would be to see if there are other schools that are more tailored to exactly what you would like to learn. I wouldn't say this as the first option for you to take but if the other things don't help you, it's always an option.
Best of luck

I agree with your parents that dropping out of school is not the answer. That being said you should look at computer Tech school that teach only the area of Computers you wish to study. There are any number of these schools that offer these types of course. The degree you receive is not the same as one you would get from a University or standard collage though it will lead you to a job you want and will enjoy. Most of these schools offer job placement assistance as well.
