My parents constantly doubt me
My parents think i am not worthy of doing anything good.. I am an international law and diplomacy student, when i got into the university i had some boyfriend issues which ruined my first year my grades were really low and my parents complained bitterly, but when i got to the 2nd semester of my 2nd year i did better, my 3rd year came and i did better than ever i had a 4.25gpa my parentd were happy but ddnt get me anything 4 it... I just finished my 2nd semester of my 3rd year and i also did well, but even with all dis results my parents are always shouting dat i dont read that i am always looking at fashion mags and all yes i love fashion and the annoying thing is that they say this things infront of my junior sis and brother... My dad always compares me to her, when io was in high school, they university i wanted to go to they didnt allow me, my dad ,made sure i went to the university of his choice, but now my junior sister wants to read medicine she said she wants to school in america and they are striving hard to send her there, when a result of hers came out yeterday no one scolded her my mum even said its probably that her result was sold i know if i were d one they wud scold me, somedays ago i told my mum that i would like to do a masters in arbitration in america she discouraged me she said if i get a good job here in africa what will i be doing with the masters.... They always complaun that i dont read and it makes my self esteem depreciate especially when they keep praising my younger sister, sometimes i even get jealous my dad shouts at me all the time about not reading and i know i read so hard thats why oi make good grades now but bcos they dont see me reading a newspaper or a novel the presume i dont read, whenever my hunior sister wants to read she takes her books infront of my parents so hat they would see her reading but i dont do that i read when i want to not when they want me to read... My junior sister wants to go 2 america not necessarily bcos she wants to read medicine but bcos she has never been there before and also bcos she says all her friends are going there to study, back then when i brought up the idea of going to another school of my choice just within where i stay they refused... I have never had the chance to do what ever i want to do with my life i feel so sad i feel like they dont think i can become someone better in life when i tell them dat i read they say its a lie i dont know what to do pls i really need an advice

... so in summary your parents doubt you?
This is simple.
Do exactly what you want to do. Whatever you think will make you successful and happy in life, go do it.
Break down your goal into achievable steps and do each one. If you fail, dont give up, or try something else.
Ignore their doubts about you-- prove them wrong! PROVE to them that you are the one who can do all the studying and reading. If they dont help you, then stand on your own. You sound like an ambitious person, Im sure you can do it, even if it might be difficult.
