Teenager heartbroken by parents’ reaction to her career decision

A 17-year-old girl doesn’t feel supported by her parents when it comes to her future career. She asked Reddit’s “Am I the A******” forum for advice. The teenager, from the U.K., wants to be a lawyer but her parents want her to major in English. “When I told them I want to work hard enough to get a scholarship to a law school somewhere in the states or U.K.,” . “they just laughed at me and said I wasn’t good enough for that,” she explained. “This caused an argument, in which I remember very clearly my mom saying ‘good luck in finding new parents, who actually want you'” . The parents have taken to punishing her by not letting her go out with her friends. Reddit users thought the parents were totally in the wrong. “Your parents are nothing but bullies. Work hard, and prove them wrong,” one person wrote
