Is there something wrong with me that my parents don't like what I'm doing with my life?
I'm a part time college student now (for the first time), has a part time job, volunteer at my old elementary school throughout the whole week and ocassionally participate in community theatres and spoken word events. But, something seems to be bothering my parents, and I just can't fight with them anymore about how hectic life is now. They're really bitchy out at me since my hs graduation, and I have totally given up on trying to convince them or clear their minds about my plans for the future. They always have something to say about what I want to be, and wants me to live the life they want me to have, but I don't want to give up somethings that I love doing and compassionate about. I really can't think about leaving home, because I'm too close to everyone around me, and not that financially stable. I definitely can't quit on my job, stop my volunteering for a poverty level school, stop expressing myself and representing life through the arts or give up on things that I wish to continue as my career. I'm really stressing out recently like never before, because back in hs, I didn't have anyone messing with my life, and graduated with honors. But now, I just can't figure out what I can do with my life. I'm being pressured to drop everything in life, and finish school as soon as possible and search for a job that pays well. They recently told me to not go school at all, and just get a full time job, and support them financially (paaying the bills, buying food, etc.), but that's not what I want. Seems impossible to keep them satisfied, so what should I do now that my options are very limited? Is it something I'm not doing well enough or not trying hard enough?
