I am a little weak in maths but I am good in all other subjects. But my parents always scold and make me cry just for poor marks in maths. They don’t even care for my talents. They think writing poem and drawing cartoons are just a waste of time. They don’t allow me to play or watch T.V. I feel like a prisoner in my home. My dad doesn’t even let me talk to my friends or to go on Facebook. They just want me to study maths. What should I do?
Sometimes, out of love for their children, parents become over-protective and over-anxious about them and their future. This seems to be happening in your family. Parents should never forget that their duty is to discover the talents God has given to their children and help to develop them. An encouraging attitude will work wonders rather than frequent scolding and prohibitions, which will lead to depression and loss of self-esteem. Confide your problem with a school counsellor or one of your teachers, so that they can talk to your parents and help them change their negative attitude.
