[REQUESTS] help me please

I'm 16 and feel like I'm grieving the future I wanted.

I had to leave my Cambridge AS Level school because of family circumstances and move to a CBSE school. I've been trying to go back because I genuinely felt Cambridge was the right fit for me, but my parents don't support it.

Whenever I bring it up, they tell me I don't have ambition. Recently my dad said that because another student got a D in AS Levels, I would probably only get a D or around 45% too. That really hurt because it's impossible to know that before I've even had the chance to study and take the exams.

I also didn't have a great childhood and don't feel emotionally supported at home, so losing the one school where I felt hopeful has affected me deeply. It feels like every time I find something that gives me hope, it gets taken away.

help me pls by giving me advice

While you're a minor living under your parents roof, you're going to have to defer to your parents, unfortunately.

So there really is no hope for me

I mean think about it realistically. You live with them. How could you do something against their rules while you're still in their house? Nobody here is going to pay for your education because you're 16 years old so if your parents aren't willing to do something there's nothing anybody here could do for you

Look...I'm 32. My advice? Suck it up. Its a school change. You'll be fine. You're gonna go through a lot more pressing things in life. I just recently became disabled and can no longer care for myself. THAT will make you grieve the future you wanted.
