What do YOU want to do?

What are your passions, things that excite you, things that you enjoy? You don't have to force yourself to do either law or med, because here's the thing: If you don't enjoy what you're doing, you're not going to have a very happy or productive life. You don't want to do a major just to please other people and then go to class, and then work, day in and day out and hate what you're doing. Plus, you'll perform better if you're doing something you actually like rather than something you're doing because you think you have to. If you aren't sure what it is you like yet, that's okay. Take your time.

You are NOT a failure if you don't go into med or law. It isn't fair on you that they're pushing such expectations on you when you're your own person with your own goals. You definitely should decide for yourself no matter what your parents say, because it's you who has to live with your decision for the rest of your life. Want med? Go with med. Want law? Go with it. Want to be an art major instead of either of those options? Heck, be an art major! Don't want to go to college at all? That's fine too. What is the decision YOU can live with and will be the most beneficial to YOU in the long run? Your parents should be supportive of your decision, but if not, that's too bad for them.

You're only sixteen, you have time to decide what you want to do and what your priorities are! Don't rush things and explore your options. You deserve to be happy living your own life, not their life.
