i know my account's like a few days old but idc.

anyways, im a teen who likes to draw stuff and make characters. i like memes too. my dad is rigid and very strict about my future. he wants me to be a scientist or engineer when i wanna be something else. he gets mad at me for wanting a different career path and says that it's not a choice.

my future looks grim.

Hey @teacuuupux3 ! Welcome to Cups. How are you like being here so far?

I'm sorry to hear that you are having a hard time with your dad right now. It can be really hard when we want to do something but family want something else. I know you said that he gets mad at you for wanting to a different career path, but I'm just wondering if you have been able to talk to him about how you're feeling? Sometimes, actually verbalizing what we want to say can be hard. But writing it down in a note or email/text can be easier. How would you feel about doing that?

Its great that you are so creative though! We have an Arts & Crafts Sub Community that you might have fun checking out other peoples drawings and maybe sharing your own?

We also have a Teen Only Zone where you can connect with other teens ๐Ÿ˜Š

@beck1

i like being here. it's peaceful. i think i talked to dad about the fact i dont wanna follow his footsteps...im not sure. he probably wouldnt like me having my own decisions about life.

and those two communities you mentioned sound nice.

Hi there,


Welcome to 7 cups of tea.


I am sorry you are not getting on well with your father.

I see you like drawing. I am sure you are not the only one who likes drawing here. I hope you'll find a group where you can share what you like here.

If you were to follow your own interests/dreams/inclinations, what path would you take to get there? What degree would you pursue? What job would you want? Perhaps if you mapped it out for yourself and ultimately for your dad the two of you could come to some kind of compromise and agreement.

Is it possible to have a double major? Is there an engineering career that relies on artistic abilities? What would you and your father think of a career in architecture?

Attending a university expands and opens our minds. I imagine that there are many solutions to this problem. Give it time, get started and see where your unique path leads you. itโ€™s a journey.
