Why are your parents pushing you to do this. Is it because its something they would like you to do? Or is it good for you? If you know what it is and it is not what you want to do. Talk to your parents, let them know its not what you want to do.

It's important to understand how you are feeling, and once you know what you feel then maybe you should tell your parents that there's too much pressure. Too much pressure will only provide a negative outcome, especially if you have no interest in it to begin with. Remember that it is you who is in charge of your life, and you should not be forced to do anything. If I were in your shoes, I would feel overwhelmed and eventually explode. I do not want that to happen to you, especially not towards your parents. They may think they are doing what is best for you but in the end, you know what's best for you.
