Question

Answer 1

First of all, play the traditional teen card and ignore you parents, at least for the time being. This is about you and your ambitions.

Second, if you really want to be a stockbroker then you need to work at your studies. You say you're semi intelligent, you say that you know your grades will let you down - then you yourself know that you need to buckle down and do something about them.

If you really do start to work hard, you will find it much easier to achieve your dream, plus hopefully when your grades pick up your parents will get off your back.

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

just develop this interest you have, read and research

I say this because there have been some extremely successful people who have had years of people telling them negative things that would stop most people but they somehow just came into their own and have better jobs than alot of people (some people were told they had learning disabilities and developed amazing skills and became very very successful) Maybe you need to give your parents a break because they probably sense you can do better than you are doing, they just maybe aren't expressing themselves in the right way!

Answer 3

First, I'd lose the attitude with  your parents... it shows that you are disrespectful.  If you think working for your parents is tough, wait until you get your first real boss.  Always be respectful of everyone, whether they deserve it or not.  I also think that before YOU have respect for yourself that you must see your work as a good quality effort.  Do your best, read ahead when you can, and spend more time studying than you ever have before.  A couple hours a day is a good start... four hours a day is even better.  Double your efforts, and you'll double your progress.  Good luck.

Answer 4

o my sister is going into business : ) well the best thing for you to do is apply yourself to your studies dont listen to your parents you need time alone to think about it. parents just put on pressure and make things more stressfull. i suggest just talking to them and telling them that you need alone time and to gather yourself and most parents wont respect your need to break away. i mean you sound very smart because your looking for help

Answer 5

I hope you are a Christian because what I'm getting ready to say is going to depend on it.

Bishop Paul S. Morton, of New Orleans, Louisiana, made a CD, which is his latest, and the very last track on that CD is entitled, "Be Blessed." It speaks about praying for one another. In these last and evil days we as Christians need to pray for Non-Christians, Non-Believers, and Christians. It says in the song,"...I'll pray for you, you pray for me, and watch God change things." So I will pray for you that you might become one of the World's most successful stockbrokers, like Chris Gardener, and you pray for yourself, or me, it dosent matter just pray for somebody, REALLY YOURSELF. You can do it!

Oh, and your parents aren't b******s!!! (FROWN)

Answer 6

stop blaming others and take responsibility for yourself.  If you want to be taken seriously, you will have to apply yourself and make good grades.  Are you working too much?  Partying too much?  Got a high maintenance relationship that is taking up too much of your study time?  If so, you need to cut out all the extra stuff and crack down on the books and STUDY!  Don't set yourself up to fail school or else you'll be working fast food for the rest of your life.

Answer 7

For starters, why don't your try to calm yourself down and not call your parents b******s. I think that would help a lot. Act like a mature and responsible person and tell them you'll try your best & that the pressure they're putting on you is not helping at all and that you hope that they'll be contented with whatever grade you get. If not, at least try not to gripe about how "not good" your grades are. Grades don't reflect a person's intelligence. Just do your best and don't let anger get ahead of you.

Answer 8

Seriously?  Quit blaming others, get off your backside, and work for what you want.  If you intend to be a stockbroker, you'd better also intend to quit whining and work your butt off...because that's what it takes.

Your grades don't let you down, your parents don't let you down, you let yourself down.  Decide what you want and work for it.  Quit relying completely on what your parents want from you and work toward your own goals.
