Sorry to hear that your parents are making negative comments regarding your desire to study English and saying that you would fail, even calling you 'thick'.

Our parents should want what's best for us, and should be encouraging and supportive of us, even if they opinions might disagree with what we are doing. In some ways, your parents calling you thick might be emotionally abusive as it's obviously going to upset you.

Try to ignore your parents and focus on your love for the subject. You might want to limit the time you talk with your parents about wanting to study English, if you feel it's going to cause tensions to rise. Do you have other supportive people in your life you can talk to instead? If not, don't forget you've always got TeenHelp
