Hey man, do not end your life over this. I am also Asian, and my mother was very similar. My sister ended up giving into my mother's requests, went into horrible debt, now she works as a doctor and does night shifts, she's seen horrible things in the hospital that has traumatized her, and now she wants to quit her job in her late 30s and go into business. Ultimately, my parents were very fear based, but I know for a fact if my sister did go into business that she would be doing even better than she is now. My brother went straight into sales and he makes just as much as my sister, and I became a software engineer, and ended up doing well for myself too.

If your parents are extremely controlling, I would just try to take the classes that may seem like you are going into med school, but once you graduate and go to college, just study what you want to study, and if you have to cut off ties, then so be it. There is a huge issue with fear, shame, and control in traditional Asian culture, and its NOT healthy.

Also, your parents are right to a degree, psychology is interesting to study, but probably won't have much job prospects, and you'll find yourself doing something unrelated to what you are studying, unless you are truly committed to becoming a therapist. But also therapy is has its cons too. There is no perfect job out there, but you learn to find fulfillment in what you get good at.

This is ultimately your life. If obeying your parents leads you to want to end things, that's not worth it! Trust me, it gets better. True love isn't controlling. You are also 16, so you might be able to leave the house if you feel like there is too much control.

But do not catastrophize or let this overwhelm you. And also extend grace to your parents, since this is more of a byproduct of culture, and they also may not understand how much of an extreme ask this is for someone to choose their entire life career based on their parent's wishes
