Hello Tejas, Well, no one is perfect. So, don't think that you are worthless just because you are not getting marks in a exam. This just means that you need to look into your interests and start doing what you like. Focus on learning more than getting marks. As for parents, that's totally upto you because you have to make them understand that you want to do something else. Your parents might get mad at first but afterall you are their son so they will understand the meaning behind it. And for other people who are judging you, let them judge, they have been judging all their lives and they will die at last after doing only one thing in their life i.e nothing. You are not like them, you are better. Get up and tell your parents, don't be scared in telling the truth.
