Same as title, I just want to rant about my situation. I'm a fresher who doesn't even know what to do now, my parents pretty much forced me to take PCMB because 'security' or some shit. Now obviously maths will interfere with my NEET prep but nooo ein logo ko lagta hai ki kyunki i have accha ghar, 'accha' parivar and everyone around me got selected as freshers in JEE I can also do it, but since I'm predicting that I will get only 450 in this year's neet yaar they're been shouting at me and its so frustrating hearing about how my neighbor's kid got into IIT Madras, how this girl who lived in my hometown got 1800 rank in JEE and was a fresher like me this year. I know I myself slacked around a LOT and I'm ready to change, I've prepared a timetable and all but they won't even allow for drop. I swear I don't even think they love me, I think they just wanted kids to show off to everyone for social status. They themselves got marks like 54% in their own boards and think of themselves as so smart.

Hi to all the parents here. I know this is a sub about parenting but I cannot really find a sub that's appropriate for a question like this. I'm (F18) worried about my brother (M13) who's currently in 8th grade right now and he STILL isn't serious about studying. Like no concern. It's so bad to the point that my parents have to force him to sit down and study and he does but he acts like a goddamn 5 year old when he is told to. He shouts at my parents, constantly makes it very VERY obvious that he doesn't want to be there. All he wants to do is just hang out with his friends and go out. And that's fine! But the concerning thing is that he doesn't remember BASIC concepts from his previous classes and honestly I find that very concerning. He even acts so immature that when my parents enrolled him for extra classes, he cries about said classes and insults the teachers who teacher there.
It's honestly pissing me off and making me confused at the same time... like what's going on? I mean i was pretty immature when I was his age but not to the point where I actively avoid homework.... Just to give some context about my home life, my parents do verbally and physically abuse him if he doesn't get good grades or if doesn't listen to them (same goes for me). Is it because he isn't serious about anything? Or that he associates studying with my god awful parents?? Is there anything I can do to make him sit down and improve even a bit academically?
