My Parents Want To Pull Me Out of College and think I am worthless

To give you some context -the educated Indian community in the US seems to have produced a lot of kids who are superpeople, and parents start to think this is a norm. Even the kids start to feel this way, and think they are lesser beings if they can’t hit the highest notes.

This is not restricted to any particular ethnic or national origin – take a look at these forums, where parents and students (of any ethnic or national origin) think that any HS GPA under 3.8 or any SAT score under 2000 or any ACT score under 30 is “low” after reading the “where should I [4.0 HS GPA, 2200 SAT, 34 ACT] apply?” threads.
