<p>Yes, it is. Especially for someone who just brought an entire family to a new culture. That is probably why your father is so reluctant to let you have any freedom. While I can understand why he feels the way he does, that doesn’t make it what’s best for your future. Is there someone from your country who has lived here a little longer, someone your Dad respects and who can tell him about why you need to do more than go to class in order to be successful here?
YOu and your brother can probably find instructions on how to fix the brake light for your make and model of car online. The bulb will be well under $10 at an auto parts store or even a major discount store like WalMart (unless you have a very unusual car).</p>
