I've always been an average student and I'm quite okay with it. I'm in 11th grade and will be seeking admission for college in a year. I'm a person who waits for the last moment to study and it has never given me trouble yet, hopefully never. I passed my 10th grade with great marks and I'm really proud of myself for it.
coming to the point, my problem. The problem is that my parents, in exact my father, is not at all proud of my marks neither is he happy with it. Its true that I failed for 1 subject , but the others are of ok marks, especially Accounts, I have great marks in accounts.
and I'm really sad that he didn't even say a word about my accounts. And I'll never forgive him for that.

Congrats on Accounts and the other subjects you passed. Your father should be encouraging you in the subjects where you show strength & interest, because this is the year when you’ll make decisions about college and career. Too many parents fail to realize that. They’re stuck in the elementary school mentality where only general knowledge is taught so they expect equally good marks in everything.
But your last years of high school should be more specialized, showing where your strengths are, so you can pursue those. I think it should be normal to fail a class while doing great in another. Parents should see this as a good sign, a clear indicator of your natural directon.
My parents made the same mistake, expecting me to follow in my dad’s science based career path even though I was failing those. They ignored my great marks in English, Literature & foreign languages. I made the mistake of following their direction, going into chemistry and bombing out, when it was clear I should’ve gone into something to do with writing or language.
Don’t let your father influence you negatively like that. I know it sucks when we don’t get approval or validation where it counts. Parents aren’t perfect. But you sound like you have a good logical grasp of things and I hope you don’t let his negativity deter you from seeing your best path in life.
