Hi, I am a college student who is unsure whether to withdraw from a class I feel that I might not get an overall good grade in. I want to withdraw, but my PARENTS are telling me not to. They are the ones who will yell at me and get mad at me if I get a bad grade in there. It will be me in the end who feels the outcome and consequences. So, do you think it should be my decision whether to withdraw from the class or not? I will be wasting about 250 dollars, but is it not better than seeing an F ? How can I persuade my parents that are strongly for not withdrawing?

Should I make my own decision for this type or matter or just listen to my parents' decision and follow it?
