Laura has some good advice there
I’m sorry to hear that you’re going through this, hun but it does sound as though they are just worried about you and want the best for you.
You’re not a failure! You need to do what is right for YOU.

I’m so sorry you’re going through all that.
From the parent point of view what I can say is that probably your parents are trying to avoid that you make the same mistakes your sister’s did. They want you to graduate, have a career and succeed in life. You are already confused and they aren’t helping you out acting like that.
Try to tell them you need a time out to think and sort out what you want from your life (you probably already have ) and that meanwhile you’re doing the things you like. Probably you have a future with photography, you can make a career as a photographer.
If they are like old fashion Portuguese parents I know what you are going through.
Keep smiling, don’t let this put you down. AND YOU’RE NOT A FAILURE!! Keep that in mind.
