Some of this is just a given due to generational in-fighting. Have you ever seen the movieStand By Me? It’s based on Stephen King’s story ‘The Body.’ Anyway, there’s a scene where the dad is griping at his younger son for not looking and acting like his older brother (who happened to have just died). His older brother was the jock, while he was more of an outcast-type. The story was set in the ’60s, I think, but today the narrator could have been a Goth or a skater. You might ask your dad specifically what it is that he thinks you should be. It’ll take a little dragging out, because he’s going to be inclined to say something non-specific like ‘normal,’ to which there is no real definition. Once you get him to admit that he wants you to be a quarterback/honor scholar-type, then you can explain that that’s just not you and how much it hurts that he won’t accept you for trying to fit into your own mold.
