My friends father treats him very badly because he is not a good performer at school and thus he feels like leaving studying. What do you suggest.

Well, I don't know if what anyone says on here could help with the situation unless the father somehow sees it or is told but I don't think what he's doing is right because your friend will associate learning with negativity. He needs to have faith in him and encourage him. Treating him badly is just going to make the situation worse. I really hope that your friend doesn't give up. Hopefully he's trying as hard as he could in his studies. If he can maybe he can try to get tutoring or join extracurricular activities. That could help him improve. He has to try to think of learning as something positive and try not to resist it. When he has to learn something, instead of constantly thinking about how hard it is or that it's impossible to do he should try to address it in a positive manner. When I was taking a math course in college I tried my best to look at it positively and it made it so much easier (and I hate math with a passion lol). Tell your friend to hang in there and try to have a positive attitude, it can help make a difference. Tell him not to give up. He needs his education and giving up isn't going to make his life any easier.

That father have gone nuts about it. He's not a good example. He doesn't know that education is a lifetime learning, some pass thru it the easy way, and some have gone the hardest way just to attain it. He doesn't have faith in his child. Education is a legacy, not a choice, nor a career to be dictated. Its everybody's choice, its up to us to think whether it will do good or harm us. There some who are not good starter but do good at the end. It doesn't matter how you start, the most important thing is how you end it.
