My dad is actually crazy
So I, Science and math addicted 13M told my dad the other month that my goal was to get into MIT. Earlier today i showed him one math meme i found, and all of a sudden he starts going off on a rampage.
he starts telling me that kids who get into MIT tinker with stuff and build stuff, which i know is true, but then says that I lack motivation to build anything. But the thing is the last few times I wanted to build something like a small jet engine, he said "that's impossible and that the guy is a professional and you can't do it." He also said most stuff like that the other times.
I tried bringing that up but he brushed it off. He won't let me try to do it and stealing my motivation to even try to build something. What should I do?
