i went through this entire process while i was learning how to drive a car i was signed up for it by my parents without discussing it first i did the theory part fairly easily wasnt a big deal then i started the actual driving part in my country you have from the day of your successful theory exam two years to complete your practice and have a successful exam most people do it within half a year i did it two weeks before my valid theory exam expired i spent one year with a driving teacher who was verbally abusive and degraded me for the slightest mistakes then i switched instructors the new one was much cooler and we spent a considerable amount of time just trying to undo the damages the previous one did   almost two years of constant stress doing something i didnt sign up for something i hated something i never wanted and something i still hate doing to this very day i hate driving and i avoid it whenever i can but people keep telling me that if i could take the exam then i should just drive more and learn to love it i failed my practice exam 4 times i literally got sick from the stress multiple times i talked to my parents about this they didnt care sure i learned how to drive a car but i also developed immense hate for it  dont force your kids to do something that makes them physically sick
