I'm 19 years old and I live with my parents. Why you ask? It's about a 5 minute walk from the college I attend, and plus, free rent. But the downside of that is I have to deal with my parents. I have come to an age where everything they do gets on my nerves. I love them dearly but I would love to move out.
I have to go to bed when they do. I can't stay up past the time they go to bed or my dad will get angry.
Last night I stayed up all night because I was afraid I was going to sleep in. I'm starting a new job about 1 1/2 hours away from here for the summer and I have to wake up at 6am every day. My parents keep saying "You're going to have a tough time there." That really upsets me for some reason.
Even with school work, they'll be like, "Study! Or there's a job at Wal-Mart waiting for you". That makes me feel depressed. fallen.gif I hate it. I hate living here. This past semester I got a very bad GPA and I know that I will be on academic probation next semester. I don't want my parents to find out what I got or the fact that I am going on academic probation because they want me to get full A's in my classes and if I tell them, I'll feel as though I let them down.
What I would love to do is move out of town, and go study school somewhere fun, and nice. God, I wish that were true.
I also forgot to mention that the other day I was saying to my mom that I was really cold that day. She said in response, "I don't know". They're not even listening. mad.gif

well if u think u're ready to move out then maybe u shud, but before u do u gotta make sure you've got everything covered, u gotta make sure u are responsible enough to budget your expenses. there are alot of bills to cater for and sometimes even alot of sacrifices to make. don't make rational decisions. yes, sometimes u'd think your parents don't understand you, dicourage you tis and that but after all they're your parents and u know u'd mean the world to them, after all blood's thicker than water. what they want for you esp your education is not for them but for your own future. the older you get the mroe the responsibilities and at that time u'd turn back to see how much your parents have cared for u. i agree that in some point in life, you've gotta be independent and move on, take care of them instead of having them take care of you and living alone does train u to be more independent and responsible, so i think it's worth a try if u think ur'e ready for it. just tell them your plans and and ensure them that u're old and responsible enough to take care of yourself so they wouldn't have to worry. tell them that you love them and show them your care and concern, if they're not ok with it the first time u tell them, try pursuading them slowly and patiently. good luck girl*
