Answer 1

If it is really not feasible for you to go to school because you can't afford room and board on your own, here is a plan that may work:

Get a job

Take classes at a community college & pay for them

Pitch in a little from your job to help mom & dad with bills while you stay there

Your parents may come around and see that you are serious and respect the practicality and maturity of your actions, and you can transfer the credits you earned at community college to a 4 year degree program at a better school. By then, they may be willing to help you while you cut back your work hours to focus on your courseload. The best part is the classes you took at community college can count as your "core requirement" and elective classes.. so when you are paying bigger tuition, it is to take courses in the major you choose.. and not for dumb filler classes.

Answer 2

as you are wanting to spend their money on collage they should have some say in what you study

your choices are simple ether do as they want and have their money or go out on your own and do it your way

Answer 3

You're 18?  Are you serious?  Try this on for size.  You want to be taken seriously, so do something serious!  Get a part time job, apply for college, get a student loan, apply for grants, be proactive and stop being a whiny little *****!  You don't like your situation, so get out of it.  Why do you expect everything to be done for you?  No wonder you aren't taken seriously!  

Best of luck to you and never back down from someone giving you a firm kick in the *** to get you going.

Answer 4

Actions speak louder than words in this situation! Make a move to get a part itme job, show your parents that you are grown up enough to be listened to, they clearly don't look at you as a grown up yet. Find details of what college/course etc you want to do and show them you are serious about your plans. Most children 'hate' their parents at some stage usually when they are stretching their wings ready to fly out of the nest, it's a natural process on the route to independence...which scares most parents because it's a big responsibility for their 'child'! They need to see your maturity to open their ears and hear what you are saying

Answer 5

well i think you should sit down and talk to them about how you feel. i know that may sound all chessy or whatever, but you need to think about how you want to live your life. you either care about your parents isbelif in you, or you care about your dreams. hope that helps  =)
