Hello. I'm a HS junior looking to study in the UK (I'm an American citizen). I've done the research, worked up the figures (I have plenty of money for tuition, living expenses, visa and passport fees, and money to fly back on breaks based on my family's budget), and have found several uni's I'm interested in. The problem is, my mother is less than thrilled with this idea. Her reasons are selfish: she doesn't want me to go far away. I've always been an independent person, and as of late (my mother remarried someone I don't get along with, to say the least), my life has been in the shambles, and I need to get away. Not for a few days, for a while. I've got 2 more years here, which is 2 more years of convincing my mother to let me go away for uni. I've got the grades and the requirements to get in to my schools of choice (I have a 3.3 GPA cumulative, am an AP and Honors student, and part time worker), I just need to convince my mother to let go of her little girl. Advice? Thanks
