After high school?

Question

What to expect after high school how hard is it to get on track after turning 18 and no longer having your parents take care of you?

Answer 1

depends on what you're doing, if you're living on your own it would be hard, but if in school and living on campus you should have nothing to worry about so it depends on your situation

Answer 2

Sheiz, it's not too TOO bad... when you have ppl there to help you. Don't rush too fast to break away though... It's a tough world alone... I'm already into c**p with collections, credit cars, and other stuff. AND I'M ONLY 19!!!! But things are starting to look up. Just remember the ppl that are there to help you and you'll be fine.

Answer 3

I am sure the answers could get dismal on here from others.  So here's some positive advice:

You have choices.  People in the real world want to see proof that you are someone who is about something that benefits others, not just yourself.  Job@ a Company: increase profits for company.  College student: how will what you do in life will make a difference in humanity.  

Build a "track record" of service to others along side your day to day living.  On that note:  Nothing comes for free.  Use your good looks to your advantage.  Know that you are starting at the bottom and have to pay your dues.  Bust your a$$ always.  Limit credit cards.  Pay for things outright as much as possible.  Live within your means.  Treat your family & friends well.  Honor your word.  In tough times, family & friends will help you.  And try to be the best listener in the universe!

Reality- it is tough for everyone.  Good luck!
