I like fairies (thus why I am wearing fairy wings in the picture). Good grammar rocks, too. It doesn't have to be perfect but I get frustrated when people completely disregard it. I like every color except pink. I hate the wind. Sometimes, I carry around a little teddy bear I found at an antique store. His name is Robert. I dress very eccentrically. It's not unusual for me to wear a prairie dress one day and a Mod dress (think Austin powers) the next. I don't dye my hair, or wear much make-up. I think it's sad that no one puts any emphasis on natural beauty anymore. I think it's a good thing to be open and educated about sex and other issues that are considered taboo. I have a hard time seeing where homophobics are coming from.
Basically, I'm just some weird teenager in Arizona. If I haven't scared you off already, feel free to drop me a line. -Danielle

17/f. My mom is vehemently against my going to college in the fall of this year, she wants me to wait a year. I applied to various schools without her knowledge or consent because I'm not willing to wait a year before going. I sent off my enrollment deposit to the school I'm going to and I've been working with my principal and my Gifted and Talented coordinator, trying to get my mom in to a meeting to discuss the prospects of me going in fall. Well, she's refused to go to the meeting, thinks I'm still waiting a year. I have to send in the tuition and housing deposit and forms to my school, and they have to be signed by a parent since I'm under 18, but I called the school and explained my situation and they agreed that I could sign it myself. So now where I'm at is, I could just leave in fall, go off to my college, and my mom wouldn't have to know until shortly before I do it. I'll only be 17 1/2 by August and I made sure that if she called the police or social services they wouldn't be able to take me back...but now I'm kind of stuck. I have people that are willing to help me move up there and I have a good-paying summer job so I'm set financially, but I don't want to cause a family rift. I'm sick of my mom controlling me, but as much as I want to rub this in her face because of the way she's treated me over the years, I don't know if I can. Do you think I should?
Thanks (link)

Holy shit. You are one bad ass chick.
Wow... as a just turned 18/f going to college in the fall, I could never imagine being the in place you are, as my parents have always been supportive of my going off to college...
This whole thing sounds more like a maturity issue with your mom... at this point it just seems like she's being stubborn and wants to prove a point. As your mother, she needs to support your dreams. Part of your dream is to go off to college right now. She should be happy and grateful that she has a driven and smart child like you. If this causes a family rift, then so be it. It's not like you're going out, doing drugs, partying every night. You're not doing anything wrong and she shouldn't make you feel like shit for having a little ambition. (or a lot).
Keep in mind though, right now you are the bigger person. If you rub this in her face, you're kind of bringing her down to your level. Sure, it will make you feel great to be like "look what I did- WITHOUT you" but trust me, it will have more of an effect if you just leave and show no emotion for her opinions or reactions whatsoever. I'd say, stay the bigger, more mature person in the situation and you'll be sure to keep what power you've obtained for yourself.
