well you will have a better future if you go to college..... and hey maybe when your 18 you will change your mind about going to college.... your dad shouldnt put alot of pressure on you to go to college i mean your only 14 ur practically still a kid!! lol (even though im 13 but still....) lol hope i helped...

Running away isn't the answer. If you don't want to go to college then try telling your dad that. But going to college is a good idea, because you can always get a better job, and you could always be in a band afterward. You most likely won't be in a band for the rest of your life and even though your young you need to be thinking a little about the future.

i wouldnt run away, after high school ur like an adult so i think because u will be older then 14 and more mature then ur parents will be easier on u and maybe u will have more freedom to make ur own decisons, at that age ur parents dont have as much control over u;

Yeah, that IS wrong. Can you blame your dad? He just wants you to have a secure future, going into music is a risky business. Theres no promise. You could easily go nowhere in a band and then you're stuck without money, a house, or an education.
After high school you could take a year off and try the music business, and if after a year its working, stay with it, if it's not...go to college.
College isn't all studying and no fun you know, there's a lot of freedom and there are SO many music based careers you could go into, you could also start a band in college, college isn't all work. There's a lot of fun and partying too, I know plenty of people who have started bands in college.

why dont you talk to him about taken a year off inbetween collage and highschool....musics a hard buisness and if you deffintly want to be in a band you better make sure that you have somthing set up for when your out of highschol

well since your only 14 i wouldnt be thinking too much into your future except maybe what your dad's saying - college,that's cool if you wanna be in band but teen years can end sooner than you think and you probably wount want to be in a band anymore later, and i defintily dont think you should run away with your friends after graduation cause you really dont want to put stress on your dad about worrying where you are all teh time..just agree with everything he saying for you to do liek goign to college you'll probabloy agree with him .. sooner or later :) xoxo

You have four years to think, so I wouldn't worry too much. Also, you're extremely lucky if your parents are willing to pay for u to go to college. Use that oppurtunity. You get so many more options for your adult life if you have gone to college. Seriously. Hope I helpled. If you need anything else just drop one off in the inbox! <3.com

Yeh dont run away.. be lucky you get to go to college =) you dont have to go to college in the day there is also called night school =) just get good grades in highschool just incase.. and dont run away from your dad.. he just wants whats best for you and for your future.. what if you dont go so far with your band? you will always have the college degree, graduating thing lol so u could get into some kind of job or something =) or you can always go to a music school.. idk if theres a such thing but there has to be or should be cuz there is an art school, dance school, so why not? think about it before you decide something you might regret.. and dont worry about it so much your only 14 and tell yer dad that you're pushing him to hard when you are only 14 and u dont wana worry about it soo much right now =) cuz u have a lotta things on your mind, and tell your dad you really want to be in a band.. maybe he has somethings he can make a deal with you with =) hope it works 4 ya!

Running away is probably not the best action 2 take. Sit ur dad down and have a serious discussion about wut u wanna do in ur life. Make sure that u have strong points 2 why u might choose not 2 go 2 college. Also, be mature about it. Don't start yelling or crying if he doesn't agree with u right away. If you don't feel like u can talk 2 him about it, try writing him a letter explaining all the reasons why u might decided not 2 attend college. If u can bring up the subject maturely, then ur dad should b a lot more willing 2 hear u out that if u act immuturely about it. Good luck! Let me know if things work out!

your dad can't MAKE you go to college..if you don't want to go you don't have to. It's your life not his..besides..you'll be 18. You have awhile to think about it yet maybe you'll change your mind

we had a lot of bands that formed in college... just a little something to keep in mind... ;)
