What do I do?


Question Posted Friday April 13 2007, 11:55 am

Okay, so I go to this really like.. stupid school.. as in, I'm smarter than like 90% of people there.. So that means I get a high class rank, etc. & even free community college because of that.

Unfortunately, living with my mom is a complete hell. Honestly, it is pure emotional abuse with her. Of course, she IS a mom, and she does have her really nice moments, but she says I always have an attitude and completely goes off on me for that, saying I'm stupid and irresponsible, etc.

Everyone tells me that I'm about the nicest person ever and that she's wrong.. Even my dad. Which is why he divorced her. So, I sorta want to live with him, even though he is never home & always working & sometimes he can be a little harsh. Also I would be going to a sorta hard school and no free college or anything. & no seeing my boyfriend in school.. :[ & having to make new friends & stuff

So.. Should I stick it out for 3 more years or start a whole new life.. with more challenges :[?

Stay with your mom. Once you're in college, you won't be home as much as you are now. My older step-brother goes to a community college and lives at home, but he only comes home to sleep because he has class and works part-time.

You should consider working while attending community college to save money and separate you from your mom.

Believe me, once you move out of your mom's house, you probably won't ever have the chance to move back in, even if you're in financial trouble.

I think you might should consider going to you dads. If your as smart as you say you are, you need to be challanged as much as you can. What are the pros and cons of the different schools? Does the school at your dads offer more opportunities for you? That's just my input, you really are the only one that knows all the circumstances, and you should think really hard on what you think is best for YOU. Good Luck!

I'm not here for ratings, so you're gonna get the truth. Rate me 1's, I don't care.

Stay with your mom. As much as her comments can hurt, you're gonna get stuff like that from everyone. Everyone in life is gonna give you shit. Not everyone is gonna like the things you may say & do. People are always gonna critisize the things you do, and they're always gonna give you an obstacle. It's life. No one is gonna hold your hand, and tell you everything's okay. No one is going to baby you. You're not a baby. You're a young adult. It's best to act like one & stop caring what people say to/about you. Yeah, she's your mom. But your mom is always gonna give you shit. My mom does, my friend's mom does, her cousin's mom does. Everyone's mom gets on their nerves, and everyone's mom gives them shit & insults them. Some kids get along great with their parents, but they have their moments.

Stick it out for 3 years. You'll learn to deal with people who give you a hard time, and people who put you down. You'll know how to react when someone does, and how to ignore it. And call me crazy, but why the hell would anyone want a challenge? Yeah, it's nice to know what you can overcome, but starting over doesn't sound like fun, especially when it's not needed. When you're 18 & graduating, yes, then you have to start over. But you don't right now. So stick it out, learn to deal, let the comments roll off your shoulder, & stay there. Besides, if you move in with your dad, no more boyfriend, and new friends that are gonna be hard to make. And you're smarter than everyone there. You should feel good about that. That means only 10% of the school is above average, like you.

It's okay if you rate me bad, but I honestly think you should stay with your mom and just ignore her rude remarks. If you just ignore her, she'll probably stop. She won't have any excuse to say that, because you won't care. She's doing it because she's obviously a rude person and trying to bring you down. But don't let her. Try to avoid her as much as possible. When she says that, just look the other way, or say "ok" or something. Give her the silent treatment. Or say "thanks." But really, school is very important. And this is a GREAT opportunity for you! I say, stay there and ignore your mom.
