leaving the state


Question Posted Thursday June 14 2007, 7:52 pm

k so i live in NY. i've lived here all my life and im tired of it, i want to leave NY to go to college but my mom wont let me. this is the first major life decision that should be my choice and she's fighting me about it. i need to leave NY, it'll drive me nuts if i dont. i've already found 2 nice colleges in VA and Massechusetts. how can i convince her to let me go...by the way im an only child, not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Living really far away from a close relative is hard. (Especially for moms) The reason why mothers like to keep their sons/daughters is because they really care about you and want to take care of you 24/7. Yeah. Crazy, I know. But if you explain to your mom, a THOROUGH, complete explanation of moving, and state what will IMPROVE your life to become a better person or student, she might really understand! Point out really good facts and points that would make yourself, and your mother happy to the point where she agrees with you to go off to college. Tell her that it is your decisions and your life (and you're just living in it, mom) Haha, just kidding about the last part BUT you should explain to her in a formal manner. Be assertive, assuring, and strong about what you'll tell her. Don't give up to what you WANT. Never give up :) Follow your heart, ok? :D Haha. You take care and I hope I really helped. <3

to make your mom happy pick something that is maybe on the edge of ny and another state or some where close so she still will feel like you need her
