Not ready
15/f
i am going into my sophomore year of high school this year and i have a very attatched relationship with my boyfriend, and my friends.
My parents are already planning where they are going to retire, and where i am going to go to college.
Im not ready for these changes yet!
I want to stay right here, and go to college here like my friends & like my boyfriend are doing.
I really dont want to leave, and their throwing this all in my face and i am only still a kid
I cant handle this stress.
I dont know what to do, i just had to tell someone.
Im really attached to my home, and i dont want to leave.

Well first off, you are right. You don't have to worry about that just yet. ENJOY YOUR HIGHSCHOOL TIME WHILE YOU HAVE IT. Those 4 years go fast, so don't rush it, and don't let anyone make you rush it. And as for where you go to college, that's YOUR decision. If you don't want to go far, then that's up to you to decide. But also remember that things can change between now and the time you have to actually make that decision. By then you might have a completely different outlook on what you want to do and where you want to go. A lot can change in those few years.
But in the meantime, just don't stress too much about it. Take everyday as it comes and enjoy your teenage life =)

Do your parents know how you feel? If you already spoke to them and they still insist on moving then maybe they have a good reason for going, but I have a feeling that that reason is to place you in the college of their choice. If you do move, keep in mind that your parents can't make you go to a specific college. You chose the college you go to, NOT your parents. When you turn 18 you will be an adult and can go where ever you want. If I were you, I would finish up high school at whatever place your parents move to, then when you graduate, you can go back the town where your friends and boyfriend are and go to college with them. Your parents can't stop you from doing so. You could also see if you can live with a friend so you can finish high school with your friends and boyfriend. Don't be so stressed about moving though. It's not that bad. As a army brat, I've moved several times. It allows for fresh starts and new perspectives, and new friends. Since you are only 15, you may change your mind in the future, but remember, it is your choice what you do after you graduate. Don't be a victim, because you aren't one. Your parents aren't just "throwing this in your face" I'm sure you have been aware that your father would retire at some point in time. Your parents happiness is just as important as yours, so you can't force them to stay. You can only choose to stay with a friend, or wait until you graduate to come back. Good luck.
