<p>Are you a Spring admit? If you haven’t started college yet[ this I’m assuming ] then, if you haven’t done so already, start by asking the college if you can defer matriculation for a year. If a reason you aren’t emotionally ready to start college is the college itself, then that is another matter. If you are not ready to attend any college at this time, then pay your parents back the housing deposit, and get outside help. You need to figure out how you got yourself into the situation you’re currently in. More information on your situation might helps us guide you better. But coming to the parents forum on CC was a very wise decision on your part, because you will get great advise from many caring, knowledgeable parents. Welcome to CC. There will always be folks here willing to help you find you way.</p>
