<p>My parents are forcing me to sign up for a college I don't want. "Well gee," says you, "You didn't have to." Um, yeah, I did. I'm so sick of fighting about this. I have given them every discussion under the sun about why I should be allowed to go where I want, but the problem is, this problem is not about college at all. It's about control.
My parents cannot control me if I move out and they know this so their idea from the beginning has been to keep me here so I can be miserable. Oh, and it doesn't end there. I'm not allowed to pick a major I want because of "mother dearest". I have given her at least four options, but none of those were even good enough.
"Well," says you, "The answer is simple. Move out." Yeah, as great of an idea that would be, I live in a small town with no car. I have no job. I have no family or friends to stay with; believe me, I've tried. This place is making me so miserable, it makes me want to kill myself so staying here is not an option.
Yet, if I move, I will have no way of paying for college even if I do want it. I am NOT taking out student loans. FORGET IT. SO basically, I'm screwed either way unless someone else can come up with a solution. I don't think I'm eligible for the lottery if I don't go into college straight away which I do not want to begin with because of mental health problems caused by... DING DING DING: my family.</p>
<p>Unless you ED somewhere, you still have time to take out the deposit. Did you apply elsewhere? Did you get aid? I know it’s late, but I’m sure if you talked to your guidance counselor, you could still find somewhere that offers merit based aid and apply. As for the major thing, do whatever you want, they won’t find out, and by the time they do, it’ll be too late.</p>
