Is getting away from home anyone else's source of motivation for success in school?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I don't have a good relationship with my parents, and my siblings annoy me to no end. My family members are a bunch of ignorant fools, rooted in their stereotypical views of the world and its people. I realized early on that I want to get as far away from my family as possible, and I found getting into a good university the best way of achieving this.</p>

<p>Obviously, that isn't my only motivation for success, but whenever my I'm having a bad day or my work gets tough or a family member just said something really ****ing stupid, I like to remind myself that if I keep working hard, I'll be away from this terrible place in just a few semesters.</p>

<p>"We raised you well," they say.
"No, I'm just good so I can get away from you," I think to myself.</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>

<p>Yes, but not because I dislike my family. I want to go to strip clubs, etc without running into people I know. And I plan on trying out nudism, you don’t want your mom surprising you with a visit and walking in on that THAT situation.</p>

Idk, that sounds the best part of going to a strip club. Meeting a pastor/teacher/politician I know would be lolzy.</p>

<p>Yes, but be easy on them and don’t stoop to their level. I’ve realized that being open-minded and just listening sometimes helps. And when you’re in a terrible mood and they annoy you listen to music or start your homework. Even though getting away from family sounds really great sometimes, you’ll probably end up missing them. So, instead of running away you should at least attempt one last time to establish some kind of relationship…</p>

<p>Not really. You only feel this way because you’re a teenager.</p>

<p>And another thing. Mr. Fair Ladyz? ***?</p>

<p>@Harry- Especially if a teacher is one of the dancers! Cause I sure know some teachers at my school I def wouldn’t mind seeing naked.</p>

8

<p>My family is actually moving away from me next year… </p>

<p>My motivation is derived from my massive ego and unnecessary pride. But at least I’m willing to admit it.</p>

9

<p>Same here. That and I want to make a ****load of money.</p>

10

<p>lol yes. not necessarily my family and home, but this town in general.</p>

11

<p>I just want to get out of the cold weather, not my family and home, but mainly the cold, dreary weather here.</p>

12

<p>Yes. Don’t want to discuss it, just need ten characters.</p>

13

<p>Oh hell yeah, I definitely understand that. That’s been my motivation since I entered highschool four years ago. Getting away from this ignorant little hick town, first of all. Secondly, getting away from my blood-sucking brother and his girlfriend. And thirdly getting away from my family in general and all the begging for money and help and all the ****ty terrible memories.</p>

<p>I want to go to college far away, and then get a job overseas so I can find some peace and won’t have to come back to this place. I already plan to make a bunch of money and just send a bunch to my mom and my sister and brother for my little niece and nephews every month so that they don’t bother me.</p>

14

<p>My mother’s kicking me out of the state. But I probably would have left anyway.</p>

15

<p>@OP- Story of my life. I feel your pain but just remember what doesn’t kill you males you stronger~</p>

16

<p>^Or mentally unstable, or physically handicapt.</p>

17

<p>I am ashamed to say this but yes.</p>

<p>I know that I will have times when I will miss them but my whole life has been one of control. I need to be free I would love to go to the movies by myself, or the mall or on a walk past my neighborhood.</p>

<p>I need freedom. My wings are getting cramped.</p>

<p>

I think that’s it, really. Call me an angsty high schooler, but this is what it comes down to. I just want to live my own damn life. Leave me the **** alone.</p>

<p>I can’t count how many times my parents say I’m antisocial/need to get out more/have no friends (I spend all of my time on my computer or reading). Whenever I want to hang out with a friend or go to some club event or school activity, they immediately say no based on a person’s skin color, or if they’re just skeptical of that person. I mean, they can’t trust anyone. If they don’t have the person’s medical records and transcripts, then that person is instantly a drug addict rapist molester murderer gangster. </p>

<p>Perhaps I’ll miss them, but that’s what the holidays are for. I’ll come back for a week, be reminded of why I left, and leave again.</p>
