<p>@intparent: Well my parents are divorced and my dad has full custody over me and my brothers. She has her own life. Thank you for the reply! Well I don’t have a bad relationship with my dad, I actually have a pretty good relationship with him. He just doesn’t want me to grow up and stay “daddy’s little girl” forever. I’m sure my dad wouldn’t mind if I took out loans to pay off college and I’m sure he would at least help pay for my living expenses. </p>
<p>He’s not really against my major/career choice. He would just say that he doesn’t know anyone that’s an animator and that’s how he says. He’s just against my college of coice is because of the distance from Baltimore to Manhattan or any other city which is only 1-3 hours depending on what kind of transportation you’ll use. I’m not really too concerned or frustrated about the driving thing, I just want to get my license before I graduate from college. I’m sure he’ll learn to accept my decisions as tme passes or if I prove it to him. Once again, thank you for your feedback! :)</p>
<p>@Naturally: No, I can’t live with my mom. My dad has full custody of me and there would be no point into living with her since I’m about to be an adult. 
Yes, there are people that I can talk to and/or could talk to him. I would usually talk to my father’s dad about it and he fully supports my decision and he’ll explain why he’s like this and stuff. He just doesn’t want me to grow up but he’ll learn to accept my decisions as time passes. Thank you for your feedback! :)</p>
<p>@wis75: I have never seriously rebel against parental controls…I wouldn’t even think of it. It can be just a bit overbearing sometimes that you can’t even have a choice to pick out something that you’ll really like to do or say. Yes, I know that my dad loves and cares about me and I appreciate it but I just feel like it would be nice to make my own decisions.</p>
<p>People can prevent someone from growing up mentally and emotionally but not phsically of course. Being told what to do, how to do it, and/or being taken cared for and sheltered from the world isn’t the best way to get your child ready for life…although I believe that most parents would want the best for their children and keep them from the bad things of the world. I would rather pay and try to acheive my dreams than to do what my dad tells me to do and go the cheapest way out. I would regret it if I didn’t. Yes, there are people such as my guidance counselor, my grandfather, friends, and other family members who I can talk to and listen to me and help with talking with my dad. A few weeks ago, my dad did say that I could just transfer out in my junior year to my first choice college. Not that it isn’t a bad plan but for one, my first choice college lets me declare and work on my major in my freshmen year and 2, what’s the point of going to a college close by (besides for financial reasons) when you plan on transferring out of the place in the first place?</p>
<p>I really like it on how you shared a little bit of your personal experiences with my situation and thank you for your feedback! I really appreciate it! :)</p>
