Im 19. LIve with my super strict parents. Advice?
So Im 19 and my curfew is around 11 pm. I rarely get the permission to drive my car at night(this is always a fight or argument to get permission to drive at night). Incredibly strict rules. I think Im mature enough to do a lot of stuff.
Note: Not to brag but Im a 4.00 second year student with chemistry as my major. I think Ive proven my maturity.
Im thinking about joining the Air Force
Answer:
join the Air Force
Get a job and move out.
well talk to them first and second give them a break! i mean they raised you for 19 years! that's 19 years sacficed just for you! thanks them in that way and sit down and talk to them one day! maybe they are being strict for a reason!
I think you should just suck it up and finish school.you should be 21 by the time you graduate. After that, you're a free man.
i think u can solve this on your own get a job and move out
You should move out, you are an adult now. Joining the Air Force is a big step especially with the war going on. You are an intelligent adult, I think you will do fine on your own.
it's safer not to drive at night, just look at the road toll
well since you chose to live under there roof you need to respect there rules
I would move out! That is sad
well as long as you live under their roof, you have to follow their rules..
Get a job and an appartment. Or move with a friend or Girl/Boy friend.
Get out on your own.
Move out. You are certainly old enough. I had just turned 17 and hadn't even finished highschool when I got my first apartment. Although, I have to admit that my mother made me call her and check in every night LOL (true story)
I think you should move out.And deal with life how you want it 2 beeeeeeeeeeee.
join the Air force then go to war in Iraq and get killed
Good idea
If you can put up with it until you are done with college you will benefit for the rest of your life. In the meantime, consider asking your parents to slack off on the strictness. You might use the threat of joining the military to get away, they might have second thoughts if they want you to continue with college.
move out - or join the air force - my son just did and he was a 4.0
it helps if you have maturity and brains as well - you can go a long way...
good luck honey - i wish u the best!
The only advice I can think of is to move out! I don't know if that's at all a possibility in your situation, but if it is I'd say go for it. You could maybe convince your parents if your college has dorms to move there. Tell them it's a good transition to being on your own. Tell them they're not letting you grow up and you feel it's going to limit your ability to become a successful adult. What do they expect you to do when you graduate? Move out, start a career, and become independent all at once? Tell them that's unreasonable.
Like it or not, but as long as you are living under their roof and being supported by them. You will need respect their rule.
If it is unbearable and they are not willing to compromise or negotiate, then it is time to start saving to move out. If you have a friend who is willing to be room mates that can help with cutting some of the expenses.
WELL YOUR 19 GOT TO GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER WHO CARES ABOUT 4.0
YOUR 19 WITH A CURFEW OF 11 WOW I WAS 13 AND I GOT MIDNIGHT
AND IF YOUR JOING AIR FORCE DONT JOIN TO MAKE YOUR PARENTS WORRIED THAT U MIGHT DIE SO THEY SHOULD LEAVE YOU ALONE I KNOW ALOT OF PEOPLE THAT
19 GO TO COLLEGE AND A APARTMENT
Move out, as soon as possible. It's no good for either of you.
Those who pay the bills hold the power.
Move out on your own if you can't "handle it"
But I think a better idea is to live with it until you are done with college and just focus on school.
It's gotta suck, still being considered the "kid", but you will be a lot better off staying at home and just dealing for a few more years. Good Degree = Good Money and you can live however you like at that point.
Joining the air force at this point might be a bit extreme, unless it's a desire.
Freedom and responsibility isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Well, you aren't going to get your freedom in the Air Force. You'd be going from bad to worse and too quickly. (meaning your freedom- time to spread your wings-nothing bad about the USAF)
I think your parents just worry, it's a crazy world we live in. If you aren't old enough to drink, where do you want to go after 11?
You do need some freedom, because you sound like you're being suffocated. Try to talk with the parent who is more approachable, and ask to have your curfew extended to midnight. That would be a start.
Good Luck!
You're an Adult now. Either pay your parents some rent money to continue staying there, or move out. The Air Force would be a fine choice. America could use some 4.0 people in our military.
Their house - their rules. Who is paying for school, insurance, food, gas, clothes, phone... ? Move on campus, get you own place, pay the bills. Then your house - your rules.
join the airforce..your parents cant hold you back anymore..do whatever you want
Go ahead and brag that's a great average! :)
Don't join the Air Force, finish school. Are your parents paying your tuition? Are they allowing you to live in their house free of charge? How about food and phone calls and utilities? Are they covering all of that? Does you mom still do your laundry and put it in your room for you? I'm guessing the answer to at least SOME of these questions is "yes".
THAT said, you're legally an adult but you're still underage for all the drinking and bar and club scenes, so what do you need to be doing out past 11pm anyway?? Get home and go to bed so you can maintain that kick *** average.
Whose car is it? is it THEIR car that you borrow when you need it or is it actually YOUR car? If it's their car, then you're out of luck, they want it in the driveway by 11 then that's where it needs to be. If it's your car then you should try to talk to them about the idea that legally, you're allowed to be out on the roads at night and when you have plans with friends you will be smart, responsible, and careful when you're out.
Sad to hear Jake...I wish my 20 year old got better then a 2.00 and he just walks around llike he owns the place.
Please stick with it. I know it's hard because I came from an abusive background, not to say that that is the issue here. Do well because in the end the only one that will benefit is you.
My hats off to you also because it appears that you still retain the respect for your elders...ok, even when you know that they are wrong or too harsh. It will build a charactor in you, and a set of morals, that will make you stand out in the future and excell at whatever you do.
It's not too much longer, stick with it, I know you can. And congratulations...your personality and what you will grow into will make you one in a million.
you are 19.
What are you doing living at home. Find an apartment with a roommate. get a job to pay for it and go to college.
start living your life and take charge of your life. Don't be a burden to your parents.
recommend staying out of the military especially if you do not like curfews and being controlled.
