    How do I get my parents to support my idea of moving away for college
    Well this topic sort of goes both for school & getting my parents to be proud of me & support me on moving away so I can go to college.

    I'm not really worried about what my father has to say in this but I am concerned about my mothers reaction. I have tried plenty of times to get my mom to support me mentally about moving to another city. We live in southern Florida & I would like to move back to central Florida. . where pretty much I'm use to being. I try to convince her that I will be all right & that this is the best for me. When it comes down to speaking with her about this topic I begin to lose my track of thought & I don't know what else to say to her so I just put it off. My mother is the only person that has that ability to make me forget what to say. . I think because I don't want to hurt her also I get very frustrated & we begin to argue. I kind of want a way to change her mind of all this.

    I pretty much told her that I will try to find a job now, save up enough money, move, look for an apartment or efficiency that I can afford, move in together with my best friend of 8 years & start life the best way I can. My problem is now that I can't seem to find a job & get hired. I've been to so many places & applied but no one calls back. Every time I think about it I begin to lose hope for my dreams. I can't say I haven't tried because I have. . very hard. I guess I need to try even harder but I feel like time is running out for me somehow. .

    I feel that I am in a crossroad with no end on either road. I'm still young but I am in age of moving out. I have no job. I have no car & I'm not currently going to college either. I have applied for financial aid all that is left is registering in a college. I don't want to live where I am now because I don't know anyone & I don't go anywhere I have only lived in south Florida for about 3 years & I lived in central Florida for 6. I can't complain much because that doesn't mean that it's the end of the world but like I said I'm still young & I feel like I need to be where I really want.

    I'm just trying my best at this & I feel like no one is supporting me. I need advice on what to do. I don't nobody to feel bad for me or anything just at least help me with some wise advice. Thank you :)

    I assume you are of legal age.

    Unless/until you can afford to support yourself and live independently I think you have to listen to your mother.

    Only you know if you are in a position to move and make it on your own.
