I'm 20 years old but I feel like I'm 14. My parents want me to grow up and spread my wings, but they still treat me like a little kid who can't do anything by herself. They want me to take challenges and risks, yet they get mad when I take challenges they don't approve of. I am afraid that when I graduate college I will end up staying at home, afraid of the big bad world and remaining safe wrapped up in the apron strings. I can't move out at the moment because I simply don't have the money to do so and because I would not have much support. I feel like running away from home or doing something wild just to show them I am no longer the timid little child they have raised me to be. I understand that my parents do love me, but I don't think they are doing a good job of showing it by holding me back. Help please...
