Help please!!! My mother is causing alot of problems with me regarding college, I am a high school senior and have my pick of schools and for the career field that I want to go into I cannot go to college in state. This is what I have wanted to do for my whole life and she knows this…now my mother is refusing to allow me to go away to college, she said she would even rip up my acceptance packets. I have always wanted to go away and my mother hurts me continually by telling others that I will amount to nothing when I have really good grades. If I stay at home I will be forced to go to a community college, which I think is terrible since I have a 4.0, I already got told by the dean of attendance at my dream college that I am as good as excepted. Is it selfish of me wanting to go away?

Get away from your mom!!!!!!! Fill out your packets at the library and mail them on your way home. Save your money and move out. Let her know when you hit 18, you will NOT be controlled and you will be off to the school of your dreams. It sounds like she is jealous and controlling, but don't you dare let her crappy words beat you down - let them roll in one ear and out the other. Part of being an adult is taking control of your life. You have earned going to whatever school you please, so don't throw that away over your mom being stupid and mean. You are NOT selfish - she is the selfish person. Get the hell out of there and move on, PLEASE!!!! Call her once a month if you feel bad and only talk for about 10 minutes. If she has anything bad to say, just say thanks and hang up. Please don't listen to her - very bad advice!!!! I cannot say that enough!!!!!

One word,Ma'am - No. It isn't selfish of you to chase your dreams, and your mother, no offense meant, is being right-royal unreasonable about it. I think you need to set up an appointment with the dean of attendance and your mother to discuss this matter. If she thinks she's still right, she'll definitely agree to come with you. Have a talk about this with the dean and her, and hopefully the dean will convince her that if your career choice leads you to places outside of your hometown, there is nothing to be alarmed about, and that you are a young adult and is capable of living independently.

The word is accepted. I'm doubting the 4.0 GPA.

Not at all, your mother is really screwing up your life, if anything she should be proud of you and want you to succeed. It's not her life, it's yours tell her to bite the big one..and start your own life off.
what college?
