all i want to do is go off to college and just relax before i settle down. I know what's the real deal in life but i've been trapped in my house for 20 years my parents are way 2 protective of me and i want to become a nurse, which isnt easy. My parents are sayin its a big mistake but to me i just want to enjoy my life. I'm going to be living with a firend and then get a dorm room but they think its a bad idea for me live with a firend when my unlce doesnt want me living with him because "i dont listen." i'm a good girl who is focused on becoming a nurse, but my parents put me down and they are not being supportive. I'm forced to stay somewhere im very uncomfortable and driving myself crazy. I dont think i will survive in that world.

If they are footing the bill then I would ask to stay in the dorms, being a nurse I know that you are going to be very busy and there are days you are going to want to quit but don't let the instructors break you: its called separating the weak nurses from the good nurses. You are going to need a lot of private time to study, the last thing you will be doing is relaxing or having fun. I think you are old enough to live on your own but not if you are still taking their money the best bet is to get into that dorm.

As a parent I have to ask, "who is paying for the dorm room and all expenses incurred from you feeling free"? Cause it could be a "money matter" as to being away and living in a dorm. Look , as soon as you become a nurse you can go anywhere in the world and get a good paying job! So what is the hurry?

You are at an age where you have to start making some decisions. Your parents, as good as they may be, cannot make decisions for you the rest of your life.
If I were you I would have an adult conversation with them, maybe write them a long letter if your uncomfortable about bringing it up (to break the ice) and explain that they have raised you well and prepared you for life as they should and now it is time for you to branch out and put their years of effort to work. Assure them that you know they want what is best for you and you understand it will not be easy for them, but you have good intentions and feel it is best.
At this point your parents can't stop you, but I am sure you would like it to be with their blessings...
Life is about a whole lot of difficult choices. Best of luck to you!

Don't allow your parents to hold you back. Go to college or you will regret later on. Going off to college doesn't mean you are abandoning them. Be your own person, don't get stuck with them if you are not happy being with them.
