I just had to listen to them tell me how hopeless I am and my dad shoved me, my mom punched me in the leg. I'm 18, barely have any money to buy myself food. I commute to college. Don't want to live on campus, but can't afford to live off campus. Its not right....parents are suppose to tell you they love you and support you..not tell you you're hopeless and call you names.

Darling you really need to find a place of your own or maybe share with a classmate. Parents sometimes can forget that their children are human too. They get so caught up in their own lives that they don't realize how they affect others. Go on your own as soon as possible and leave home with a happy note. Leave that family door open for the future. They'll come around sooner or later. Good Luck

Mmm, this is a tough one. I moved out when I was 18, but I was working full time. Saved up all my money to move out on my own. Got a cheap place with a million dollar view. Rent was cheap. I don't know how you are with funds, if you save up or if you have bonds in the bank...or any other extras your parents put away for you...For now, I would move on campus...or get a bunch of your friends together and rent a place. Stay with family if you have any close by. Explain your situation if you are on good terms with them. I don't know what else to tell you.
Parents aren't supposed to do that, that is verbal, emotional, mental abuse. I never call my kid names. I always hug and kiss my kid. Everyday, I tell him I love him. If your parents cannot show love towards you, start loving yourself, and become a strong woman that you are. You are in School. Good for you. I am proud of you...hang in there ok.
Everything will work out in due time. There is a time and a place for everything.
Maybe there is a list of rentals in your school, on a bulletin board and maybe people need a roommate to share their place.

Oh wow it seems like you and your parents don't have a great relationship. I agree that your parents should not be negative towards especially when it seems like you are trying to do something with your life and going to college. Are you working? If you are maybe you can find a roommate to live with off-campus. You must learn to live on your own. You will struggle in the beginnning but then you will be so proud of yourself that all of that between you and your parents won't even matter. You can rub it in their face afterwards. You should not be taking that abuse from anybody, even your parents.

Well you need a job and get some friends together and move out,I know it sounds hard but its better than dealing with your parents,plus you should tells someone what your parents are doing to you,like maybe a teacher or someone you can trust,I'm sure they'd be will to help you find a way out! Plus you can always get aid from college to live on campus I mean thats been than what your dealing with now. Good luck to you!!

Do you have an aunt or older brother or sister you can stay with>?
Maybe a friend from college? Get a tip job and get your own place even if its a rental trailor in a trailor park. Or a room-look in the papers, u may get free room and board if u move in with an elderly person that just needs a few chores done.

Rent a place near campus get a part time job and see how that goes if it doesn't go well ask a friend for some help.

If you have good friends, stay with them for a while until you can get on your feet. Get a job as soon as possible (but be careful not to over juggle yourself between working and studying), then a year down the road, when you've got your own place, and an education, go back and spit in your parents face.

So you have a few choices to make.
Live on campus and away from the abusers.
Get a better job and rent a room somewhere closer to college.
Stay at home and deal with it awhile longer.
Living on campus is an excellent decision. You can work on campus as well.
And if you are in college, you are far from hopeless. :) I am so sorry you are having to deal with that, and I hope it gets better soon!

Sorry you are going through this. Move if you want to, life will adjust to you.
I am a single mother of three, full time college student, and have two part time jobs. But when my boyfriend of 10 years told me to leave, I only had the one job and college. I did not think we could make it alone, but life adjusted to my situation and it will to yours. We have more without him than we ever had with him.

Looks like you have to choose between campus or being a punching bag. I hope to choose to leave home. Is getting hit and put down worth it?
