Answer 1

You better stay in school and learn how to spell. You could also learn how to write a complete sentence.

Answer 2

Your perspective is so short sighted. My son (17 and graduating from HS in June) and has conflicts with his mother, but it is only because she cares and wants the best for her youngest son. Stay the course as the time will fly by, you will have many more boy friends and life experiences.

This is the reality of growing up! There will always be conflicts and running away solves nothing. You need to expand and learn ways of coping that will benefit you for the rest of your life.

Answer 3

You are only young once! If you want to study abroad don't let what other people say stop you. Follow your heart and your life goals. The best thing I ever did was moving out and putting space between me and my overprotective/old fashioned parents. We actually got along much better. Do what you think will benefit you and your life. and you can't go wrong.
Good luck!

Answer 4

There's nothing wrong with wanting to leave home after you graduate high school. Just make sure you have a job or go on to college or something so you won't have to come back home broke or your mother will never let you hear the end of it.

Answer 5

Sounds like you might need time away from mom to figure out who YOU are. My mom and I fought a lot before I left for college and leaving was the best thing I ever did for our relationship. When we did see each other, our relationship was much better. It's not running away...it's doing what you need to do for yourself and will be better for both of you in the long run. Blessings to you! :)

Answer 6

Once you gain some maturity, knowledge, experience, and independence, you'll better understand your mother.
Going abroad is not a solution. When you're able to pay for that experience yourself, then it may be a good idea.

Answer 7

I would leave when you graduate and when you turn 18. There is no reason to live with someone that is abusive, and you are scared of, no matter who that person is. I'm impressed that you want to go to college, and please don't give up on that!

I wish you the best of luck!

Answer 8

Graduate. Get a job. Get a place to stay. Go to College.
Keep your boyfriend. It's only a few months away.

Answer 9

you are an adult now. Do what you have to do, make a responsible decision and stick with it. Your mother can only make you unhappy if you let her, just because she is immature doesn't mean you should be. Just remember, once you leave there is NO GOING BACK!!. So get your ducks in a row and be the adult you are.

Answer 10

trust me if you leave you're only gonna have more problems. You're gonna have to do everything yourself...and you'll be somewhere where you'll be a complete stranger to everyone and it's really gonna be hard getting use to it....how will you make money? Who will do your laundry? How will you get around places? theres many things to consider before you do that...
