Here's the deal. Well, I don't have any siblings, that's probably why they want me to stay close. Anyway, I've been waiting to get to live on my own my entire life and now they're jeopardizing [sp?] my chances! I want to go to Texas Tech, which is 6 or 7 hours from me. Hey, at least it's in the same state!! My parents, on the other hand, want it to be a 2-3 hour drive so I could come home on the weekends... =( I love my family and all, BUT I need to be ON MY OWN! I'm just TIRED of living in the same city for all my life and I really want to establish my own life! What are your suggestions? How can I show them that IT'S MY LIFE, not theirs!? Parents: How do you cope with your teens leaving to go off to college? Teens: Are you having the same problem? Parents: Did you have the same problem with your parents at that age?

Maybe you should blow the coming home on weekends idea by saying you want to get a small job on campus when you go to college and will probably need to work some weekends. It'd be a great way to have partying money, easy way to keep from having to go home so much, and the jobs are easy and fit around your school schedule.
Hopefully when they realize you wont be home every single weekend, they'll be more open to you going somewhere a little farther away.
6 or 7 hours isnt that far. Just be honest with them about what you want and why texas tech is better for you than the schools they pick. And make sure you say "i'll be happier going to texas tech," when they bring it up, because most of all they want you to be happy.
Good luck! =)
