I don't live with my mom, but I live with my step-mom and father. My father will be getting out of the military soon, so we have to move out of military residence. I am not sure about what college I'll be going to yet because we don't know where we're moving. I don't start college until September 2008, and my mother is bugging me day after day after day about what college I want to go to. How do I get her to stop? I've told her repeatedly that I don't know right now. What would you do in this situation? (Rude comments will be ignored.)

I am going through somthing similar, but not as bad as your situation. Right now, the best thing to say to her is "mom, I cannot tell you right now because I do not know," and leave it at that. Look, you're already stressed out over it so just leave it alone and figure it out later.
I am guessing that your mother doesn't trust you or maybe she doesn't see the full picture because she does not live with you. She is doing what normal mothers do; worry about their children constantly.
I know it's annoying, but please try and understand that she is your mother and she will worry about these things. Just reassure her that you will make a choice when the time comes. But, for now, just focus on high school. You've got over a year left.

tell her you're still thinking and that you want to research all your possibilities, and that you don't want to make a snap judgement. Politely tell her that her opinion is important to you, but constantly asking you isn't helping you decide any faster Let her know that she'll be the first to know, just as soon as you do!

it is terrible, and that i'm sorry. My sister replaced into in a matching concern. My mom and dad are divorced and whilst my sister could no longer pay lease for her place of abode she moved in with our father and he made he pay for the groceries and one million/2 of the lease ($six hundred a month!) so she at last moved back in. on your concern in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, i could according to probability attempt to take a seat and communicate alongside with your mom, clarify to her that she could be helping you rather of any incorrect way. clarify which you're able to pay for all your individual expenses and which you're able to desire to assist your self earlier you help her. you're too youthful to be contained in one in all those concern.

Pick a college as far away from your mother as possible. Have her help you check into it. Then, when you decide on one closer, she will be happier.

Just give her a name of a college, then changeup whenever you've figured it out.
