I would try to stay with one of them to get ahead with my education if it is possible. You could also work full or part time if you can manage it and possibly find a compatible roommate.

I got engaged my senior year, and that lead to me moving out. I went to school in the day worked an evening job and everything got taken care of. Yes it was hard. Don't think for a second it won't be. If your parents are changing their life without regards to you, make your life for yourself! Don't quit school, because I moved out I never went to college. Now, three years later I am married and a mother, but I long for the day I can go back to school. I know it will be even harder this time around but I have lived these few years making ends meet.... don't give up.

bite the bullet and pick one to live with. discuss with them your needs to need their support so that you can finish school and become a productive adult.
On the other hand, many people successfully work and go to school. Find a roommate or two.
Don't drop out of school. Don't let you parents divorce ruin YOUR life too...

What should you do? You should adjust your attitude. Negative thinking and feelings bring more negativity. Don't think that your life is gonna fail just because your parents marriage failed. You life is about you and only you. Find a way or make a way to win at your game of life...and have some fun along the way.

In your position I would be upset and then realize that your parents are doing what is right for them and it really has nothing to do with you. You are old enough to make your own decisions but I would hope you would be smart enough to know that dropping out of school will solve nothing.

It would be way to hard and way to exspensive to live on your own, i'd try living with both, leave most of your stuff at one parents house and bring some of your stuff to the others..half it...and tell them how your feeling, tell them you can't pick and stay with one for a week and the other for a week and alternate, that would be what i'd do if i couldn't choose

stay with one of the parents. stay in school. keep your job. save as much money as possible. you have the rest of your life to pay rent and work your butt off.

Why do you have to do anything? This is your folks relationship, it doesn't involve you at all. Keep going to school, and when you come home, switch off staying at one place or the other.

don't quit school, get a roomate to share expenses. make sure it is someone responsible and trustworthy. it is possible to work and go to school but it's not easy. you have to ask yourself how important is your education.
