I went to New York for the summer and loved it, I've always loved New York. But when I came home to the country I hated it. I gained weight and college was just so weird to me. How am I supposed to be an adult but the college was still trying to tie me down and make me have the same rules that I had in high school? Anyway, I really love New York but I'm just a young adult without that many funds trying to do right with my life. I do want to complete school and I want to pursue singing (which my mom is against) but I'm just not happy. I don't want to grow up to be a 40 year old that hasn't completed my dream but at the same time I want to make myself and everyone else happy. What should I do? Please don't tell me that I can't please everyone and to not care about anyones opinions but my own because it doesn't help. My family is a big part in my life and in all the decisions I make

In my past experiences, i've learned that you have to make yourself happy no matter what. If your mom or anyone else is trying to bring you down, and tell you the path to take , then at the end , what have you learned. Nothing. You've learned that because you made everyone else happy , but you, you will have regrets. Life is about taking chances, exploring the unknown. So do it. Move to New york, find a job, get roomates if you need to, and live the life you've always wanted. Dont let anyone else choose the life they want for you. So you choose the life YOU want for YOU. and if you put yourself out there, you're going to meet so many interesting people, and have fun. But you cant be scared, you have to just do it.

You have to figure out what do u want first. You can't always make other people happy or less you are going to put their happiness over yours.When you learn how to be happy, then you will learn how to make others in your family happy too. And any family member that love you would want you to be happy if they truly care for you. Its a part of growing up. There are always going to be people who are going to try and tell you what to do and what not to do, but you have to be you own person and make your own decisions. so my advice is pray about it and do what you think is best fo you. You be bless.

You can complete school and persue your singing career in that context... they have lots of performing arts classes and workshops.
You may have to get a job while getting through school... you need to bank some savings to get around on while talking to talent agencies.
The only person that can make you happy is you. You cannot live your life for anyone else.
You can choose to persue your plans and dreams and keep quiet about it while you are stuck living with your parents.
Even Madonna got some college in.
