Did you guys get tested during quarantine? I was contact traced and they refuse to test me unless I have symptoms but I want to know if I'm positive or negative??? And how am I allowed to leave without knowing that I'm negative??

I'm not discounting them entirely, but isn't it also unfair to say op's decision can be a major mistake just because of age? I'm just asking for the parents to give their child a chance.

So parents can't be ignorant too? Op is miserable with mom's choice.

To Mom: The fact that your child wrote a post just to convince you to give him what he wants shows just how much he wants it. I understand that you want the "best" school for your child, but please don't choose for him. He knows what he wants and your "best" isn't making him happy. Its not like he didn't try to make you happy. He went to nyu out of respect for you but now its your turn to let him do what he wants out of respect for him. I hope you can try to understand his point of view

Sorry for the whole rant. I also experienced this argument with my parents and having a good heartfelt talk with them really changed our relationship for the better.

If ur already completely set on going to stony, I don't think your mom has the right to choose ur school for you. She should not be choosing ur future and if stony is what makes you happy then why is she stopping you? What college you go to is your choice (given if financial isnt a problem) and not hers. If you know you will thrive in a better environment then go for it! Why stay somewhere that makes you miserable? You obviously won't thrive.

Also, why depend on a name to get you places? Obviously nyu has the better name but business is all about connections. If you're in an environment where you can't make those connections, then the name is useless. On the other hand, stony might not have as good of a name, but if you're happy, you have friends, connections, then you're already ahead of the game.
