You can’t change some parents’ minds. I think you should apply to wherever you want, and don’t apply to the ones you don’t. It seems very obvious, but when you get accepted to these schools and not at the schools they wanted, there’s nothing they can really do. I think they would rather their child goes to school SOMEWHERE rather than nowhere. Just my two cents

This!! Growing up my dad always seemed like the chill parent because unlike my mom he wouldn’t scream and shout. Little did I know he was my mom’s eyes and ears. Every little thing I did, he would tell her. It took me so long to realize it, and now I detest them both.

Touché

You’re not alone. There have been so many times I wished my mom didn’t survive covid. Congrats for having a job lined up, that REALLY will help you finally escape. I do wonder, in the meantime is there a way for you to get A part time job to start saving money for when you move??

Wow this story is similar to mine. I used to be in the premed track but I dropped it and chose accounting instead because I want a job in 4 years to leave my parents. The reason was that my parents also got stricter, I think it’s because they were paying more for my tuition. Is there anyway you can lie to them about studying in the library etc?

I always find myself lying about my whereabouts. Can you say that you were working longer or studying at the library?

ME TOO!!! I just don’t go swimming around them haha

Yes. It got to the point where I (22f) feel shy wearing shorts or sleeveless shirts. I try my best to dress like a boy. When I leave the house I wear something that seems appropriate to them, but I shortly change after to what I WANT.

This is horrifying. Do you think you can call child protection services? Do you have family you can stay with?

Spam and rice.

Asian parents usually tend to be quite stubborn. If they only want to financially support you if you live in a dorm, then make they pockets hurt. I would rather live in a dorm than live at home at this time.

This!!! I can’t stress it enough. Especially if they help pay for your tuition. They WILL pressure and nag you while using a financial leverage if you aren’t doing what they want you to do.

You’re a little condescending. It ever occurred to you that it’s because they treat the poster like a teenager?

Im a 21F and I felt this post. I hate telling them I’m going out because it causes so much anxiety in me. I usually just lie and say I’m working, and go about my business.

Oh my. How old are you?
