How do I break it to my parents that I don’t want to go to college?

First of all, take a deep breath and relax…alot of kids feel like you. Your parents are over eager and I think you need to give it at least one semester…you dont know what will happen, you might like it, you might find the independence great. As for staying with and visiting their friends…that is an easy out…you are STUDYING, you have no time, between new friends, classes and social time you are not realistically going to go see your parents friends…but you should at least give it a chance. It can be scary and weird at first but I think you owe it to yourself and your parents to at least give it a shot. If after the first semester you hate it (this happened to my Godson who went from oregon to california and hated it) you can always just say, I am miserable and I want to transfer…or if you dont want to go to college at all you need a major back up plan…you need to have a vocation. All the people I know who didnt go dont have the best of jobs of careers they wanted.

good luck

Maybe go half way…promise a semester and if you’re still not ready then drop out and do what you want OR don’t go and do what you want. To persuade your parents, don’t make your choice nothing or sitting around doing nothing. Work, travel, volunteer, etc. However, as a graduate student and teacher (working on my second masters and starting solo teaching this Fall), I love school and what it has to offer…just be real and go for what interests you and at your own pace…whatever you decide, be true to your own self! Cheers!

at the start you may choose to get a job. in case you may desire to stand to stay at living house for a together as longer, you may desire to maintain up your funds so which you will desire to get an house and be waiting to pay lease and expenses. you may lose the money that your mom pays for faculty and different issues so attempt to be arranged. i could get a job and stay at living house for a together as so which you will shop up and function a effective communicate at the same time with your mom. tell her which you extremely need to go out on your guy or woman and discover out a thank you to start looking after your self and ask her if she could nonetheless help you at the same time with your college funds.

do you have other alternatives to going to college? i think your parentsprobably just want you to be able to get a good job/career with a college degree.

just tell them. then discuss with them. perhaps you can promise to try it out for a year before re-considering again! compromise always works =)

What else are you planning on doing? If you don’t have another plan for your future then they would be devastated. You should at least have another goal that you want to pursue.

listen bro thats just fear of the unknown setting in you have a chance to go to college then go now before its to late get away from your parents and have a good time while your young and remember F.E.A.R. is FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL GO HAVE FUN IF NOTHING ELSE

Hi There you can ask God to help you out . To tell your mom and dad that you do not want to go to college. Good luck on it.

Be brave. God loves you so much. God bless you.

Just tell them you’ve decided you want to be ignorant and unemployed. Explain that you can flip burgers or pull weeds as well any illegal immigrant and you are perfectly fine with that no matter what the President says. Also remind them we have a perfectly mediocre health care system for the working poor so it will not matter that you can not afford health insurance. Tell them if Hillary or Obama get in the White House there will be all kinds of new social programs to support you so getting a good job is really overrated.
