How can i convince my parents to let me choose the college for me?
Question by preetip89: How can i convince my parents to let me choose the college for me?
I’m a straight A student and I’m 18 years old. I’ve always gotten good grades and I’ve never done anything bad in my life. I’ve always listened to my parents and never stepped out of bounds. Now I’m a senior and its time fo rme to decide when I am going to college. I”m lucky enough to have gotten into every college i applied to, which includes my 1st choice OSU. My problem is that my parents won’t let me choose where i’m going to. To make them happy i applied to UofO which is just 20 mins away from where i currently live. I don’t want to and never have wanted to go to UofO. My parents are forcing me to choose UofO so i could live at home. I don’t want to live at home while i’m in college either. I would like to life a little and have some fun. They are paying for my college by the way even though i’ve gotten some schlorships. How do i convince them to let me choose where i go to college?

Your 18 go to the college you want………….Oh wait YOUR NOT PAYING FOR IT ! You should be grateful they are paying for any of it and probably allowing you to live in their house rent free. Not to mention footing the bill for transportation and food. You should be thanking them for not driving you to a bus station on your 18th birthday you ungrateful brat.

U should prove to them that ur choice is right… find all the info’s abt the quality of the college. try to speak up and discuss with ur parents in a good manner. convince them that u are able to take care of yourself even when u are not staying at home… convince them that one day when u graduated, you will need to go somewhere further to work maybe and this is the time, in college to train to be self-independent and take care of yourself. ;tell them nicely and explain to them. U gt scholarship and not everyone can get it right? it shows hw good u are. of course ur parents gives everthing best to u, you can’t deny that. try to talk nicely to them. if until the end they insist with a big no, then no choice.. no matter how, their arrangement is good for your own good.
