Relax.

Long distance relationships don’t work. Either find a way to be with him on your own or accept that this doesn’t make any sense. You’re clinging to him even more because you’re facing a big change in your life (college). If you go to college together, then maybe you’ll stick together. Maybe not. Life changes a lot at that age.

i know if i could drive it would work but my dad wont let me get my license because it’ll increase the insurance. i’ve done all the classes and everything but have yet to get my license.

yes! i am a good student. my dad never says so though. I graduated with a 4.15 and was in the national honor society, with honors and received the presidential award. He is just proud of my younger sister.

You’ll have to forget about getting what you want from your parents and search for a way to do it on your own. You’ll feel more confident and it will prepare you for a more independent and satisfying life.

idk how i can do it on my own w/o a car or a license i could get my friends to drive me but idk how that’ll work. My dad thinks that my boyfriend’s mom is trying manipulate everyone so she gets what she wants, now tell me does that make any sense?

The point is this: what do you want? What can you do to make it happen? Who will help you and who can you not depend on?

Keep your eyes open. Listen to what people say but filter it through what you understand about their own needs, worries, experiences. Only you can make your decisions.
