computer help: Hi I’m a girl & my parents don’t support me.My - Help.com

OK . . . here’s what I think. I’m a former college professor, if that means anything.

You say you want to “study abroad.” But you didn’t say anything about any goals you had. You want to study abroad–for what? What do you want to do with your life? Or do you just want to “study abroad” like your friends as if it were some kind of vacation?

Here’s a sad fact about life: not everybody’s parents are rich. Maybe your friends’ parents are rich. If your parents are not rich, it’s highly unlikely they could afford for you to “study abroad,” especially since you don’t seem to have any defined goals.

You’re 23 and you still don’t know the difference beween “lose” and “loose.” That tells me you haven’t been a very serious student up until now. But you still want to “study abroad,” because your friends are doing it. And that seems to be the only reason you have given.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said that traveling was a fool’s paradise. I think that may apply to you.

Instead of making your parents feel like crap because they aren’t rich, why don’t you set some achievable goals for yourself at HOME and see what you can do to advance yourself and prepare for your life ahead?

i feel the same, ive learnt that youve just got to go out there and do it, forget what they think. im 24 too and i feel my parents hover over me, they tell me i cant go to a friends house coz its in a bad area, i went anyway. just do it. theyve got to learn your not a child anymore

My parents are very rich,I want to study on computer science.I didn’t mention any of this…But I have certain goals any others..I have everything fixed just parents are not agreed..that’s all..

I’m thinking that Siren’s right. Maybe they’re just having a hard time letting you go. What are your other goals that they don’t support?

if you dont do this you’ll regret it for the rest of your life. its better to regret what you did than what you didnt

Good luck. :)

Well, Anon, your parents know that bad things can happen to girls when they go far, far away. They probably want to keep you under their wings for as long as they can.

And you do not need to go abroad to study computer science. If you were studying art, France or Italy might be a good place in which to do it. Or if you were studying a foreign language, studying in a country where it is spoken could be very helpful.

But computer science? You can learn that at any decent university. And, since it’s a rather tough subject, the fewer the distractions the better.

Truth be told, your girlfriends want to “study abroad” to meet boys. And they probably think they can do whatever they feel like doing because they will be far away from their parents.

But if you really want to “study abroad,” why don’t you do this: get enrolled at a good university in your own area, and then arrange to study abroad for a summer. If you handle yourself well, your parents may be willing to finance a longer time in another country!

I’m very much willing to read in Arts,space science,Computer science,chemistry sometimes,Architecture ….But my dad wills me to read in medical science…& they are not agreeing…Is it my stupid bad luck or should I hold my heart?
