<p>If you truly know that your parents are going to do something abusive to you (and even that isn’t 100%, you realize), but if you feel this is not something you can deal with now, you should be looking for some ways to become independent. When you graduate, you need a job and place to live away from your parents. You will be an adult or soon to be one. There is no pressing reason for you to go to college right away. A lot of people do not. You can work at getting yourself on firm footing and as time goes on, look into taking advancement courses, maybe college course, maybe somthing technical. But right now college does not look like something that is a priority. </p>
<p>You see, the way the system is set up here, it is your parents; perogative to pay for college. It’s one of the choices they have. Just like they can pay to send you to private school or boarding school. Once you are out of highschool and age 18, they do not have to take care of you , food, room, clothes sort of thing anymore either. And they cannot force you to stick around either. You either enter into some mutally agreeable relationship, or you leave and do what you please, but that includes paying for what you need in life. Yes, "going a way to colllege will slove many, many of " your problems, because that means someone, or some organization is GIVING you a boat load of money instead of you having to pay for your life yourself. So, yes, it is a privilege and luxury. But the list of those who are willing to do this starts with your parents. The colleges themselves will pay at time if you are someone particularly desirable. They call it giving scholarships. Other wise you have to come up with the money and if you cannot, they you need to earn it if you don’t have someone who will sponsor you. Those people are parents, and if yours won’t, then you gotta grow up that muct faster and get on your own two feet.</p>
