Hello all,

I’m a soon to be senior looking to possibly go out of state for college, but am having trouble getting my parents to even consider it!

Is there any way that I can effectively talk to them about this issue before we all lose our minds? It seems like they are dead set against it, just because I wouldn’t be “under their wings” so to speak, anymore.

I’ve tried to explain my feelings about it, but it seems as though they do not want to listen to my reasoning at all. I do understand where they are coming from, and have listened to their rationale. I was just wondering if any other parents out in CC land have had the same issues before as well…

Thanks!
