Once you turn 18, and can pay for college yourself, you have the power. There is nothing they can do to stop you. That’s it. GO for your dreams and maybe your parents will miss you when you are gone, maybe not. That will be something they will use if you go to a school they “disaprove” of. Not welcoming you home. Not that for you that would necessarily be a bad thing. So again, if money to go to school is in your control, then go for it!! An adult can make an adult decision. Your parents will have to learn to live with that. Just don’t argue. Stop the arguing. Let whatever they say wash over you. You know you cannot change their minds. Why try anymore? Its like talking to a wall I guess. Just be the best person you can be, put that frustration and energy into getting the best grades, best test scores, best recs you can, so you have those choices you really want.
