Me and Parents Fighting Over College!

I think you need to reconsider everything you’ve written in this thread. You’re still in the very early, conceptual stage of the college application process. Instead of calling your parents idiotic, and saying they’re “taking the whole parent thing too far,” consider what’s coming up. This time next year, you will know why they’re doing this. This entire process is the most serious thing (barring tragedy) a student can face at that point in his or her life. It won’t mean much to you right now, but next spring, I want you to consider how you would have felt if they had been uncooperative in a different way-- if they had no part in it. Take it from me, you don’t want your wish to come true.
