What would you do?
Question:Right now, my boyfriend and I are in highschool. This year Ill be a junior, he will be a senior. He will be turning 18 this August. We have to deal with his extremely strict parents, so he decided that once he is 18 and able to support himself, he is moving out.
When we are both out of highschool, we plan on going to college. He is interested in the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute, but the closest one is in Pennsylvania (we are from Maryland). I really have no idea what Im interested in, all I know is that I have to go to college, I dont want to be to far from my family, and I want to be with my boyfriend.
We want to move in together when we are in college, but how do you think this can work out? Should we get a cheap apartment? How would we be able to support ourselves before and during college? We are still trying to figure this out. I dont think we will be in the same college.
Answers:
It is very difficult for anyone who is just out of high school to move out and support themself. College does cost money and I think it is wise for him to concentrate more on education than on working. I'm glad to hear that you also want to get a good education and that you want to be close to your family. You don't realize how much you need them until you are far away. I would suggest that you both finish high school first. Then see where life takes you. If you truly love each other today you will still love each other in 15 or more years, no matter how far away from each other you are.
I think you need to finish High school and you boy Friend could try going to motorcycle repair school and see if you still think your relationship is headed in the right ways before you decide next steps after High School.
I think you should think really hard about moving in together because one thing leads to another and if you can't support your self now how would you be able to support a baby I'm saying this from experience my son and his girl friend didn't like it because they said i was too strict. so he decided to move out and he moved in with her she ended up pg and they got married but they are back in the house with us and have a 6 month old baby and are expecting another one in Oct so think very hard before you make a choice that you have to live with the rest of your life and don't think that i don't love my grandson i do but its very hard on us as parents to not over step our boundaries when our grow up children are living in our homes because they would not listen to us in the first place
