[quote=Heroic] My life will not be miserable, I can guarantee you that. The only real thing that I dislike about my young life will be done and over with in a couple years. On top of that, I have very big plans for my career, hobby, life in general, and so on. My life will not be ruined because of a couple more years of coping. [/quote] I was referring to the next two years. And let me ask you, what do you intend your relationship with your parents to be after that? Do you truly think that they'll change their beliefs and ideas of how to parent you just because you're a few years older? The only thing that'll change is the conduit, unless you plan to cut off all contact, in which case why wait?
