I know I’ve probably posted this so many times by now and I’m going crazy about my education. I desperately want to drop out and finally do what I want to do (online education) but there’s only one thing holding me back and making me feel like shit…my parents. Should I just not give a shit what they think and do what I want because at the end of the day, it’s my life and they can’t force me to do anything? I’m so bloody confused and going crazy about all this, I guess because it’s my first time leaving school for good…

I don’t want to encourage you to go against your parents because that can create another problem in itself that will drive you nuts….how would you do it without their consent? like don’t they have to enroll you in online education? and withdraw you from your current school?
Yeah they would have to do all that. But I mean if I stop going to school they have no choice but to accept the fact that I want to be enrolled in an online school.
They have no problem with me doing online education but they want it to do be public, without any payment…but the problem is out of the US, everything is private tuition so what do they expect me to do?
well I don’t know how it works outside the U.S but from my knowledge if you just stopped going you could be detained in juvenile hall for truancy ….I would think that online education has no boundaries but I guess they do…. umm …. can you get a job to help pay for it or something? maybe show them that you are really to help might influence them to pay for it….
Ultimately, you have to do what makes you happy. I have started and stopped my post-secondary education so many times that it has taken me almost a decade to earn a Bachelors degree. It seems like every time I get somewhere something happens to hold me back. Currently I am almost done, but depression has me skipping one of my classes, and I am on the verge of failing it.
Sit down with your parents and say, “Look, this isn’t making me happy, and this isn’t what I want to do. This (online education) is what I want to do, and I could really use your support and understanding right now.”
