i hate living with my parents and i’m slowly going insane, and i can’t do anything about it. i can’t live alone because i don’t know how to make money. i actually accepted a project to make some money and slowly become independant, but i cancelled it because i couldn’t deal with the stress of working and studying simultaniously.
i’m really tired. i really tried and tried but i failed every time. i’m currently studying computer engineering in a good university, it’s hard but i like it, and it would have been great if i didn’t have to deal with my parents 24/7. they’re really on my nerve.
i really wished university wasn’t online due to corona quarantine, i loved the campus, i loved being away from home.

Hon, I say these things to you with much love….
Nearly 45 years ago I was in a situation very similar to yours. My parents wouldn’t let me work saying remain young while you can. My parents were extremely strick and I so hated living at home. Because of these things in my life I was rebellious and ended up having a baby at 17 (1979) and got kicked out at 18. I left home with a 1 year old baby and very little else. That baby took his life 2 1/2 years ago, he was 38 years old.
It took me a lifetime of looking back on lifes events to see my parents were right. Perhaps because of the generation gap, words used to explain why we should or shouldn’t do things got lost in translation. Please hear your parents and trust they are trying very hard to protect you from things you perhaps cannot understand just yet. You are fortunate in way of being able to educate yourself while still at home, without all the further worry of having bills to pay, etc. which would only distract from the goal of you eventually being able to support yourself healthily. Makes sense to me that God, The Universe, Creator, or whichever word works to describe the yet unseen in your life, is perhaps explaining to you the same as I am trying, but in way of you having tried and tried and yet failed (= Stress). Signs, signs, everywhere are signs.
your friend,

Trying to juggle both school and work is a lot for anyone and it sucks that staying with your parents isn’t working out for you during school. On a positive note, when you finish with school, you will be able to get a job in that field and will be able to focus on work and get the money you need to be independent.
I hope for you sake and many others in similar situations that they open the doors to the universities again.
