No support in life????

im 18 and have big dreams. i just started college and plan of being a stockbroker. i want to do alot of other things too. however sometimes i feel i have NO support in my life. i feel not even my parents care or believe. in fact they dont even know some things just cause i dont want them to think im stupid or something. i dont know what to do cause i only have myself in this world. i feel sometimes i cant please them even though i work all the time and am focused on school and never get in trouble. please help!!!!! should i tell my parents this?? p.s. ive even thought about moving out ( i live at home) and getting my own apartment, but i dont know what to do.

You don't know what to do about what? If you want to be a stockbroker, then study hard in college and get good grades. What's the problem?

fight for ur dreams and dont let anyone stop u.

P.S. i believe in you ;D

Do what you feel is right

your parents do love you and would want to know exactly how you feel. You seem to be a normal 18 year old student trying to find their way. If you feel anything stronger than just being unhappy, maybe you should consult a therapist because what you may be feeling is depression and the therapist would be able to advise you on how to handle your situation. If that is the case, then I suggest that you live at home until you can feel better about your situation.

i personall suggest moving out but alos telling ur parents how u feel. if u think its just a deppresion thing talk to ur doctor, but moving out and getting ur own place will help u to feel more independent. good luck!!

I think you should move out, thats a good idea. Do you have any freinds that you can talk to about this? Try talking to them. And if you feel that you can tell your parents than do it. But if you really feel bad about yourself to the point where you don't want to live, than I think you should see a counselor. You are 18 so you can go there on your own without your parents knowing and you can talk to someone. But I hope you feel better about yourself. And God is always on your side and he is always there to support you. So Good luck.

Parents are funny when it comes to things like that - Im sure they are extremely proud of you and trust me when I tell you that girls at your age - accomplishing what you already have - come a dime a dozen... Your lucky to have such a good head on your shoulders. Maybe they know your strengths and just dont mention it since you give them nothing to worry about, and they know your okay....on the other hand, they may feel as though you dont need them..... look at it that way.... Dont feel alone though, they'll be there for you in times of trouble - just be glad your not in any now.

I would talk to your parents. They may not seem to care because you are not telling them enough for them to know what you are doing with your life. Keep in mind though, just because they are not entirely focused on you doesn't mean they don't support you. Noone cares about your life more than you do and you shouldn't expect them too. Just be careful that your expectations are realistic and you will actually see the support around you.

Ok, first I am a 19 year old boy, and I have not started college, yet, my parents will be sending me next year when i am a 20 year old boy. Here is my advice....
I totally understand how you feel. Maybe try talking to your parents and explain to them how you feel and you want them to be there to support you, like when you were in H.S. and before, etc. Also, maybe relax and ponder careers in stock broking, etc and see what you really want to do, and maybe take a year off before starting college, after all I took 2 yrs. to help me think of what I want to do. I want to become a businessman. Also, I would not recommend moving out of your parents house until you finish college, you are still so young and your parents can be there more for you if you are still at their house. Good luck.

i had some big dream also. i think i should had talk to them about my life and how to live it. I want to move out to the new job that i was offered. No........why...........really i cant says why because,I think, my dad had too much say so over me. i dont think my mom minds it too much...I want to go to washington d c to collage but my momtold me no........
is it because my dad have not money?

鈥淏e yourself, don't take anyone's sh**, and never let them take you alive.鈥?-- gerard way

Follow your dreams. No matter what. Your life is for you. Even if people don't support you, it is YOUR life. You can do anything with your life. Grab life by the balls and show them all that they're wrong. You can tell them "This is my life, I made it and nobody can take it away from me. You can prove to them that they should have believed in you and that you can do things with your life. Work hard and do what you want. Move out if you want. maybe theyll see that you are serious about this.

I would NOT recommend moving out. You already feel a lack of support and you are just starting college. If your parents welcome you at home, then do not move out at this time. That would only open a whole new can of worms, such as bills and being even more alone in an apartment. If you aren't currently paying rent, you might offer to start. It would be less expensive than an apartment. Or you might offer to help out with household chores to "earn your keep." Definitely don't move out until you are comfortable with your work/school routine; however, set up a savings account to fund your future moving expenses.

Try talking to a counselor at your college. Often, you can set up an appointment to speak with a college counselor at no cost if you are a student at the school.

Try making a "date" with your mother or your father individually. Ask one of them to go to dinner or a movie with you one week, and then spend time with the other the next week.

What are your parents interested in? Maybe they have an interest that you share and you could spend time together. As you work to develop these bonds on a foundation of common interests, you will naturally begin to learn more about your parents as individual people and they will also learn about you as an individual.

Now that you are an adult, you can relate to your parents on a completely different level than when they were raising you as a child. You will be able to develop a strong and supportive friendship with them.

Don't give up! think about some other people that didn't get any support. For one, Oprah. she had a awful childhood and was dirt poor, and now she is one of the richest women in the world.Also read about Walt Disney,his family and friends thought he was out of his mind and should be put away when he wanted to open an amusement park based on a MOUSE! think about Donald Trump,he filed bankruptcy three times before he finally made it. there are a lot more, but the point is don't think you are stupid just because your parents or friends don't believe in your dreams,nobody is calling Oprah or Elvis or Walt Disney or Obamah or Trump stupid.The only thing that would be stupid would be to not try.

The only person you can really count on is yourself. Don't let anybody drag you down. Advice...stay with your parents as long as they will let you while in school. Consider yourself lucky. My parents kicked me out at 16. I was always a staight A student but they did not have the money to support me. My guidance counseler told me college was a waste of time so I did not go. I am going to college now at 25 years old cuz now I know better and my dad died when I was 19. Sounds like your parents care about you. They probabaly just have alot of thier own problems that you don't know about.

my parents did their share of making me feel dumb and inadequate...but that only really pissed me off and made me accomplish more.
i moved out when i was 17, paid for college on my own by working a full time job, going to school full time as well...

and infact still paying off the student loans

but i'm better than ever. and quite frankly my parents are surprised.

and oh boy oh i love surprises.

think positive. wake up everyday and tell yourself that you will be a stockbroker.

it can happen.

and when you finish school, email me and i'll get you a job in nyc.

You may feel all alone, but you probably are not actually. Your plans for the future do not sound far fetched, at least the ones you described. What any of these other dreams are, well, only you know when to spill the beans on those. Grow up and start relating to your parents as a young adult and voice some of your hopes and dreams in conversation, at least the realistic ones. They'll probably be relieved that you might not end up living in the house forever. :-) And you'll perhaps free yourself from some anxiety over unvoiced opinions. Good luck and work very very hard.

Hey there, i also feel no support, i don't have anyone close to me in my life now, and i feel okay, but it's the best time in my life now compared to before. It's just been a series of depression and mental issues. it's better not to have people in your life who is not supportive. follow your heart, go after your dreams.
