Im an only child, 16 almost 17 and this is the age where you start to get into driving and getting a car and all that. Almost my entire life my parents have been excited about me getting to that point where i could drive. I did, i got my drivings license, but, now they will not get me a car. Im not saying this in an entitled way. I honestly don’t care about materialistic things. Its just that almost all my life they have been giving me expectations that i will receive a car. For example they would ask me what kind of cars i like etc. To give a little more background the main issue here is im homeschooled. I used to go to normal school but I switched when i got to high school. Now my mom and my dad feel like i do nothing with my dad just because i study from home. It makes me feel worthless because they constantly tell me that i do nothing with my life and them also telling me now all of the sudden that why will not get me a car is kind of reassuring me that this is true. That im useless and that i do nothing with my life. As i said im not materialistic but they where getting my hopes up almost all my life and now they switched. They told me that if i don’t study in college by next year (i finish school early because of home school) that they will not get me a car because theres no point to it. Its more than just a car problem now. Now i have to hurry up and decide what to study, what university to go to, etc. My mom especially takes this so lightly, she says the comments about not buying me a car almost laughing. So lightly that they talk about buying a car for them in front of me like its no big deal. ( they have to cars already, they would be buying a new one to replace one of the cars they already have) All my life they’ve never been really strict parents and now they’ve decided to start discipline, I understand that its never late to learn anything in life but im older now and have my own thoughts. It hurts to see them do that because its kind of like they don’t believe in me.

The most difficult day of my life and what I learned from it
The most difficult day of my life was almost two years ago. It was the day I was closest to taking my own life. It started like any other morning that I had...
Talk to your parents, tell them how you feel. If it doesnt help the situation at least you know that you tried. And then from there, you move forward. I'm 35 and my life is a disaster so I definitely dont have all the answers but there are a lot of things I would have done differently of I could go back in time. Dont know your situation but college if your parents will pay for it is a great thing and you dont have to know what you want to do. If not college via your parents or scholarships then you could go to a trade school, lpn program etc. Or you could join the military. I often recommend that to many young people who dont have a way to afford school. Good luck.
