Do you ever feel like you made the wrong choice like everything around you didn't turn out how you wanted and all you want is to start over cause right now that's me I'm 17 graduating a year early and I got into 3 schools all of which I'm happy with and the one I wanted I even got a scholarship to pay half and that's the one I wanted to go to I could see my self in the city happy with a new start then my parents said no and I mean they have the final say right? I guess so but they picked the one an hour away which is the closest to home but I don't wanna go there I keep trying to be happy about it but I'm not it's gotten to the point I don't even wanna go to school anymore and we already paid the deposit fee I offered to pay it back and go to a different school but no. then I wanted a gap year to rethink about what I really want I mean I still wanna go to school but I'm not allowed if I take a gap year they will kick me out there words and I guess it just makes me said I tried so hard only to be so upset about it in the end.

My Unsent Letter to Shey
Palagi nalang tayong nag-aaway. Pag tinopak ako totopakin ka na din and vice versa. Tapos kapag okey naman tayo, super hyper naman at walang katapusang asaran....

My feelings
My parents are mentally ill. Every month they go through this. Mood changes attitude changes. Periods of sour saltiness sometimes lasting near a week or more de...
I'm a middle aged male here.
I'd like to think that your parents believe they are doing what is best for you but, they could be wrong. In fact, based on the way you feel about the situation, it sounds like they're making a choice that's good for them...not necessarily for you. The problem, though, is that they may not realize this and they are pushing you to walk this path because, maybe, they really do think it's for the best.
About a month ago, I had a most unusual situation in which I had to return to my hometown to visit an old friend. He was going through some stuff and I stayed at his place so we could have drinks and swap war stories. He just needed to vent. I spent the night there and returned to my own town on the following day.
That night, though, another of our old school friends came to visit as well for the same purpose as me. I had not seen this girl since high school and it was good to see her again. In our chats, she revealed that her parents had, essentially, forced her to do something as well and I couldn't believe that, after all these years, she was still dealing with that madness.
Much time has passed and her mother has backed off and trying to be quiet about the situation. It's as if, possibly, she knows that she and her husband made a mistake but she's not ready to admit that and simply apologize. Instead, she's keeping quiet about it and, I suppose, just ignoring it hoping it'll all blow over in time.
The father, however, spoke to the girl (our friend from school) and essentially said he knows they messed up. I wasn't present for the actual conversation so I'm not sure if that was an official apology or if they are planning to help the girl get out of the situation.
It was so strange, though, for me to think on this and realize that she had been living with this for so, so many years. It's crazy and I felt really bad for her.
I hope that you and your parents are able to work through this and it would be my best guess that a great place to start would be to make sure they know how strongly you feel about it all. I'm sure you can justify your reason for choosing one school over the others or, at the very least, the one they've chosen for you.
I don't know that any of us here know enough about this to really make a decision on such a thing but, we can tell it's weighing on your heart and mind.
I hope you have another opportunity to discuss this with your family and I hope they are understanding of your feelings.
Good Luck!
