Go away to college or not?
well I’ve always wanted to go away to college and dorm and live the college life. my older sister never wanted that so therefore never went to college. im in 11th grade and I really want to go away but the problem is that my parents just got seperated about 4 months ago and I would feel terribley leaving my dad to live in my house all alone. my sister lives here but is soon getting an apartment. my dad said I can go away and he still thinks I want to but I would break my heart to leave him hear alone..any advice on what I should do?
I have to agree with the other two answers. You are only in 11th grade, so by the time you go off to college, the separation won’t be as new and I’m sure your dad will be fine anyways. And if your dad knows you want to go off to college, but you stay behind for him, I’m sure he will feel a lot worse. I mean you are going to have to leave sooner or later, and take it from someone that never got to go off to college (got pregnant and married in high school), going off to college sounds fun. The real life isn’t as fun. Enjoy it while you have a chance. You never know, the idea of having the house to yourself might sound fun to your dad.
You cant babysit your dad forever… And it doesnt seem like he wants you to. Parents always feel the loss of their kids, but they eventually have to learn to make their own lives, which they do. They were individuals before becoming your parents and this will give him a chance to become his own person again. There’s still 2 years left, he’ll have time to figure out his life as a divorced parent, and then his life as a parent without children living at home. Just be sure to call and visit and he will be fine.
Your dad obviously expects you to carry on with your life. He doesn’t want you to hold yourself back because of him, and he certainly doesn’t expect you to stay in the house with him forever.
I think you can make it easier for your dad if you put in a great effort at college, get good grades and make him proud.
Your dad is a big boy - he can take care of himself :-)
Hells yeeeah.
Seriously, though, college is awesome. You grow as a person. You are surrounded by amazing people and endless opportunities for fun and enrichment. Go for it!
I would go just vivit on spring break cristmas and send lots of letters and call him a lot.
I would and wouldnt at the same time.the reason I would like to is because you get smarter and the reason I dont want to is because its too boring but im only in middle school so I dont really know yet.
