will i ever get a life of my own??!!! i dont feel it happening any time soon and it sucks! its not fair. my mom will pay for my brother to go off to college when she knows he's gonna fail because he got kicked out of his other college for fighting (5000 bucks down the drain) and now hes going to another one when I need it more than him! i actually need to get out to college and make something of my life. he doesnt want to do anything with his but smoke so weed! the school i want to go to i cant because its too far away and "im not ready to live on my own yet"! IM 24 YEARS OLD!!!!! i've got it all mapped out. its a 4 year college. i'll qualify for pell grant, i'll live at the dorms, i'll get a part time job! she wont have to worry about me! But NOOO! IVE GOT TO SIT AT HOME AND ROT ON MY FAT BUTT!! ugh! well, i gotta go. thanks all for listening to my ranting. lol.

Your are in a terrible situation! Why do your mom say that you have to stay at home? I think she loves better one of you, but its not clear to me.

I guess there is always a solution, but we dont see it because we get desperate.

Is your school very expensive?

PS. Dont mind that your are 24. Its a hard world. I feel I never will be independent :) But we can do our little tasks till then.

my school will cost about 20,000 dollars. my mom doesnt have that kind of money AT ALL

20 grand? is that normal?

Here in Canada, university costs about 4k a year.

20k sounds crazy. is that with your lodging, food, etc.?

Can't you go to a university in your area?

I'm telling ya, knowledge is knowledge, no matter where you learn it.
