I want to leave high school... I can't wait to graduate sometimes... I want to be able to go to college... my school is shit, and my school is full of either pretentious pricks or idiots that make me sometimes wish I wasn't human so I wouldn'tbe associated with them... I want to be independent, or at least be a little bit more free... for context, I was raised in a Mexican immigrant household in Houston, TX(long live the Empire of Buc-ee's). Earlier today, I got into a heated argument with my parents over the idea of me basically itching, counting the days for me to get out of high school and how they are sometimes scared. Scared that I want to basically leave them for college... going as far as to study states or even countries away. They are worried that I just want to run away from them... For some more context, I am what one would call an "academically gifted" student..., so I want to study at an ultra prestigious university... I want to get into either Princeton, MIT, Rice, Duke, etc,. however due to the God Emperor being rejected and getting batshit insane over wanting to take over Canada, Greenland, the Panama Canal(a decades old fixed dispute), etc,. I've also been considering places like NUS and the Nanyang Technical University in Singapore.
The worst part of all this is that when they tell me that they are worried about me leaving them, they always say that I will accomplish my dream of being able to go to Japan, Taiwan or Singapore, but I will forget them and by the time I return, they will be dead. Every time they say that they think i want to abandon them, I can't help but act annoyed but also hurt.The problem is... yes... I want to be free... but because I have to be... I am an only child, I am the last hope of my family. My family is the best... they raised me with morals and to be responsible and as mature as I can be, or have to be. I want to go to college, but I want to prove to them that their effort on me wasn't in vain. I want them to be proud of me, I want to be able to look at me and say that they did a good job. Not like they don't tell me that every day, but sometimes I don't feel like I'm doing enough. They give me everything I want and more... that's why I need to study... so that I can make my own business and pay them back... I want them to have the large manor and butler and maids I told I would get them when I was a kid. The worst part of all this is that when they tell me that they are worried about me leaving them, they always say that I will accomplish my dream of being able to go to Japan, Taiwan or Singapore, but I will forget them and by the time I return, they will be dead. Maybe I should reconsider my priorities and responsibilities with my parents. What do you guys think? BTW, I recently turned 18 in case yall were wonder how I am on 4chan and still in high school
>highschoolChances are you are not 18. Go to bed kid and do your homework.

>>32609974How is my life gonna be terrible. I don't see any problem at all... all I need is to reevaluate some shit and that's it... right?
>NUS huh?Good luck getting there, kid.
>>32610013You will be worked until your soul yearns for death but it will never be granted to you
>>32610049Ok, so what is your solution then?
>"academically gifted"Yeah, you ain't fooling us, libtard
>>32609958Thanks for the heads up, almost reported the poor guy
>>32609945>I want to be able to go to college...As someone in college it's only slightly better. The biggest downsides? Subjects are actually difficult now and my grades aren't straight As anymore. Another thing which is half positive half negative is that you will basically never ever talk to anyone unless you take initiative. Most treat it like a job, come do thing and go.The best part is, there's less of it and i have a car now(no more public transport).
>>32610243Never thought about it that way, huh
