Hang in there! I don't mean to sound trite, but if your personal situation allows you to go to college, do it. It will pay off in the end. I stress personal situation. You'll always be able to fix your teeth later - after college you will be able to get a good job with good health insurance. (& that can help fix a lot of things) I'm not sure about your personal situation with your parents - I can't moralize on that. Good luck - it's tough to deal with.
- taurath 11y agoAlso may I say, as someone in a similar situation who chose to quickly get into work - do not only look at the economic benefits, but also the social benefits. You will meet so many people just going through college that are just like you, its a wonderful way to gain friends that will improve your whole life. In college the people you meet will be friends or at least acquaintances for a lot of your life. At work the second you or their leave a company you will likely not speak very much at all. Of course, it depends on the person as well - but know that that friendships and meeting people like you is one of the biggest reasons to go to college and does factor into your decision. There aren't a lot of institutions out there where you'll be able to do that outside of a job. Of course, with student loans being as they are, I'm not quite sure whats worse.
- vcxzxcv 11y agoThanks. I think no matter what I'm going to at least try to further my education. I wasn't aware of the school medical/dental benefits being mentioned in this thread, so I'll keep that in mind when applying too.
