no i didnt graduate. i was pulled after my family rep assaulted another student. and as for the job. i have no transportation and i live like fifteen miles out of town. im trying to get my license right now. but its hard. also my parents homeschool me. im NEVER allowed out of the house without them. unless its to some religious conference crap. my parents thnk the apocolypse is coming there radical catholics. they are also healthnuts. all in all my parents never do anything small. they do everything big.
Wow.
Honestly, I take back what I said, reasoning with them will not work. I'm honestly not the best person to be asking advice about dealing with religious parents, I am VERY anti-religious. People like your parents are exactly why I feel the way I do. I truly feel for you in your situation, it must be a struggle everyday. I can't imagine being trapped in that environment and not going crazy.
I think all you can do is just go along with it... slowly eek some responsibility out of them... You need to get a license! Maybe they might let you go to a private school, talk to them about a college prep school maybe even catholic school. Although they may just discourage you from even going to college on account that the rapture is supposedly upon us, but its worth a try.
Then of course the object should be getting a job and saving money so that you can move out when your 18. Depending on where you decide to live you need to save enough for about months rent and deposit, your first few utility bills and about $1000 for groceries and supplies. But that's just to start out you need to be sure you will have stable income BEFORE you contract an apartment or even rent a room in a house, don't leave it up to finding a job in this economy.
Best of luck hun...
