but sometimes i want to get away. but their always no reason to. i mean i get get away but the rules of my family are restrictive cause of how over protective they are.
I need a place to get away. i have a few idea like join the military, or teach English in another "Place" but i'm only 16 not sure what i can do.
not that i want to get away but i feel like their stooping me from growing everyone is one track minded and on the same road know the same thing and everything is same...
Stay the course. Do well in school. You might consider college.
Well you've got a few years more before you have to decide. You have all sorts of options though. You could do college in another town or state, join the peace corps, travel after high school or even join the military. The military option might be a bit long in time you're in if it's not what you want to do.
Don't let the people around you dictate what path you follow. Find your own path when you can. =)
At 16, there's nothing you can do. You're not a legal adult.
You can't join the military. Without a college degree, and generally without TOEFL or a similar certification, you won't be teaching English somewhere else.
Study hard in high school, so you have plenty of options for college, including colleges a decent distance from home. That will be a good start in changing he course of your life.
We have no university in my town, and each of my children left home to attend the course they wanted to do. It is the perfect reason - the right age to test their own wings and be independent, investing in their future so there will be a better job at the end. And of course while they were at college, they were free to return home any weekend they wanted to, it wasn't like they had fallen out with us and felt awkward or negative about keeping in close touch. And there is a great sense of pride in themselves and for their parents on graduation day. Win win all round.
If your parents are protective now, it is because they love you. Not every young person is so lucky. The kindest thing you can do for them in return is to work hard to get good grades, to ensure your university place. They will have pride in knowing they have given you every chance to become the wonderful person you are going to be. They will know they have been good, successful parents. You are 16 now. You won't have long to wait.
Figure out the difference between there and their--that should help you with your aspiration to (perhaps) teach english elsewhere. Get a proper education and learn how to tie together clauses, as well as use basic english, before longing for far-fetched realities.
Finish HS, turn 18, then decide what and where you will lead your life.
