Please help, i need family advice!!?

I live in an incredibly overprotective home and it's driving me crazy. I am TWENTY years old and my parents treat me like i am four. They tell me what i can do with every aspect of my life, they don't think i should have any other life besides studying for school, they judge everything. They don't let me grow up and claim i am irresponsible. It's horrible. My mom will go through my phone, check my phone bill, everything.





The worst part is i can't do anything about it. I'm a college student so i'm broke and i need money to pay for things, especially school. It's so bad, i just feel trapped and sometimes i even think about suicide or just running away, just to get away.





Talking to them does NOTHING. I try and try and try and they just laugh at me or yell in my face. I really don't know what to do anymore.Please help, i need family advice!!?
To start, get a part-time job at your college. I know the economy is bad, but you can find part-time work. Then, use the money to pay for your on phone. Use ';pay as you go';.





If you can find full-time work, then get a roommate and find an apartment.





Just make some money, it will be worth it. You'll have to work and stay up late to finish your homework, but you'll have it your way. You'll have your freedom, and they won't be able to tell you anything.





You may have to get student loans. Just do what you can to move out! It's the only answer. Ask all your friends, they'll all tell you to move out.Please help, i need family advice!!?
you need to sit down with them and have a talk with them. BUT, tell them there will be absolutely no interruptions while you are talking. Besides, interrupting is considered rude. But don't come off mean to them. You need to let them know that you are an adult and that if you had the money, you could be capable of living on your own.





If that doesn't work go to a family counselor with them.
Only two things is going to help you and suicide is not either of them. First you need to get a job, second you need to move out on your own and take charge of your life and love your parents but let them know that this is your time and you need to use it wisely.
You should talk to your school adviser and see what your options are. You could live in a dorm and get a job after school. You are 20 yrs old and a legal adult.t You are old enough to make your own choices your parents cannot control you anymore.
you are old enough to apply for a grant and live in the dorms of the college or you should find a friend to stay with and also you can work at the colleges to

The only thing you can do is move out and support yourself. I can understand you wanting to be treated as a grown up but until you rely only on yourself you are still a child in their home. I moved out at 18 and put myself through college and worked full time and graduated with honors so it is do able i mean i didn't have a blackberry or a brand new car and i ate ALOT of ramen noodles :) but i had a roof over my head and transportation. I just had to work harder than most of the other kids. You cant appreciate your parents position until you get out on your own, but my advice to you is stay there and be grateful you are able to focus on school without having to worry about a job or bills, or move out. Definately move out if it is so bad you want to commit suicide though. As hard as it is to be on your own it is living and the hardest times of my life..like when i studied for finals by candle light because i couldn't pay my electric....are the ones i look back on most fondly :) Good Luck! One more thing you will appreciate college more if you pay for it!!
its situations like these that there are never any good answers. when this comes up, my best advice is to move out, and into a friends house.


another way is maybe contacting an attorney, and you could ';sue for damages done'; like invasion of privacy


again, i wish i could help more, but your parents aren't the kind of ppl you can change. they are ignorant, lifeless and cruel.





Doesn't you college have dorms? like, free housing? look into that too.


you can visit them on weekends and pretend you actually like them, and have the money you need for school supplies.





you have no reason for suicide, their is always an answer. as for running away, you could bunk with a friend, borrow their money, and pay back after college.


i often find that their is an ';ugly (or in this case not) duckling'; in the family, someone who could support you.


a grandparent? uncle or aunt? an older sibling who could talk to your parents? maybe even an old teacher


anyone you connect with.





their is no easy way out here. i can just wish you luck
What you need to do is try to move out and live with someone who can understand the situation at home. Be independent as much as you can. It may be hard due to the fact you are depending on your parents money to pay for college. This is probably why they are treating you like a child because they know you have no other means so you are depending on them. Speak to your guidance counselor at school and explain what is going on and you need to leave home. Suicide is definitely not the answer. You have to get some kind of job and move out and be more self sufficient and I know it's probably not going to be that easy but you have to start somewhere. Speak to your friends or other family members only if they are not like your parents to see if you can stay with them. I wish you the best of luck.
