I am a student who has just graduated from high school, now I am confused because I want to go to college but my parents do not allow me to go to college. Even though I had already told him all about my goals for studying, working while studying and looking for extra income to cover living expenses while studying. But, my parents just want me to work so they can support him and my younger sibling who is still in high school, My father passed away three years ago. My older brother and my mother have been paying for my schooling. I have big dreams and want to study abroad, But the people around me don't support me, even though I'm willing to work while studying. I just need permission and support before I go to college. Please, can someone give me advice and support?
You have to go to collage don't think about working without going to collage, it's not an option Tell them you gonna work beside the collage and that you have to go to collage for your future and so you can have better job
What you’re going through is normal because you’re torn between your responsibility toward your family and your personal dreams, so try to handle it wisely, not emotionally: prepare a clear and realistic plan for studying (country, costs, scholarships, part-time work) so your parents see you’re serious, reassure them that you won’t abandon them and that your future success will help the family, and offer a compromise like studying locally first or working for a while before going abroad; also choose a calm moment to talk respectfully and, if possible, involve someone they trust to support your case. The key advice: don’t just talk about your plans—start taking small real steps (saving money, researching, applying) because when they see action, not just words, their mindset is more likely to change
