How can I get them to let me go to college abroad?

I’m 15 and I have already chosen a college to go to. It is in Ireland and my parents yell at me everyday saying that I can’t go. What should I do?

Hi sassy007,

A lot of things can change between when you’re 15 and 18. When I was 15, I wanted to go to Harvard- I even toured it with my father. By the time I hit 18, I was ready to stick a little closer to home, and ended up going to the best university in my state.

All I’m saying is, don’t push the issue too much with your parents. If you really want to go, show them that you are willing to work hard to get in. Focus on school and on getting good grades. Maybe if they see you still desiring that in three years, they’ll be more apt to let you go.

Good luck.
