idk what you mean, 2.8 is like b's with a c added into the mix, which is what i have :P

also, i get insane test scores, my history SOL (state test) was 575/600 and my algebra was 490/600 so i mean i'm not stupid D:

Walk to a bus stop

I'm sure you can get into some state college at least, unless you live in California, cc tbh gets you a better shot at Top colleges such as Berkeley unless you go full retard mode and not attend class. 2.8 is pretty rough in h.s. school standards, but then again not everyone matures the same and develops the intellectual curiosity that keeps people motivated in college

hang in there steven

In my district, you're guaranteed to get into local colleges so long as you meet the A-G requirements. But I'm not sure if he took classes that actually are relevant to whatever standards his state/district has.

You should get a job though. Learn some mediocre skills like Office Suite or something, have bare minimum skills and say you're willing to learn at interviews. Honestly if your parents are that strict then things aren't getting better anytime soon unless you're willing to risk "rebelling" against them and risk the consequences (normal for teenagers anyways).

and if all else fails... turn 18 and ignore

Take up a healthy hobby that gets you away from video juegos. for example i started doing board games with my friends a lot. Specifically warhammer 40k tabletop, assemble your own figures, paint them, make the terrain. Hopefully you overcome this, it honestly really sucks. I can say i havent had to deal with this mainly because i paid for my own computer with the money i earned from working a summer job.

Turn it around on them. Do whatever you can do and take on as much responsibility you can handle, and shove it right in their face.

It'll help you when they're not around, too.

Then start getting your gpa to match, buddy ;)

Making fun of your children is one of the worst things you can do as parent
I mean seriously wtf

Join the military. You can join at 17 with a waiver from your parents. You'll get some job skills, and money for college. Do the minimum requirement if you want. You'll have a basic training, which won't last too long, then vocational school. Then you are an adult. Join the air force, they spend more per person than other branches.

Sometimes it's best to sit down with them and have a discussion about it. I had a friend in a similar problem at that age and he asked one question that made them really think. That was simply:

"What were you doing at my age"?

His parents said how at 18 they had moved out, they had adventures driving and camping in mainland Europe. He turned around and said, "and I'm not even allowed out with my friends after 11...". That kind of hit them a little bit.

Anyway, I think you have to demonstrate to your parents that you are mature. Have adult discussions with them and if you find yourself being treated like a child, throw lines at them like, "Well tell me, how am I supposed to develop into an adult if I have no freedom to do so"?

Regardless, you still have to respect your parents, but that doesn't mean you can't attempt to demonstrate that that you are mature than they think you are.

Don't be upset with your parents. I don't mean to judge you based on your previous posts but it is clear that you aren't as mature as you think. The older you get the more you will understand and appreciate the things your parents do. They don't owe you money for chores, although it's unfair that your sister gets money and you do not. They are only getting about you about being more social because they care. Try and explain to them that you socialize and have friends online. If you are still upset get a job and move. You can use public transportation to get around.

umm, none of my posts on here have been in a serious tone like this one man. But yes i understand they care and i also understand that saying some of this is me just acting entitled but honestly i feel like i work for them for pretty much free, their excuse is that they pay for me to do things like hunt which cost like 200-300 dollars for 1 or 2 months maybe while my sister is getting 120+ a month, i was honestly not trying to say that i NEED money and all this shit, i just need a way to make my parents understand from my perspective as it's hard to be in another person's shoes.

oh also, i live in the middle of the woods lol, my driveway is 1/2 mile long there is no public transportation around here.

grab an ounce, break it down and serve into dimes, the move out fastest way.

i'm not going to distribute illegal substances in order to grant myself freedom to breath sir. <3

there usually isn't much room for bargaining with an idealist - same for idealistic parents. you can feel trapped by them and still become your own person at the same time. if they're totally unwilling to grant you any kind of new responsibility, then they're an anomaly of a duo. if that's the case, you'll just have to ride it out. sorry man. sounds like you're almost through with the experience, which is probably exciting. glhf

I didnt want to start a new thread about a similar topic, but this past year of highschool, ive slacked from my As to Bs and Cs. Next year Im planning on stepping it up, but will this effect me a lot in the future?

Next time they decide to move just stay. Just get a job and live with a friend's family or a group of friends. I mean maybe i'm the exception to the case or whatever, but i did it my junior-senior year of H.S. when i didn't want to move I guess technically they could of forced, me but by time you're 17 i believe(maybe i'm wrong) you can become independent of your parents/guardian legally if you so choose(really a nasty thing to have to do and i'm sure your parents wouldn't really want to force you to that extreme).

And if it isn't a matter of moving, and more so one of independence getting a job can work, i mean you might live in the middle of nowhere and not be able to drive but i'm sure there's someone reasonably close to you, that you could befriend. A buddy of mine during his summers worked in Dawsonville Georgia and the area was(is?) incredibly rural and spread out, he use to carpool with a guy who was his closest neighbor and he lived like 30 mins away. So i'm sure you can dig up some way to get to work, even if it entails paying like 15% of your wages to your ride.

hey saltystevensally, I think I kinda know how you feel. here's a big bloggy post for you to read and empathize with in a big beautiful first world problem circlejerk.

Up until I was 12 I lived on a farm in Michigan about 6 miles away from a very small town. I went to a small private school about 30 minutes away so I never gonna got to really know many people my age that lived by me. Not really a big deal because most of them were inbred hicks anyway, but I spent a lot of time by myself when I was younger, which made me really introverted. I have also gone to a a different high school every year. Spent my first year of HS in hawaii, 2 years in washington at 2 different schools, and I'm going to spend my senior year in Florida. I'm not sure about you, but to me feels kinda pointless to make friends when I know I'm leaving soon anyway.

My parents can also be pretty annoying too. They grounded me from my precious vidya games for 3 months because I didnt turn in a few assignments. A few of them were worksheets that were handed out while I was in Florida for a week so its not even all my fault.

Also, please don't give people shit about their gpa. Yeah if its a 2.1 and theyre failing all of their classes something is really wrong but some some schools are way harder than others. I've gone to many different schools so I am in a pretty good position (like I'm on top of the badlands mid crates as a scout against a soldier) to say that.

my test scores are also pretty good and my grades are also pretty mediocre, they're a lot better this year though. My scores aren't amazing but I've always scored well above average on every standardized test I've taken in the reading/writing sections. I'm only average at math though :( which kinda sucks because I wanna go into computer science. What's kinda funny though is that I had to take an entrance exam to get into a school in florida and I was in the top 10% in the math section out of everyone that had applied. My parents then got mad at me because they think I haven't been trying at all in math. I just got really lucky with my guessing. Maybe I should get a degree in guessing.

my parents also give me shit for choosing to play video games instead of hanging out with people. They're never very mean about it but its still kinda shitty. Its really irritating when they tell me to get off the computer when everybody else is watching tv (they love the big bang theory) or going on facebook.

so yeah, if you wanna call things gay as fucking fuck and complain about shit you can send me a message on steam. I would be happy to talk about things that are gay as fucking fuck with you <3

I was in a pretty similar situation not too long ago, albeit more abusive, bit with a similar feeling of being treated below my age/intelligence.

It's absolutely not your fault that moving around a lot has impacted your pool of friends (or lack thereof), but the way a lot of adults are going to view it is that you're a kid, you've got it a lot better than they do as adults with responsibilities (which includes taking care of you). They probably can't remember their own teenage years with much accuracy, because you probably get the feeling they expect you to have the kind of social life straight out of the movies, right?

As far as they know, you're a kidnerd shitkid who sits in the basement clickity clacking to a bunch of colors on the screen, rejecting human interaction and responsibility. The best thing you could do would be to do things for yourself that exemplify your ability to do things for yourself. Acting like an adult is how you get treated like an adult. Prepare a resume, look for jobs you could take public transit to if that is an option, manage your time so that you aren't always on the computer.

Right now I am up in Canada with my fiance and his family until August. At home, all I do is draw. Up here, I balance my computer time with family time, and I often clean up after my fiance and his family when they are at work or school. I even fall back to my oldest-loved hobby: reading. I try to contribute while also using my time on the computer to do more than entertain myself. Through my art, I try to also be productive. The last thing I want to do is present myself as a complete computer-addicted shut-in to these people. The thing is, I genuinely like these people. I know it's harder when you feel like you and your own family just don't connect. But that's when you have to remember that you are nearly a man grown, and that you aren't really doing these things for anybody but yourself. It directly benefits you and only you to seek employment, volunteer work, a hobby.
