Some advice on father, college and life.?

I am 21 years old, m y parents were divorced, and i my mother raised me. for 2 years i loved on my own and then i had moved with my father to go to college but i just cant get along with him. I am constantly being treated like a child, we butt heads constantly, he puts up ridiculous rules. I feel like i need to move out on my own again. I'm not sure if this is the reason but i want to drop out of school to get my own place, what should i do?Some advice on father, college and life.?
You're 21 - you should move out and get a place of your own. You aren't used to living with your father, and he's not used to having you living with him. To save the relationship, move out. It's always hard to go back to living with parents after you've lived on your own. Parents can't stop being parents no matter what their age. Hopefully, you can find some way of living on your own without dropping out of college. Maybe cutting back the course load. Good Luck!Some advice on father, college and life.?
He hasn't seen you grow up, or can't yet. Don't drop out of school, it's important. Suggest ways to him that you can make his rules more reasonable, and follow them. Finish your school, you will be so much better with it.
Thankfully I had a very stable family life, and at age 80 my parents are still married coming up on 59 years. I lived at home all through college, and with working full-time in between, that was until age 24. I was subject to house rules for that entire time, which did loosen up as I got older of course, but I was subject to spanking and other forms of punishment if I broke the rules, didn't do well in my studies, drove when I'd been drinking, etc. The structure was good for me, and it could be for you as well. I'm sure your father just has your best interest at heart, and you should talk this over with him (calmly), and arrive at mutually agreed upon rules and goals.
Well, you are old enough to live on your own, and you can drop out of college, if you want. You can always go back if you choose to.


You will have to get a good enough paying job to be able to afford to live on your own and buy food, car insurance, etc. Plus, if you took out a student loan, you'd have to keep up payments on that, so if you should decide to go back to school, you could get another loan


And, college doesn't insure a good job.


So, I guess you are going to have to look at, and weigh, the options.


No one can really tell you what to do on this one. You'll have to decide if you want to put up with your dad, or put up with the world of working and paying bills.


I don't think anyone can tell you which would be better, since they don't know your dad, or his rules, or you. Good luck making the right decision for you! :)
DO NOT drop out of college - live in the dorms before you do that. You need to concentrate on your schooling right now. Your relationship with your dad is surely interfering with your ability to concentrate on your education. Look at the long term not the short term. If you drop out of school now, you can't better yourself in the long run and end up with the good jobs. Try to find a roommate at school. Post something on the bulletin board and finish your education. Good luck!
