A little worried about going to college due to family?

maybe you should get your own place and take your little brother with you

You can't plan your life around what might happen with your family. If you've been accepted to a good school, go. You can't (and shouldn't) put your life on hold because of your father. Your mother is an adult and it's up to her to handle the problems at home.

If your father is verbally abusive, why has no one called the police on him? It's domestic abuse and he has no business being around anyone if that's how he is going to act? This should be dealt with now regardless of your college situation.

As for going to school out of state, unless you want to go into a specialized field like medicine or law where your undergraduate degree really matters, community college is fine for a year or two. In most cases, you will take exactly the same courses. So if you feel like staying closer to home is a good idea, you'll still be able to go to college and just transfer your credits to another school when you finish the basics. Plus, community colleges are usually cheaper. You won't have to pay for out of state costs, which is a big bonus.

However, the main concern here is that you are essentially putting your life on hold because of your father's behavior. Are you going to stay home forever to watch over this situation? You can't. You should not be putting your life on hold because he cannot behave correctly. You need to deal with the situation permanently. He needs to get help for his alcoholism and his anger issues.

Do not throw away a chance to further your life for the better because you are afraid of what might happen at home.

Just go! You need the experience. If you go and after a year you don't like it, you can switch schools. But give it a year. Usually the first semester is the hardest away from home and if you give up too soon, you'll likely miss out on a lot of really good friendships and experiences.

Your younger brother will be fine. Your mother will be fine. This girl you like? Eh, you aren't ready for a serious relationship yet---you're so young and you have so much to experience. You will more than likely meet several different girls.

Don't sell yourself short. You aren't being selfish for wanting to go to an out-of-state school.

Hello, I’m sorry to hear this. It sounds like you and your brother have a very close relationship. I’m sure he’ll call you since it sounds like you both trust each other. As for the girl, ask her if she has a social media so you guys can still be friends and talk to each other :).

I suggest you go to the good collage out of state. Get a good education, good job, get money to buy a house and when you get that house, you can let your siblings live with you. You worked hard to get this far and I would regret it if I drop an opportunity this beneficial for the future.

I hope I helped! :)

With a cell phone you can call you younger brother every day, make a point of doing so.

Is your older brother close enough to deal with talking to the rents if they are getting at it too hot and loud?

These are not valid reasons no

You should go to the best school you can

Your brother will find his way

you cant stay at home forever, its your mothers responsibility to ensure the safety and well being of her children,

are you even dating this girl?

College should be the best years of your life and a gateway to ensuring you have a better quality of life as an adult

you cannot place that on the back seat because your mother stays with an alcoholic

Depends on what you are planning to study, does your community college offer the major of your choice? If it does not is not worth changing your major for something you might not like to keep being stuck with your family. If you do that you’ll always be stuck with them.
