    Okay, about to be kicked out of house by parents, not really sure why, I've never cursed in the home, done drugs, never smoked, never got in trouble with teachers when I was in school, got goodish grades ( despite the fact that I worked beneath myself ), even as recently as last week had a great trip with my father when we got on brilliantly.

    But it seems that they find my attitude appalling and often compare me to my peers, who they could no nothing about. They complain about my lack of imput in the home, and disrespect for them.

    Anywho, about to be kicked out, which I can live with, I mean, I love my family and all, but I don't NEED them.

    So I'll probably be able to fund a room elsewhere for a few months on savings I already have, I have a job, but I haven't gotten any hours there in a very long time because the work is part time and the business is bad. So I really need to quit.

    I am in my first year of college but I rarely attend. I keep up with a bit of the continuous assessment, but I am worried that I will fail. I just don't find that its for me, and I have no idea what is going on at the moment. Perhaps I'm just not yet mature enough .

    So I was thinking of dropping out, which will mean that I wouldn't be able to afford to re apply next year if I am supporting myself. Basically it seems as if my life is about to be wasted before it even properly begins. Thoughts would be very appreciated, on moving out, finding a new place, finances, college, future etc. Cheers!

    You need to sort things out at home. try to attend classes in person. Talk things over with a friend you can trust. Seeing things from your parents point of view will help matters. And focus and what you want and go for it. If you have no target you have nothing to aim for.

    well if you get on so well with your parents why dont you discuss this with them? they obviously have to have their reasons for "kickin you out" if any. i kinda get the impression they wont and they are trying to kick start you into doing something.

    I'm a little confused as how you could not know why they are kicking you out.

    It sounds like they think you're being a waster (ie not really working, not really going into college), and it's easy to be that when living at home - so they are kicking you out hoping it will force you to learn to fend for yourself.

    Different parents have different tolerances for these things - some will let their kids sit at home doing nothing but playing video games for years, some make them get a job and pay rent as soon as their 16. Yours sound about in the middle.
