What do I do when my parents won’t give me a choice?

Bozeman

Question by : What do I do when my parents won’t give me a choice?
So my parents lost their store because of our dickhead landlord who told us we never paid him rent. Due to this loss my mom wants to sell our house and leave in our trailer and tour the country for a few years before settling down. Thing is I turn 18 next year and we’re leaving after I graduate high school. But I want to learn to be an adult and I think I can handle myself here in Cody. But I don’t know what I should do.
They didn’t really give me a choice in the first place which has led to my mind wandering off on these decisions. They told me I couldn’t stay in Cody that I had to go with them. But now I really don’t want to because I have a life here and I’m tired of moving all over the place. I’ve done it since I was eight. I’m tired and I want to be somewhere more than ten years for once in my life. Not to mention I would be leaving a great relationship with my fiance’, Eric, behind while also my best friend Bianca.
Question: Do I really want to go with my family next year or is there a better chance of me staying in Cody?
Answer?

Option #1: So I go with my family after graduation.

Pros: Get to travel the country. Get to see Salem. Get to look around in the Pacific Northwest area (which I’ve been wanting to do for a few years).

Cons: Not be able to work. Not be able to see, touch or spend time with Eric. Not be able to make long term friends. Possibly lose connection with Eric and Bianca here in Cody. Won’t get to start living life like an adult even afterward because there will be no money earned from not working the entire time.

Option #2: Stay in Cody.

Pros: Be with Eric. See Bianca through high school. See her graduate. Move with Eric to (college) Bozeman in Fall ’10. Be able to work. Be able to have money. Be able to make adult decisions.

Cons: Not sure whether I’m going to live with Eric, Bianca or have to find a place of my own. Not be able to see my parents, (but that’s going to happen eventually anyway).

Right now I’m completely miserable because I don’t know what I’m going to do. If I stay in Cody how do I break it to my parents without breaking their hearts?

So does anyone have any ideas for me? I really need all the help I can get…

legally, you can do what you want when you are 18. So, i don’t see the big deal of staying behind and trying to make it. There will be a lot of uncertainty by staying behind but if you feel confident that everything will work out, then it probably will.

Answer by themusicgirl95
Oh my gosh, what a pickle…
Well, if I had to make the decision, I would stay in Cody. Why? You’re an adult now, you are allowed to make your own decisions. Your parents can’t force you to go anywhere anymore. They should just let you live wherever you want to live, and be with Eric.

Question by Vampire1719: I’m afraid I won’t make friends in America?
I’m wondering are schools in America really like in the movies? I am sorta shy but i’m easy going..I have really bad self-eestem problems because I have the worst poofy/curly hair! I don’t want to be in a clique or the one the girls pick one.. In my school here everyone is so nice and friendly and they’re aren’t any cliques. I’m moving to either Bozeman,mt or Meuzula,mt or Williamsburg(Virginia). I’m a real people pleaser, and I always feel really ugly.
im not a forenigh actually im from billings montana and north dakota

Answer by buzby
stop thinking of yourself as ugly!
that’s probably why you have people issues
just remember that there’s always someone worse than you
and no, schools in america aren’t that much like in the movies
don’t worry, you’ll have so much fun :)

Answer by John Doe
Dont worry about it.. Theres some close minded people in montana.. But Its not bad like in you go to school in detroit, and have to worry about getting shot.. As far asanti bullying policies they do exist, but there are bullies at every american school, but i garentee there will be someone better to pick on then you.. Montana dosent have to many foreign people so you might be like a celebrity

Answer by Grim
You will make friends most definitely. And no girls should pick on you , after all there should be an anti-bullying policy . I’ve never truly been to an american school but it should be fine. If your moving to a new neighborhood find someone who goes to that school and you’ll be fine.

Just boost your esteem and don’t keep calling yourself ugly it’s because you don’t have much confidence , and afterall it’s just going to make moving harder.

Answer by Greenberry
i’m not from virginia, but here (in Texas) cliques are really non-existent, if we don’t like a person 9 times out of 10 it’s because of something someone did, not how they look

Question by George M: I just bought a MyBook Pro Edition (250 GB) and it won’t turn on at all. Help?
Is this most likely the power cord or the device itself. Are there stores (like Best Buy’s Geek Squad) that would be able to help me with finding out what to do (I’m in Bozeman, Montana)? Any suggestions welcome.

Answer by FEMMALABUSH
hopefully you didnt buy it from walmart! anyway got to the manufactrures web site and troubleshoot it, otherwise, go to your add hardware and install it there.
good luck!

Answer by Random_D
Hello! It could easily be the device itself or the power supply. It’s not like one fails more than the other. Just to make sure nothing is broken make sure that the A/C adapter is firmly in the connector and try a different outlet too just in case that one is busted.

A place like Geek Squad would be able to fix it however it would probably cost at least 100 dollars to take that route, it might even be more than the price of the device itself.

If it is brand new most stores offer a 14 day if not 30 day defective exchange policy where you can bring it back and just have it exchanged for another new working one as long as you have a receipt. If you are unable to get back to the same chain of store you purchased it from, then I’m sure it’s still under warranty through Western Digital, but don’t tell them you’re missing the receipt, they should be able to find the date of purchase with the serial number look up.

Here is the western digital support website: http://support.wdc.com/

Lastly, if they say that the power adapter is what’s broken and it’s not covered under warranty, ask to speak to the manager. Make sure not to argue, reason with them, say that you’ve always been a fan of Western Digital and was hoping they could live up to your expectations.

Thank you and good luck!
