If you’re under 18 and at your absolute wits’ end, I want you to know that I’m begging you to please keep it together just a few more years.

College is freedom. It’s the first time you’ll be able to make your own decisions about your life. It’s the first time you’ll be able to get away from whatever awfulness is going on at home.<br><br>Just a few more years.<br><br>Things can suck, and I get that. Even though it sucks, I’m begging you to find a way to keep it together and get into college. It’s a bit of a crap shoot, but it can be done like 99% of the time. You can either get away from the people driving you nuts, or you can get away from the people who are ruining your life.<br><br>High school is a pressure cooker, but if you find a way to keep it together you’ll be able to start living your own life within a few years. Just hold on, you can make it.
