im 18 i live with my parent here in NYC my parents are here in USA for 8 years im here for almost 5 years we came here from Poland
since i came here they kinda depend on me i have to go with them ot the doctors, different offices etc.. and im really sick of it cause they dont know any english and they dont even try to learn it ( my mom is 50 and my dad is 51)
now i dont go out anywhere casue of them cause they ( well my mom) always asks what,when.where,with who etc.... im heading to college next year and after that i wanna move out but thye are like no no your not going anywhere cause they think that im gonna go back with them to Poland they are waiting till they can pass the citizen ship test( we are greencard holders)
i had some prblmes with my weight i had a broken neck and i was out of school ofr a year and during that time i gained 70 pound i lost all of it already but i still have some low self esteem i dont have any friends i spend most of the time home alone i dont have anyone to talk to i mean i have friend but we usually dont hang out cause they live in different state( in NJ)
what can i do ?? sometimes i feel really alone
i do a lot of thing by myself i do my own laundry,i go shopping on my own i found the school that i was attending on my own also they didnt found it
for me yes im an only child but that ';control'; is getting really annoying i have a cousin the same age as me nad he can do what the heck he wants and his parents dont interferee in his social life
i talked with them and it seems like it went in one ear and came out the other
i dropped out from HS when i was in 10th grade now i m getting my GED and then im going to veterinaty school to become vet tech
they told me thta they will not leave me here in USa alone that they wanna find me a wife and then that i can move on my own i mean it not 1800's when parents are choosing partners for their kids
i kinda have a secret that i keep from them i tihnk that im bi i dont know im still going thru puberty so maybe the hormones are still jumping up and down but i do find both sexes attractive sometimes
maybe something will change after the college years i told them that i wanna move out from NY to the west coast like CA or AZ or WAIm having some problems with my parents im really thinking about moving out , i need some help/advice?
They can't force you to return to Poland as you are of age.
As you are in NYC I'm sure that there are places where they and you can go to help them learn English.
It is harder for adults then kids.
I think that they are clinging to you because they can't talk to anyone else.
As for bi you are already old enough to know how you feel sexually
I have heard from some women I know that they knew before the age of ten.Im having some problems with my parents im really thinking about moving out , i need some help/advice?
They are old school Polish. They won't change, but should have by now found Polish friends who they can work things out with. You are new age American. There hasn't even been an in between time when generations can adjust to the new life. Find them some place where they can get out, church, etc. Keep confirming to them that you are an American now and you will remain so. Compare your life to theirs for them and show them why they are still Polish and you are not. Show them your path and ask them what their path is. Tell them you honor their choice and they should honor yours. They must understand you are do not have the same direction and neither of you should obstruct the others way...
