Okay, so i've made up my mind, I'm going to Filton College to do my A Levels, I've got the application and filled it out, it's ready to be posted... only problem is, i'm too scared to tell my parents! :S

You see, the thing is, over the past year or two, i've changed my mind so many times now with regards to studies and my future that I'm now thinking that my parents will just think it's me trying to find something to do with myself. I don't really know if I can explain to them why I want to do this course, i just do. And then I don't want them thinking that I'm deciding to go back to school simply because I don't want a job (which is far from the truth, I will need a job whether I go to College or not!).

So now I'm quite nervous and i'm trying to find the right way to tell them. These things usually come out over dinner, so I might try then. I really don't want to make too big a deal out of it. So i'm wanting to find a nice calm 'social' time to do it and not be all "sit down, there's something I want to talk to you about".

Why do I have to make life complicated for myself!? *cries*

b_b

P.S. I do really feel like crap today, I dunno what it is but i'm not very happy :(

Hi sweetie, I wonder if you have talked to them yet.

I think you are young enough for it to be good, or at least not bad, that you have changed your mind many times recently, because now is the best time to think very hard about your future! By all means don't do what you think "will do for now" (not that I think you will). I have seen people changing their careers or wanting to do it when they are about 30 or older, and most of them seem stuck or are having a hard time. I think it works out for most people to decide on the path they want to take in their lives by the time they are about 25 and stick to it after that. If they get into something new when they are 30 or so, in their new careers they will find so many other people who are the same age as them and much more skilled...although of course some people succeed in their career changes and they lead happier lives after that.
