I suppose I'm being too harsh as well but I'm speaking from personal experience also. I have a little brother who insists on drinking and smoking 90% of his time away, he is still in school getting his Masters or something but is very vocal about not wanting to work or get a job. His goal is to never stop going to school and live off my parents until they are dry, my parents are in their 70's and working hard to keep him and his lifestyle going.
I on the other hand, left school early, took up working and don't ask for one penny from my parents. Everything I have in the room around me, I bought... All the food I put in my mouth, I buy and any rent/bills, I pay. I don't look for handouts from anyone and I think at 19 you gotta learn that on your own or later you will grow up to be a 30 yearold spoiled, selfish, know it all prick like my little brother. 5string: I'm not sure what you went to Uni for, but my brother entered for the Arts and now you can't tell him anything. He drinks a star bucks coffee morning/after/evening along with his whiskey, beer and smokes that my parents all foot the bill for. They also pay for his rent when he's not at home and all of his education (they never paid for mine and I never asked). I don't know where he developed this attitude from but its as if the world owes him.
OP it would do you well to figure out how to survive and make it on your own two feet. Its even better if you do it somewhere that you have absolutely 0 safety net to catch you if you fall. I prefer living internationally because it keeps me responsible and goal focused.
When I think to myself should I buy an XBOX or put more money in my bank account just in case, the answer seems simple, bank it. If I was still at home, I probably wouldn't hesitate to buy the Xbox. I seriously question how many DJs/PUAs are not living out of their mom's basement?
I have another friend who has lived with his relatives for years until recently when they died. Well now he is forced to get a job and can't use that as an excuse anymore, he is not only fvked for money, he's actively seeking welfare and does not want to work (even though I've offered to get him a job here several times). He is an able bodied man who is well into his mid 30's and yet can't seem to get his act together...
Your parents are doing you a favor and later on you will be happy they did. Seek gainful employment before college, at least then, you'll know why you should be attending college and like 5string says, why it sucks to live out of a van (it does). You need to experience HUNGER first before you can truly understand it. It is a driving force.
BTW, women love a man who can take care of himself. More than anything, a man who is gainfully employed with his own apartment is more of a turn on to a woman than a 6 pack, bodybuilder who lives at home with mom and dad. Women seek money and stability and can you blame them? No one wants to marry a grown up child.
