Alright, no -reps unless ACTUALLY VALID. Like, they are racist, or something of that nature. What are your feelins on how much influence a parent or parents should have on where their child goes to college? My girlfriend's parents are trying to force her to go to a Bible college in Nashville, are they over stepping their boundary? I think so, it's her future, she should be able to do what she wants... Anyways, discuss.
I think it should be the persons decision to if they would like to go.However i think its been drummed into my head since a young age that you would go uni etc.So i finished gcse,a levels and now doing a degree.Howver yeh bottom line no1 should be forced.
You'd think. I've gotten in her dad's face TWICE over this, and he still refuses to change his mind. I pushed him over his couch last time, and he just told me to leave. I was kind of hoping he'd swing. Lol. Anyways, she's almost eighteen now, and she's moving out with her friend when they both turn eighteen, so I supose she'll have her choice.
decission of both.. For Eg. if the parents now that their child is very clever.. and the child wants to go to the lowest rank of schools (Lets say the not soo smart people) Then the parents need to send here to an higher rank.. If you know what i mean ..
but look at it from their point of veiw, they are the ones that have looked after he for 16 years? she might be older? or younger? and they just want the best for her, but i think when it comes to religion imo i dont think anyone should tell anyone how to practise or to belive in there relgion. so to sum it up, if they want her to go there for relgious perpuses then they are in the wrong. EDIT: and o ye, most people/children/teenagers tend to copy what there friends are doing, so sometimes parents need to interveen, like some of my mates have just taken the same courses at the same place just so they can 'be together' lol!
her choice to make...she's not a child anymore, if she allows her parents to dictate this, then she will be predominately seen and treated as such by her parents. There are certain points in life where "you" need to be able to assert yourself and take the reins of your own life, that being said, others can advise you as to what you should do, but it is ultimately your decision.
You'll see, she's gonna do what she wants to do. Once you're out of thehouse, your parents can't really say much, y'know?
EXCUSE ME? - k back on-topic, It's pretty retarded that they're forcing her to "Bible" school.. She should be able to go to whatever college supports the courses she wants..
