Man that is a real buzz kill. I have been on my own since 20 (cant think about it happening at 18) but that was my decision. Getting my college degree and making money for everything was tuff, but made me that much more proud of everything I accomplished. Hope everything works out for you! And as much as parents may upset you, just remember they are the only ones you'll get, they have the years of experience and wisdom and can teach you many things. I've grown extremely close to my parents and they continue to teach me new things about life and love.
