Why is there a pressure for college degrees?

Get good grades.Don’t do something stupid.

Follow in your sisters foot steps. Be an athlete. Stay healthy. Stay on the right path. All these things my parents have told me praying and hoping i go to college.

I get college is important, but so is being my own person. My parents love me I know, but they want me to get a college degree and get a good job. All this stress and pressure is raising my blood pressure. I’m soon gonna have to run away or move away and keep away from them. My family is important, but If I could run my life it would revolve around them instead of school and books.

The pressure is finally getting too much and I don’t know if I can handle it. I just need to be worry free.
