I'm considering on dropping out, Is my reason valid?
Rn I'm currently at archi school... And I gotta say it's actually causing me alot of mental issues.I already felt burnt out when I graduated from high school, and rn I'm also a student assistant-Basically it's like a scholarship program...and it's basically paying my tuition. I can shift in my next sem... But lately I've been thinking I don't really want to go to college.... And it's not bec of the major... It's just i don't seem very interested in academics as of rn... Probably bec I'm drained and burnt out... It's weird to see peers working so hard for something I'm not interested in..' its weird to feel and to know that I can do better in my current situation... But at the Same Time I can't..... I used to be an honors student... And now I'm missing classes.... And I'm barely passing.... Ik if I worked hard... It would work out... But lately I feel like instead of pushing trough and forcing myself... I've been thinking of actually making some changes in my life. But at the same time I can't.... My parents won't let me drop out.... Or they'll most likely kick me out (and BTW this isn't my assumptions they literally told me that).... Family, academics... Work everything has been draining me... Rn I wanna pursue a job.. And move out... But at the same time I'm scared.... Bec I just can't move out....... Idk anymore.... I dont really wanna share this but my home isn't really the best place to grow up either.... I just feel so tired... And exhausted. Especially with my parents..... They've always been emotionally neglectful...... They never listened and comprehend... Nor they try to understand me.... They always assume the worse from me... They always make me feel like I'm such a Shitty person either... And there were times... That they really stepped out of line.... Making me think they're abusers....I just don't know anymore.....

Hello, ik im responding late but thanks for all of your guys advice. I've currently decided to take counseling from my uni. I can't say my situation is better rn cause it's not, but I'm still trying and pushing. I can't really take a leave from uni due to some unfortunate reasons, but I'm trying my best to get by. I just wanted to say thanks, bec I realized I'm still hanging m, bec I've met some nice and understanding people who didn't judge me but tried to understand me.
Gurl or guy its very hard make decisions this big if you are really can't focus and feel like your health is getting worse then yes you should but not dropping taking a leave of absence and see if you really wanna work in different sectors cus the moment you do and think for a moment you will know if you wanna continue or not cus sure everything is hard, But do what you wanna work hard for. Also try not tell your parents if you do decides to drop or take leave make sure you get a job somewhere else and pretend to go to uni until you can move out and leave on your own if you decided to not to leave uni try staying with your parents until you graduate then move out cus you know rent and you more burnd out also if you uni has a dorm or something like that why not apply or try to live there tell your parents you wanna focus on school. Sorry I am very inexperienced in those situations and I don't wanna give you any wrong advice but sometimes we made some decisions not because we want to its the circumstances that made us do it. I am a uni student to a international one eventhought I grew up with the local my tuition fees is so expensive I always felt like I shouldn't be studying but I wanted even through its hard and i am not not smart or anything just average but I try to and try eventhought I disappoint my parents and myself. I also choose major i never wanted and went to uni i didn't choose but I will still study cus i can't afford to change it. Idk what else to say every sem i try to get a A then i lower than that, i have myself to blamed cus i don't study early. And idk what the future but I know what we need to do is do our best today. Sorry i just went rambling hehe.
I hope you find your answers soon.
i think theres some univ who offers leave of absence in this way you can leave for few months or a year instead of dropping out. you can try reading your university handbook again
Hang in there, it's very normal to feel burnout as a college student at your age, especially after you know how make money feels like.
But if you drop out now, you will regret it later. You will feel like you are left behind of your peers years later and will want to repeat class, there will be time when you want to repeat time too. It's just normal for your age.
I think you need to continue studying and save up the scholarships and by then you can leave with money to look a place. It's just hard to leave if you are not prepared.
