Situations: {Family, College and Life}

  So, we all know for the most part that our  family members want the best for us as far as the occassional pressure to go to college or find a mainstream job that makes good money..but has it ever come across your mind that there maybe other motivations for this encouragement to prosper, for instance have you ever had the feeliungs that maybe they wanted you to succeed for bragging rights, or so that they can secretly get a redo on their own lives by living through you..now hopefully these things i have mention are the latter. but still isnt the thought of it aggrevating. i mena it makes me just want to scream its my life esp. when that person or those people have not offrered or can't afford to pay for the success in you they want to see. 

Its like :So u want me to pay money out of my pocket of spend endless nights searhing for scholorships pay for room and board and find the job you want me to have w/o any assistance from you but a hand clap in the background...hmmm"

Now don't get me wrong im not saying that all of this esp. when its also the students goals and aspirations should all be paid for or supported by said family member or members .but what i am saying is dont pressure us when ur not adding some assistance of some matter, all it is is an extra weight on the shoulders and on the mental. Let us live our lives.......
