@JohnTaylor yeah, the issue is not being able to move out and the fact I have exams coming up and I've barely even been able to study largely due to them but that's a whole other story 😅 I try to ignore them most of the time but when they get in the way of my future that's when it's too much for me

@ozgirl512 Thank you, I think the main comfort to me are my friends and partner who keep in touch with me and definitely platforms like this are needed at times where I can't voice my feelings to my family without getting ignored

@bijouxbroussard Thank you and that is my point exactly! If we just respected everyone who is older than us we would be respecting a lot of nasty people in the world who do not deserve respect.

@SW-User Yup, I hate the age card. It isn't fair or justified, especially since age doesn't always define maturity.

@MissMoon Some people find it easier just to shut you down by saying they're your elder rather than debating or explaining why you're wrong or actually having to admit that they're wrong sometimes.

@updown2020 I am a full time student working part time, I cant afford a flat at the moment and even if I could moving is prohibited right now.

I was planning to work more hours over summer to save up but my workplace is closed and wont reopen until further notice. The only option I have is moving in with my uncle but it's really far from my university so it is an absolute last resort if things get worse.

@MissMoon Well how about on campus housing ? or a friend

@updown2020 campus housing is more expensive than a flat 😅 none of my friends live on their own, they all live with family so theres nobody to move in with

@SW-User I am sorry you can relate to this :(
