i think i’m going insane.... i’m 17 years old and being raised in a jw household.

i really want friends and a boyfriend but i can’t have that because my parents are jw and i’m also homeschooled.

they are those jw parents that refuse to let me go to public school because of bad influences.

For people wondering I do live in the US. I live in the southwest. Also I have about 6 and half months till I turn 18

I will graduate with a highschool deploma soon, the homeschool I’m in is online but connected to a real public school. They will let me go to community college and I’ve FINALLY convinced them to let me get a job. If it was just up to my mom she wouldn’t let me but my dad says I can.

Thank you everyone for your advice!! Unfortunately my entire family are jws on both sides, so I can’t find support there, and I would have to cut of communication with all of them except for one cousin I have. I may consider contacting her, although we haven’t talked in a while because she’s “a bad influence”.

I think I’m going insane.... I’m 17 years old and being raised in a jw household. I really want friends and a boyfriend but I can’t have that because my parents are jw and I’m also homeschooled. They are those jw parents that refuse to let me go to public school because of bad influences. I want to move away and start a new life. But I have very little money and no connections. I have dreams of being a model or getting into the music industry, but my parents have a hold on me and it’s not easy to just pick up and leave and pursue my dreams. What makes this even harder is that my parents are very “promininent” in the circuit. My dads an elder pioneer convention speaker, my moms a pioneer and I’ve been pioneering since I was nine. Yeah you read that right... IVE been pioneering since I was NINE. I was baptized at 8 and do not think I was mature enough at all to make that decision. Now I’m stuck. My parents pressured me into it and said “you know you really need to get baptized soon”. I was only 8 so I was like whatever. If I leave my family will be torn apart. I don’t get along with jw kids and everyone in our hall are older. I’m so depressed, help!!
