Andrea - I feel kind of stressed out. People at school...teachers...keep talking to me about college. They give me advice. What did I want to do? Where do I want to go? What do I want to be? They all want me to major in their subject.
Me - That's normal. They're excited for you. They know your potential.
Andrea - But I'm only in 8th grade. It sounds scary. It's too much....I'm only in 8th grade.
Me - Honey, listen to me. Don't go to college. Take a year off after high school. Go to junior college. Stay home and bake cookies with me for a year. Travel. Get a job..............It's all totally fine with us. Whatever works for you. We love you.
Very long pause..................................................
Andrea - No.... I want to go to college.
Me - Don't worry about it for a few years.
Andrea - It's just that........everyone has their ideas of what I should do. I wanna decide for myself.......I want them to leave me alone.

Well, looks like the Bright Kid is right...
Why don't you give it a try and stop giving advices ? Why not letting the tree growing it's own way ?
