I agree, education is soo important, friends come and go, if they're really worth it then you'll stay friends with them no matter how far you live from them. It's only for a couple of years and if you decide to go to uni you'll probably move away anyway.

Education is much, much more important long-term. A couple of years and it'll be over, so do the hard thing now to give yourself a better future.



Besides, the second option sounds about a million times better anyway - so do that. Working full-time is crap, as is looking for a flat in a hurry. Meet new people, keep in touch with your freinds, move in with them after college maybe. Plus cars are cool. If your step mum pees you off, you can sleep in your car wink

What a wonderful miracle if only we could look through each other's eyes for an instant.

This may sound silly but could you not stay there and go to college where you are? Then you get education and stay where you like! If not then I'd go with option 2 - it seems more sensible. I know Newbury but have no idea where Mansfield is - is it far?

Can I aslso just add, Whats saying you will not have any fun if you go to college? Being a student is great fun and you will get to do things that you would not get to do otherwise. Later in life, you would probably regret not going to college, think about it this way, if you do number 1, nothing in your life will be changing that much, the place you live and friends you have will stay the same, where as in number two you will meet loads of new people AND have all you old friends. You have your whole life to get a job, and you are more likley to be much happier in one that you need a higher level of education for, and can go places. Educatiuon and college life will open a lot of oppertunities for you. I know people who chose not to go to college for variing reasons, and deeply regreted it, and went back later in life, but its a compleatly different experience, you will be with people a lot younger than you and it gets harder to learn as you get older, especially after being out of school.

I say take the risk and move away, don't waste your life

But at the end of the day, thats just my opinion, and so are the others posted up here. Its only you who can make the right decision for you. I just advise you to look at the long term, not the short term. And really, the freinds aspect shouldn't come into it, at some point in your life, your friends and ou will move away, learn to deal with it now, and learn that making new freinds is easy, we're very lucky nowadays that keeping in contact is so easy. Number two means you can have a laugh with your old freinds, and who knows, you may have a bigger one with your new friends. Keep us posted on what you decide.
