Starting My Life....HELP!!

Hi Kel, when you're a kid that has grown up with a medical condition such as this, your parents are always going to be worried about you. I don't know what kind of epilepsy you have and how much under control you have it, but having trust between you and your parents is the best way for them to become comfortable with you being away for school. I'm 21 and have had seizures since I was 6 or 7 and currently living away from home myself. I'm in my third year of college and nearly 3.5 hours drive from home. You just have to keep telling your parents that eventually you're going to be independent and that they can't always be there for you as much as they'd like to. Always having this medical condition can't stop you from living your life! I always use to live in fear when i was younger because i figured i wouldnt be able to live normally since I have this condition but you'll learn over time that you can't let this stop you! You have to keep living and your parents won't always be along side you. I hope your school year has started out well. Zach.

Hi Kelkel, i understand how you feel. You are still young just grown up. Grown up people always like this, taking action without considering many things then put them in big trouble and even in danger. For you to know that epilepsy can't be cured 100% through medicine or human will. Perhaps you feel that you can control it but you just don't know it yet for sure. Can you imagine if your epilepsy came back when you are away from your parent then nobody care for you? You are dead for sure. If you think that your friends will care for you you just don't know it for sure. Can you imagine if you are in danger and dead because your epilepsy happening in bad time, your parent will be very sad and cry. Do you want to make you parent sad? Don't you know there are few people dead because epilepsy came back in bad time and location and they couldn't get help quickly? Your parents wants to take you with them because they love you. It is natural as parents want to protect their son. You are lucky that you have parents who care for you, some time some people just don't grateful for everything they already have. There are many children do not have parents out there, no one to love and care for them. You are lucky but you just don't seem grateful. There a time when you will be separated from your parents forever then you will miss your parents and cry but what for? it is useless. You must put yourself thinking as a parent who has a son. If you were a father you must protect your son too. One day you will understand this.
