Not a parent. Just a junior in highschool whose parents can not and will not pay for me to go to college.
I so wish I had thier support, they don't seem to think it's particularly important. They have been "grades are important" or "do good in school" parents (yes, I just made it a type) and I've always wished they had pushed me a little harder and made more of a big deal out of it. Not that I wouldn't have rebelled (whole new story) but I think in the long run, it would have helped me out.
It would be very important for me to pay or at least help fund my kids college.
