To me it's a dream, I've always wanted to go travelling, but my mom keeps being negative..
I can't go to Thailand after she keeps watching this tv programme about all the bad things that happen there scams drug trafficking British and other backpackers binge drinking till they pass out and get robbed by ladyboys
I can't go to Malaysia because she thinks there are rebels there,
I can't go to Canada or Australia on a "working holiday" with this tour agency because it's too expensive...
Or just looks at me like it's a bad idea to go backpacking...
But I help and work on the farm..
She says it's ok for our neighbours son or a former classmate to go because they're going with their friends...and is afraid I might be like I wass in college, going psycho and trying to kill myself (because people were bullying me...) mute etc.
I am not "mature enough" how would I cope etc
My dad thinks I'm thick and never talk to people, and so old fasioned moaning about the boring sheep all the time!
(I'm completely different with people I dont know!)
...why do I want to go abroad? Apart from proving to people in this area who think I'm not all there that I am independent enough to look after myself now .. I want to be able to learn new things, make new friends and be able to enjoy life!
The only place I probably can go is the Philippines because I have relatives on my moms side there... I'm tired of going there being treated like a kid! my 14 year old cousin is treated more like an adult than me!
Why is my brother allowed to study in an expensive university in London and get work experience with madam toussoud or who ever, when I'm not even allowed to go out on my own, just for a few months during the winter when we're not busy on the farm?
I keep doing what other people want me to do all my life!
Is it really too late now at 23?
The guy I know is going to more countries and staying longer than me and he only just graduated from college, where me I work and they wont let me go...
I feel that SA and people from college have ruined my chances!
