[Legend]

Right, for over a year now i've 100% wanted to join the army when i turned 16 but my parents and grandparents etc have all been against it. My mum and dad have both refused to sign the forms for me to join up when i'm 16 and if they don't then that means i will have to wait untill i am 18 which i DON'T want to do.

My mum, dad, 2 of my grandparents, aunties etc etc all want me to become an 'accountant' because yeah, i enjoy maths and i'm really good at it but i've basically told them to shove there accountant expectations for me up there bumhole as it's 100% not going to happen. Yeah, i'd be good at it and the money would be great but i couldn't do it, i couldn't handle a 9-5 job, the same boring $hite every day of the week. I want something exciting from life, there are soo many different things you can do with the Army, soo many experiences etc, soo much excitement.

I don't mean this is in a like 'i'm better way' butt i really couldn't do one of those jobs, i mean, when you wake up in the morning, what would you have to look forward to? The same as the day before and the day before that? FUN FUN FUN! Orrrr, you might even go out for a drink for an hour after work, too much excitement for one week eh?!

I really couldn't see myself doing it. I'm not even sure if i would even pass the medical as i've got quite bad asthma but the way it's going, i won't be able to even try untill i'm 18.

They all want me to get a job like that, but it's my life and my future so i will do what i want. They know that i will sign myself up at 18 anyway but are still dead set on not letting me go at 16.

As i said before, if i don't get in due to my asthma then they will think it's a godsend as i will have to get a typical 9-5 job. Yeahhhh right, i firstly want to go travelling and see some of the world and i would love to end up in somewhere like Spain, getting a job in a bar and basically enjoying my life, coming home every now and then and just basically living my life the way i want to.

Yeah, i want a lot from life etc but that's because i'm willing to work for it, i'm 100% gonna follow my dreams and do what i want to do. I know that if i don't do everything i want to do then i will get to the age of about 50 and regret it, regret not following my dreams basically.

Yeahhh, a typical office job is enough for other people (and again, i don't mean this in a 'i'm better way' cause i'm not) but it's not enough for me, it really isn't. Life is there to be lived so why not live it? And moree importantly, live it the way YOU want to. NOT the way your parents want you to because at the end of the day, who's life is it? There's or yours? I knew this post would turn into me chatting on and on lol.

Basically, i was having a rant about my parents and every other person trying to stop me from doing what i want to do (which will NEVER happy babayy) but also FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS!

All a bit 'serious' from me but hey, it's 4 in the morning, i've been thinking about life and getting really excited about doing the things i want to do.

Oh also, the point of this thread was to get advice lmao. Anyone else have similar problems, not neccaserilary about the army or even a job but about parents or other people trying to stop them from doing things because they want something different for you etc?

Andd can i have noo smart alec comments in here please, don't want any barstool taking the wee out of my hour long speech and i won't have to send you a nasty U2U.

Oooo have i really wrote all this without a single swear word? *records date & time* noww, end of speech me thinks and more importantly (the poor ba$tard reading this) veryyy much hopes.
