Let me introduce myself first. I'm Adam, i'm 16 years old and i'm from Maryland.

I don't know if anybody else has been through this but i recently told my mom i didn't want to go to a 4 year college and that i'm going to be an entrepreneur, she flipped S**t. Telling me i'm going to be broke and she's not going to be able to support me. I told her i wanted to move to Florida with a friend and DRIVE my fastlane. She obviously didn't understand. What should i tell her? i have read the "stuck" post but nothing seems to help. If any of you all on here have been through this, how did you handle it? How did it go after?

Thank you for reading.
