No they allow me to make my own decisions Whatever will make me happy Either get a job , work for myself or go to higher education . Depends what i end up wanting to do They don ' t mind as long as I am happy with my decision They are happy with what I want to do Live my dream !!! They don ' t mind , it ' s up to me ! Go into the army as soon as possible They don ' t mind as long as I ' m happy with what I ' m doing Don ’ t care as long as I ’ m happy and doing something They rarely input on what they want my future to entail because they support whatever I want Achieve my dreams and get a job They want me to do well get a job go into higher education and max skills My parents don ’ t mind what I do it isn ’ t there choice it is up to me Look i ' m 14 years old i ' m just trying to get through lockdown without having to worry about what i ' m going to do when i ' m 18 Do whatever makes me happy as long as can be self suf cient They want me to do what I want They agree with me on going to college Do what I enjoy doing

My father wants me to join the navy , my mother and stepfather believe i should do what i want to do ( college ) and to also get a job They don ' t have a preference Defer a year then go into Higher Education Do what I want . I am fortunate enough to live in a middle class family who has not been severely impacted by the virus therefore our situation hasn ' t really changed . Doesn ’ t matter to them .
