I'm kinda pissed. I don't want to sound bratty but I'm almost 18 and I need a car when I go off to college. My dad used to promise us that he would buy us s car when we finished hs. My dad helped my brother buy a car when he was 18 so I thought The same goes for me and my little brother since we're his sons too but I guess not.
My 18th birthday is next week and I told him I had wanted a car and specifically A ford fusion 2012 i've seen for around 7500 bucks. He told me that I had to work for my own car and he can't help me with the payment or insurance which are high.
I don't know how to feel. I honestly understand that yeah its my car that I need and I should pay for it but I feel cheated. I was really looking forward to him helping me get a car. Ever since I was 13 I was told that he was going to get us all cars for college. My brother did not even go to college after his senior year and my dad still helped with his payments but He doesn't want to help me.
And I'm not lazy and I have a 3.8 gpa all honors and joined several extracurriculars, leader of a scholar club and scored of an act score 26. Which is above average.
I do plan on getting a job next month but I was going to quit around August right before I go off to college. I do not want to try and find work during my 1st year of college. This really made me angry more then anything and if I have to get a car all on my own then honestly I have nothing to say to my parents in life.
