People put pressure on me to "grow up" and "get a job" but college is really hard and stressful especially full time. I'm only 21 and people keep giving me crap about it and call me a leach? Is this just my parents and brothers or does most of society consider it "leachy" to do this? I have had jobs here and there, and I also struggle with depression, ADHD, and social anxiety and things have been tough with me because I've made a lot of friends and girlfriends who seemed like nice people and pretended to be for a long time and then I found out some of were using me and some of them were just bad people to there core. It's been really difficult for me to move on because I had a good childhood with lots of nice friends and a lot of them are too busy to visit or have moved away? Shouldn't people understand (especially my parents) why I'm not as energetic and don't want a job on top of school?!?! It really makes me sad because I don't know what do about it because my parents and brothers are basically the only people I can still talk to and I still trust. Does anyone know what to do in this situation?

Don't let them stress you out anymore. Just believe in your heart that you're doing the right thing cuz once you're done, you'll graduate and get a good paying job in no time!
Good luck!
I wish I didn't have to work. College is stressful. Working through college is more stressful.
don't let them stress you. even though college sucks most of the time you should try to have a good time. I can relate to your situation, but honestly: just don't give a f. :)
I say that you are doing a great job as it is right now, even depending on your parents/living in their house. I know what it's like too, as I'm currently in college as well, and depending on/living with my dad. Just do the best you can, and get a job and move out when you get the chance. Don't worry too much about what other people think too. This isn't high school anymore, haha :)
The bottom line is that they are just being haters.
