Re: Asking parents for financial support? -

A lot of people are able to get support from their parents while they are going through school. Some parents do refuse to help their children though and that is something you will have to risk by asking. However, if you have a relatively decent relationship with your parents I don't think they will refuse to help you. And, honestly, if you need the help they should be the ones to help you, you know? You are doing what you can to support yourself and working and going to school is not an easy feat (even if you are only working part time).
Confiding in your parents about your struggles might be helpful because they might be able to make some suggestions as well. At one point, they were probably struggling college students who needed help and there might be some things that they learned back then that could end up helping you.
I think that if you do decide to talk to your parents about this you should definitely do so at a time when they are not super stressed out. Maybe ask them if you could get together some weekend and go from there.
Best of luck.
