<prompt> Human: So last semester I didnt do so well in school and failed a few courses. However previously my grades have been quite good and the school has agreed to remove the last semesters grades from my gpa calculation with a footnote explanation that it was for medical reasons.However this severely surprised my parents, and they have been borderline stalking me this semester. After I found out I was doing pretty well in my classes after midterms I missed a few classes. While I know this was pretty stupid of me to do, my parents are overreacting and want to pull me out of school and stop paying for future semesters. Because I think this could substantially hurt my future. I was wondering how I could go about looking for a student loan or an alternative way for paying for school myself. I really think I need to effectively cut myself off from my parents for a while in order to be successful. Any information would be greatly appreciated.  <response>: and they have been borderline stalking me this semester.I do have a rule in my house with my college age kids, and I do not have many, my money my rules.To be honest if you got a reset on your grades, you were very lucky, and you are missing class again then I would be stalking you. All that tuition they paid for was thrown in the trash, so why should they keep throwing good money after bad, it is their money. Even if medical was the issue it is still money wasted if you are not going to class.I think maybe you do need to take a semester off and get a job and get priorities straight on whether college is for you. Being in school and wasting money on tuition is fruitless, if you do not get the grades to make it worth the effort. You said the condition was medical, so that cuts you slack and it should, but if not ready to get full into college, take a semester off.
