Hey Elle,

I don't think there's anything wrong with asking your parents for a bit of financial support. While it might feel like an uncomfortable conversation, remember that they were your age once too! I'm sure they remember the struggle of balancing school with a minimum wage job.

If you're nervous about asking them, perhaps you could come up with a game plan beforehand about how you plan on paying them back. You could also let them know that you're willing to do a little extra work around the house in exchange for the support if you think that might help the situation. I'm sure they'll be more than willing to help you out, especially if you show them that you want to handle it like an adult.

Take care,
Sammi
