If you stick with God, everything will be okay. Even though things can and will get rough, it's all a learning experience. In a sense, what doesn't kill us will only make us stronger.
Personally, I got kicked out of the house a few weeks after graduation, so I had no choice but to hit the ground running. Looking back, I probably couldn't do that to my kids even though it does build character.
Again, lean on our Heavenly Father for guidance, and all will be well.
