I feel that I&#x27;m in a fairly related situation myself. A week ago I packed my backpack, and flew out to London to start a startup. Since my parents are not really supportive of me as I&#x27;m not &quot;studying or working&quot; in their opinion - I&#x27;m mostly on my own.<p>I&#x27;ve had some tough times recently, especially in the past week. But every time, I just look ahead and see what I can make, what I can build, what I want to achieve. It is _very_ difficult to get anything done if you don&#x27;t have a clear vision of your future. It&#x27;s _very_ important to avoid discouraging teenagers and young adults from going on their own path.
