Dependency Questions There are a total of 13 questions that the FAFSA® form asks to determine your dependency. Answering “no” to all of the dependency questions on the FAFSA® form means that you are considered a dependent student. If you answer “yes” to even one of the questions, you will be considered an independent student. Make sure you answer these questions honestly to ensure that your FAFSA® is processed properly. Keep in mind that the questions may change slightly from year to year. For example, the year for the birth date question changes each year. The questions you will need to answer for the 2020-21 FAFSA® form are: Will you be at least 24 years old on December 31st of the academic year for which you are applying for aid?

Are you currently serving on active duty in the U.S. armed forces for purposes other than training? Are you a veteran of the U.S. armed forces? Do you now have, or will you have, children who will receive more than half of their support from you during the school year for which you are applying for aid? Do you have dependents other than your children or spouse who live with you and who receive more than half of their support from you, now and through June 30, 2020? Are both of your parents deceased, with one of your parents passing after you turned 13? Were you in Foster Care or declared a ward of the court at any time since turning 13? Has it been determined by a court in your state of legal residence that you are an emancipated minor or that someone other than your parent or stepparent has legal guardianship of you? At any time on or after July 1, 2016, were you determined to be an unaccompanied youth who was homeless or were self-supporting and at risk of being homeless, as determined by your high school or district homeless liaison, the director of an emergency shelter or transitional housing program funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, or the director of a runaway or homeless youth basic center or transitional living program? Determining whether you are a dependent student or independent student is an important part of filing FAFSA® and getting your financial aid. These questions allow the financial aid department to classify you properly and ensure that you get the right funding for your education.
but let her know that it should not displace her sense of responsibility for herself.
Remind her to know and set her boundaries, both physical and emotional. If he does not respect those boundaries, he is telling her why he is here. Take the hint.
Where to place those boundaries? She is in control of that.

女儿今年ED 进了 Sanford 本来全家为她高兴 然后在圣诞节度假时发现她有男朋友了
我发现后问她她承认了说是同学在二周前 Ask her，男同学申请Chicago university 被 deferred.
我当时吓了一跳 没有思想准备,二个人天天打视频 ，回来后女儿生日还要和男孩外出吃饭祝贺。我和老公找她谈话告诉她我们不赞成现在谈恋爱 而且这男孩大多数会在本卅读大学 两个人太小而且不现实， 让她冷静一下，但是女儿不愿意放弃说男孩是个好孩子 而且二人同学三年了解为人，以后如果不行再说。我这个心整天掉着，一方面还没有准备好女儿有男朋友事 而且担心二人会不会发展深做些什么事而影响学业。昨晚自己很难过，不知道现在该怎么做 怎样面对。 这几天我都不和女儿正面说话了 大家帮我分析分析吧 多谢。
我求我儿子找个女朋友耍耍都不乐意，说要到大学找。：）
你只需要看紧得不要让他们有机会做出格的事就行了。你女儿这情况夏天以后肯定结束
把自己最担心的事情直接和孩子谈一下，希望她能保护好自己。同时，也让自己放弃自己的女儿是个一男之女期望，一辈子只跟一个男人然后白头到老不现实了
只能盼望孩子在每段RELATIONSHIP里都爱护自己尊重对方，能成熟长大，最后知道什么是自己最需要的，什么是对自己最合适的，有个美满的婚姻。
除非对方是大富大贵的家庭，你想早婚早育套牢对方。看似不是。
这个年纪谈恋爱多美好啊。远距离谈恋爱不容易。大概率是不会最终结婚的。但是，重要的是过程。学会成长。妈妈不要想太多了。女儿已经成年了。
告诉女儿不要进展太快，按照自己的心意，如果彼此有好感继续交往就继续，看到很多长距离的几年了都好好的。
谁也不想这么早就怀孕。但是万一呢？你可能想不到的是联邦政府是鼓励高中/大学生怀孕生孩子的! 如果怀孕了，女生就算作经济独立人（父母的收入资产都无关了），基本上就能有资格获得大学全资助。如果不打掉生下来，就是孩子母亲和父亲的身份，两人都算作经济独立人，两人都有资格获得大学全资助。单对女方来说，8万X4=32万美刀的好处。父母省下的钱可以在湾区啥地买房首付了耶（150万房价）。 大学毕业后，小孩3岁了，还有自己的房子。父母还捡了个孙子/女，反正也差不多退休的年龄了，抱个孙子女养着也充实点。多好的deal。如果男方是小白，孩子还是混血的耶。
告诉女儿要保护好自己。
恭喜女儿大牛蛙！能分享一下女儿的特长就更好了，不然给我发信也行
大学之前交往。应该在父母的监督下。美国人很现实，大学两地没几个月就会散伙了。
谢谢大家意见 我们家都没在大学毕业之前谈恋爱，当听到这事真是吓到了 而且还担心她是个女孩子 正处在学业之中， 但是我们和她谈她好像还坚持自己意见，可能还在热恋中, 大家说得对 周末和她心平气和谈一下。

再补充一下女儿是申请了 engineer major 希望对大家有帮助
是有这个原因 我是有点自私
一对高中谈的恋爱，考大学时去了两个不同的学校，我们以为一上大学可能就要分了，结果到现在还好好的。
还有一对，女孩高男孩一级，女孩进大学了我们以为长距离长不了，结果要么女孩周末回家看男友要么男友开车几个小时去看女孩，去年男孩选择去了另一所私校，我们以为又要经受考验了，结果这一对还是好好的
另外也耽误在斯坦福找男朋友
不过你也阻拦不了的，真到婚姻那一步，那是缘分，没到那一步，也是很好的经历
还有为了男（女）朋友甘愿（或者转学）去2，3流学校的，你不是要撞墙？
让她自己处理吧。
不接触不了解不谈恋爱不比较，等真正优秀的男孩出现的时候很容易错失良机；
交朋友也是了解自己的方法之一。了解自己才知道自己喜欢什么样的人喜欢和什么样的人生活。
太遗憾了
进了stanford没几天就完了。其他不用说，越说越来劲，这年纪都认为自己是大人。
否则碰上了也不知怎么搞定优秀的男孩，这样的例子身边有，好人家的淑女看上的好男孩都被条件一般但会来事的女孩抢走了
本来说好今年夏天毕业了让她和几个好朋友去旅行，现在我担心会不会这个男孩也会一起去 这样的话我要想一想。
大家会怎么做呢
如果我不喜欢这个男生，会和女儿说明，但是如果她还是喜欢，我会顺其自然。
首先，该去旅行当然要去，男孩如果要去其他同伴也同意的话未尝不可。
其次，母女充分有效的交流会把事态往好的方面发展。她毕竟年龄小阅人少，需要父母的智慧和信任！
喜欢他什么？喜欢得对应该肯定，眼光不错嘛 ：）
不喜欢他什么？肯定开始什么都喜欢，慢慢套瓷肯定会有犹豫的地方，然后提醒女儿继续观察缺点。
等等等等，反正你得处在给你女儿出招儿的位置，而不是不说话呀。你不说就都让男孩儿说了：）
Make sure she can talk with you about it.
Then you have a chance, to hint to her your concerns.
这正是一个机会考察考察
偷偷乐就好了。 如果你的学校排名不如Stanford, 孩子现在已经比你那时候强了，所以你没有qualification 来指导她了啊
1）注意观察细节，远离有不良习性的人。如吸毒，酗酒，吸烟，暴力倾向等。
2）用正能量互相影响，互相帮助。尽量不影响学习。
3）注意安全措施。
俺的三个娃都在高中恋爱，俺都是用这个态度处理的，效果还不错。当时她/他们都很惊讶（因为她/他们预期俺会极力反对）。俺解释恋爱是接触社会的第一步，高中阶段很适合。次外俺也是差不多 岁数开始地。一下就缩短了距离，让她/他们认为俺跟她/他们是一伙地...
个人认为高中时期的娃较为逆反和情绪化，唯有让他/她认为父母全力支持的情况下，才可能减少其戒心，进而使其最大可能地真心接受你的建议。 此外初恋时容易头脑发热，只有在没有外界压力下，娃才容易认真体验和观察，一旦遇到问题才愿意回头与父母商量。
高中恋人很少能够过得了大学两地的这一关，万一能坚持下来，说明双方感情稳固，与缘分到位。对双方及父母都是幸事。
至于外出旅行应当是非常好的事，尤其是在有其他朋友的陪同下。有话说约会三年不如出行一次。约会时双方容易展现自己的最好的一面，外出旅行才是全面深入了解细节的机会，尤其是双方生活和性格的缺点。
恭喜你娃进入Stanford。预祝她学业感情都顺利！！！
