I did it again.  That's me!  Alexandria
OP, have you consecrated yourself to Our Lady yet?  If not, get the True Devotion book and do it.  
Stay as close as you can to Our Lady and beg Her to protect your purity.  You do your part too by practicing custody of the eyes.    If some female scantily clad happens to catch you unawares, do not, at any cost, look back.
I will keep you in my prayers, young man.  God be with you every step of the way, and may Our Blessed Mother protect you.
OP here. Thanks very much for the prayers and advice! I've said a short consecration prayer to Our Lady before, but I really do want to do the 33 day consecration. I currently don't have True Devotion, but I'll likely get sometime next month.

OP, if you get to teach in a secondary school it will be a nest of vipers.
Is this your choice to teach?

If you are under your parents' authority you are bound to obey them. Once you no longer are under their authority, you can ask for their advice but are not bound to take it. Always you must respect them.

So attempt to prepare for independence asap, follow the wisdom of Stubborn and Alexandria and you cannot go wrong.

God will bless you!
OP here. Thank you for the sound advice. It was my choice initially, but that was when I under pressure to pick a major and was just getting back into the faith. I realize now this wasn't a good move. I'm in the education program for 2 years as a part of a scholarship. Parents won't let me back out. 
I'm definitely following the guidance of Stubborn and Alexandria. Just reading what they've written has been a great consolation to me. 
God bless you too!

OP here. Thanks so much!  I started wearing my scapular daily back in the summer, glad I've done so. I'll do what you said and keep you all updated.
Did you just start wearing one or have you been enrolled in the scapular?

How are you being forced? You have freewill.

Have you read St. Thomas Aquinas's story? His aristocratic mother wanted him to become a political leader, but St. Thomas wanted to become a Dominican. To try to dissuade him, his brothers locked him in a tower for a year, even hiring a prostitute to tempt him, whom he drove out with a fiery brand.

His Summa question on whether one needs his parents' permission to enter religious life (Summa Theologica II-II q. 189 a. 6) can be applied to your situation, too.
OP here. I've heard of his story. This clears a lot of things up, thanks!
