In 6 months I graduate from high school. I have to move out of my house or I'll go nuts. But I'm afraid to drive. I have my permit and I've done driver's ed, but now if my mom offers to let me drive I say no. I just need a few more hours driving experience and I can get my licence. My mom hit a dog a little while ago and my good friend was killed in a driving accident. I don't know what to do. I mean, I hit a squirrel that was already dead and I almost started to cry! I know that if I want to live on my own I have to learn to drive. Help.

I hate driving also. I was forced to drive so I could get my permit. But I haven't drove since around June or July. I cannot drive, and I have basically lost all my skills. Everytime I get in the car, I have to be reminded which is the gas and which is the brake. I just cannot ever remember.

You don't have to know how to drive. You can walk, cycle or take public trasport. Loads of adults don't drive and they get along fine.
If you still want to drive, you have to try to get rid of this fear. See someone (councillor, etc.), or, you can try meditation, there are books to help you with that.
Also, whenever you drive, try to think happy thoughts. I know that sounds really corny, but hey it might work.
