Ask them this: "If you cannot teach me, and if nobody around here can, and
if it is important, and I have to learn it, where am I going to? If
qualified people can come to our home to teach me, fine, but if they cannot,
and the training is available, isn't it worth going the distance? If you
really want me to be independent, isn't this the way to go? If not, what
is?" Ask these questions calmly, and explain your needs and desires.

They won't let me because it is too far away from home for there liking.

They won't let you? What is their reasoning? This one problem of cutting
food is a prime example of why you should be allowed to attend such a
facility, especially if they, meaning your parents and or other family
members, nor friends, can adequately instruct and assist you in doing what
needs to be done.

I can not get help from a rehab teacher and I can not go to a blind school
because my mom and dad will not let me. I would love to go there though.

Why not? This is something they should provide, or, if need be, they can
send you to a rehab center, or you can go to one, to take classes on stuff
like this. Just a thought. Another thought is this: Did, or do, you
attend a school for the blind? Although they should teach these skills,
they unfortunately quite often do not.

Hi Jessica,
I know how hard it is, particularly as a teenager, to not be
worried about how things look. Your concern reminds me of a
story my husband tells. When he was in his late teens, his older
brother urged him to use a cane or dog. He was reluctant,
because it would make him look blind. As his brother said:
"well, you are blind, and people can see that." Once he thought
about it, he knew that was true.
I came in late on this thread, so you may have answered this.
Can you get any help from a rehab teacher? It's hard to have
family members teach you, at least it was for me.
One further thought. Given the state of the airline industry
right now, you won't have to worry about cutting food on a plane.
You never have to cut peanuts, assuming you even get those. Lol.
