My daughter years ago was crying because she didnt get picked to go to the school all her friends went to,you see the school she was going to split into 3 seperate schools !! She was more upset It was hard seeing her like that as a mother I felt helpless ( and we really are) so I made a deal with her if she didnt like the school after half a year I would move her out of that school district,well i turned out she met the best friend of a life time and said thank you for keeping me at that school and letting me try it. Maybe your at that school to meet your friend of a life time,you never know. Let me know how it turns out for ya.

Are they footing the bill? If so there's nothing you can say or do. I went to a state school because my parents didn't want me to be too far away. If I went to a different school, I'd have to take out loans and pay on them for a very long time. I opted for mom and dad paying and going to the school they wanted me to go to. When I graduated I was better off than alot of people I knew. What's so bad about your school? If your homesick that's natural. I had friends from high school that went to the same college I did and I NEVER saw them. Give your school another try and really make an effort to find new friends.

Nothing. You are a kid. Your parents have REAL lives and are working to support you until you can do it yourself. It's best to just suck it up and make new friends while keeping in contact with your old friends. Hey, look on the bright side, at least you have the internet.

Thanks for all the advice, I know that my parents only want the best for me but I just feel like they don't understand my reasons for wanting to go to this other school. And I also know that my parents feel bad and it's hard for them that I'm not happy. I just feel like the people I hang out with aren't the same people I would be hanging out with at the other school. I don't mind my school now but I would still rather move.

I was in this situation. My first year of high school, I moved 30 miles away from my friends and I didn't know anyone. I was really unhappy there. Being an only child didn't help. Luckily, the family of one of my friends offered to let me live with them, and even though I was 14, my mom agreed and let me go. I was much happier, and 6 months later, my mom moved back too. Some of those guys I'm still friends with, and to this day I'm not sure my mom knows how much I appreciated that she let me go. Like I said, I was 14--how old you are definitely matters. The school I moved to had gang problems and wasn't as good academically, so I could point to those as reasons to move back. But without the family that let me stay with them, it would never have worked. In retrospect, I'm sure I would have been fine at the new school eventually, and I'm sure you'll be fine too if you stay. But what most parents forget is how much friends mean at your age. They are worth fighting for. That's what you want--but what your parents want is to know that you're safe and happy and loved, and most parents can't imagine a situation where you could get that away from home. If you think you can, it never hurts to have a plan and talk to them about it. They may say no, but at least you'll know you did everything you could. Good luck!
