I don't know if my advice will be any good, but I can promise you practical, actionable suggestions. I believe that life is about making choices, mostly about how you will react to situations that confront you. Outcomes hinge on the amount of grace, common sense, and goodwill you bring to the table. Unless of course you're dealing with a total jerk, in which case I suggest you run, don't walk, to the nearest exit. Life is too short to suffer jerks willingly. Everything else is manageable if you keep your wits about you. Pretty much anyway. So ask away and see what happens.

There are 33 days of school left, and I have to either sign up for my 8th grade year to go to the same school... or the one I've been trying to go to all along. Let's call my current school A, and the other school, B.
I've heard from my brother's best friend's dad to always stay with my parokial education because it will get me a more successful future and job. But... I'm at the point where I either choose the school that's healthier for my relationships, or my future. Now, since one of my best friends transfered to B last year and I miss him so much I really want to go there. Plus I HATE 2 of the teachers at my current school, A.
I have my two best friends at the school, A. And I'd really miss them. But lately, I've been feeling so neglected by them. So I'm leaning towards B. Whenever I leave them to go get ready for class while I'm getting my books, they'll start talking with or about me. When I come back, they'll both be laughing hysterically -and it seems like fake laughing sometimes- and they won't stop until I come back. Then they both fake stone faces and I ask what was funny and they're like, "Oh, nothing."
Like recently at gym, they were talking and I went up to them and was like
"What's bothering you?" to Lindsay because she was acting upset. And she's like, "Oh nothing. You would just lecture me... so... " I never lecture her and she's always asking me for advice. Dunno what her problem is. I missed the dance last Friday, and she started talking about it and she looked at her arm and then my other friend Kristen said, "Hey yeah, she didn't want you to see what happened to her arm because she thought you'd make fun of it." And I'm like, what the heck? I would never do that! And she knows I'm not that type of person. And then right before class she told me she hates rich people. And I'm rich. So I'm totally leaning towards B... but then again, let's not get too far into my social life with this please.
Anyways,
I've been friends with one of them for almost a year and the other for NINE YEARS. I can't throw that away and it'd be hard to go to a parokial highschool after 8th grade in a public school.
Which school should I GO TO!?
A or B?
I'm so confused.
And someone I love goes there.
He's one of my BEST FRIENDS BUT I DON'T KNOW if he feels the same way!
I know I shouldn't transfer because of that but I have to take some risks in life if I ever want to get together with him.

I agree totally with Sabine -- pick the school that will give you the best education. It does matter where you go to high school and college, believe me. You will make friends at the new school and you'll still have your old friends if you make the effort to stay in touch. So better education, good friend already there, more friends overall -- this is an easy decision.

no it's not an easy decision. my heart is telling me one thing while my mind is telling me another. and you only go around once so i have to make the right decision. and it kinda does matter because some highschools will look better in your background for the college application for others.
