About why_did_you
Hey all, I'm 16 (wow does it feel weird writing that!) and I feel I can help people if they need advice, especially in the mental health areas since I've had some experience in matters such as that. Don't be afraid to ask! I will try my best to help you.
I live in the UK- England to be more precise. I love shopping, swimming- anything that is fun really. I am a bubbly person (nominated most bubbly on the year book!) although I can also be quite. I'm generally caring and kind- not to sound bigheaded!
Anyway I think thats enough information,
Take care all xxx

I get really good grades in school and stuff.. but lately "my attitude has changed" acording to my mom ... i've made lots of new friends this year becuz of being invloved in stuff.. sooo my mom thinks theyre putting a bad influence on me.. but they are totally not! theyre great friends and good people as well... my mom wants to switch my schools, it's not official but she wants to change me to an all GIRLS school.. i do not want to go... how do i change her mind???
thx,
my skools great.. but my mom thinks otherwise
You need to really try to find out WHY she thinks this. Ask her what changes she's noticed or what it is about the school that she doesn't like.
Maybe you've become more involved in boys- you can explain- though she probs knows and just may need to hear it- that this is a natural part of life and doesn't mean you are any less bothered about your grades and work. Likewise you need to tell her tha just because you've got new friends that you are still working hard.
Indicate your grades to back this up. You need to find out what the evidence is for your Mum's opinion. Maybe she just feels uncomfortable since you're going out more?
Tell her that you love her and enforce that you are happy at your school.
You could ask her to speak to a teacher about her concerns- it could put her off. Even if she does chose to do so since you are still doing well the chances are it could help you.
You just really need to talk to her and find out what she is thinking. Then tell her your own thoughts.
I hope this has helped some. Take care xxx
