Need advice about changing schools and drama
I am thinking about changing schools, but my friends are making me feel bad about it, even though this new school is better for me than the one I am going to now.

Hey! Don't worry! Changing schools and leaving your friends is a tough choice. One hand you are going to a school that will benefit you in the future. On the other, your leaving all your closest friends. Actually, I have a friend named Bella, and she is going through the same thing. She is a great singer, actress, and artist. And she wants to go to a performing arts school, and grow up to be an actress. Now, your not the same as Bella, but I will tell you what I told her. I said:
"We have been such good friends. And I may disagree with your philosophy sometimes, but I respect you and what you do. You'll get a lot of chances to go to amazing schools. But you only have one hometown school."
This probably didn't help you much. But in my opinion, never leave your friends behind.
I hope you choose what you think is right. Don't listen to my opinion. Follow your heart(and yes, I said that. It sounds stupid but just do it.)
Best of wishes

This is very vague. If changing schools is what YOU want, you should do it. If you think it will help you in the long run do it. If these people are your "friends" they will stick by you no matter what. I am sure they will just be lonely and miss you but it is an adjustment. You need to make the best decision for yourself. Remind them that you are doing this for yourself and your not going anywhere. You might not seem them everyday but it doesn't change the friendship you have and you will still make effort and time to see them.

You have to what is best for you. You get only one chance at a good FREE EDUCATION, assuming we are discussing high school. If this new school will prepare you better to get into a better college that is better for you.
I understand about peer pressure and how you may feel about not being in the school with them. Understand this; the friends you have today will most likely not be your friends after you all leave for college, the military or where ever life takes us after high school.
I left high school 51 years ago. I've stayed in touch with one or two friends from that time but have not seen any of my friends since returning from the military. We have all gone off in separate direction living in different parts of the country and even the world. The same will happen to you even if you return to your home town after college. WE marry we find jobs and we go where the work takes us.
What I'm trying to say is you have to do what is best for you. Your friends could be making you feel bad because they do not have the same opportunity and are jealous a very possible reason. And yes part of it could be they will miss having you around.
If this school will offer you better classes, better teachers then you will have the opportunity to get into better colleges. Employers look at the schools you attend especially that first employer out of college. This opportunity is the first step in making a good life for yourself and your future family.
My advice is to grab the opportunity and change schools.
