High school
I know that it's a while away, but it's already starting to worry me. I asked my parents where they wanted me to go to high school and they told me about this private school. And since I already go to one, I really wanted to go to a public high school. So it made me mad. I don't know how to convince them. And they said that the place I wanted to go wasn't their first choice out of the public high schools. None of my friends will go to the private school, most of them will go to the one I want to go to. And there's tons more reasons. How do I convince them? It's a big issue and we argue about it every day. Can anybody help?

Tell them its important to you that you have your good friends with you, and be calm about it, don't shout or yell, just explain to them how important this is to you, and even if you don't end up going to a public school, just try to think of it as a good concentration to keep your grades up, and you'll still make good friends probably.

i had the same problem. private school really sucked, and i made sure to tell them that everyday. now the best way to get of going to private high school is to let your parents have a say in what public high school you will go to. it might not be the one you want but at least it wont be private school. or you could always let your grades slip to the point where the private school wont accept you if they require a certain GPA which most do. you could also divide and conquer, which ever parent is usualy nicer and more lenient, talk to them alone.

Well since you're not asking advice as to which type of school you should go to, I won't give my opinion on that. As to convincing your parents, well unless you've got a scholarship waiting, or a good paying job, chances are you're going to need them to pay for college. So stop acting like a spoiled kid and do as your folks say.

Public Schools will help develop more social skills that those you would've developed at a public high school because ur arouind many more other types of ppl. ( i.e., gangsta .. hehe) It won't get u used to the high life. Also, your parents wouldn't have to pay so much money for nearly the same type of education.

whenever i want something from my parents that isn't bad i just remind them of everything good that i do. Remind them of everything that you have done like your good grades. your an athlete. things along those lines.. things that show that you are responsible and they will have no reason to at least let you try it out.
