I'm so confused
Ok, I have the opportunity to go to this really good highschool, where you can have 2 years of college finished when you graduate and it looks better on your college application and everything.The problem is,I know some people that go there and they said that htey were straight A students, and when they got there they started making C's and D's, and that it was ALOT of stress and they never get to do anything anymore.Everybody keeps telling me to go, that I can handle it, but I don't really want to, and I'm scared to. At my school now, everything is going good, and there's a guy that I really like, and I would never get to see him again if I went to that other school. I just have no idea what to do. I don't want to give up a great opportunity, but I don't want to go either. I have alrady prayed about it, but I'm still confused. Please help! And please, no rude answers, I'm stressed enough as it is. Thanks! I'll rate!
P.S. Sorry so long!!

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
I would so not go to that school it sounds boring. i'm sorry but if you want to then you go but i wouldn't. i would pick the guy. who knows you could end up marring him.

It’s definitely a tricky thing. If you are prepared to do the work and you know your work ethics pretty well then I'd say you should really strongly consider taking this opportunity. I wouldn’t pass it up for a guy (its high school after all, there will be plenty of those). If you are not 100% comfortable with going or you don’t think you are up for the challenge then stay at your school and continue to do really well. I know this doesn’t answer much, but good luck.

Hey,
I went through the exact same thing. I go to a school where you are so pressured to get A's that in the end you just stop caring. You get so damn stressed and it's really not good. I can honestly say that pretty much everyone in my school regrets choosing to go there.
You can still get A's and really good grades going to any other school if you work hard, and it'll be way more rewarding for you personally to go somewhere else and be one of the only ones to get A's than to go somewhere where if you don't, you feel bad.
I would have said go for it if you hadn't said that people's grades go down because of the stress. You don't need that. As long as you work hard, you'll be fine wherever you are!!
Is there any way you can apply to that school's college AFTER you finish at normal school? That way you get the best of both worlds.
Make a list of advantages and disadvantages for both as well, if may help you get things into perspective!
Blessed Be,

You might still see him again, just not at school.
It is harder and more stressful, but hey if you are wanting to be a nurse or doctor or other profession that requires 8 years of school, what a save of time and money! College courses required a huge adjustment in studying for me. It was a shocker to find that my usual "studying my butt off" only got me a C. But I recovered and graduated with a good average. Guys are always around, opportunities have to be taken advantage of immediately. You will make friends.
You can still have a "social life." It will be smaller. But that's where time management skills come in. And believe me you need those forever.

well i can`t tell you what to do but i can tell you what to think about. positives:great oppurtunities, earlier college graduation, scholarships, great jobs, wealthy and hopeful future. negatives:big challenges, not much time for a social life, losing the guy you like, growing away from your friends. if you really are hoping for a very bright future, i think you should go. and if you could take the challenges, i think you should go. think about the possibilities you could encounter! but high school is one of the best times of your life and you really shouldn`t have to miss out on it. there will be other guys, i promise. you need to continue to pray about it. don`t do all the talking, listen for God`s voice. keep an open mind and don`t rush your decision. i hope you make the right one!

But rude is more fun...ok well that’s hard. It all depends how much you are going to be willing to study. A lot of people who get A's don't need to study much because it comes easily. Since this school is so much harder you will need to put in a lot more hours on the books. Your social life will most likely be a thing of the past and you can just forget about this guy. I guess that’s all the negative. The positive is that it's better on a college app. If you’re willing to put in the hours now and have a better future then go for it. Basically make a list of pro's and con's. Or just do what your heart tells you. If you really don't want to don't but make sure you won't regret it later.

Well, you have a few options...
A) go and do your best, if you start to decline in grades, change back
B) go and saty do your best no matter what happens
C) stay where you are at end enjoy being a teen. (I mean...who said that going to high school WASN'T the BEST time of their lives?)
If you truely are stressed, don't go. This could put more stress on you, most people don't do well under pressure and tend to not enjoy life where they're at. I'd say option ¡C! Hope I helped!

This is a really sticky situation.. I've moved 8 times in my life and gone to 7 schools. I know what it feels like to change schools a lot. Maybe you should write the pros and cons of each school down. Decide what matters more. A good job and good school but with a lot of stress, or your friends and crush in a regular school with AP classes? I had the chance to go to a specialty school in middle school but didn't take it cuz i wanted to be with my friends. Goo dluck!
