i don't want to lose my bff
Since I am in 8th grade, I have recently been thinking about high school and where I will be going, what courses I will be taking, etc. Right now I have a transfer to a school other than the one I am supposed to attend because I am a 'gifted' student and the school I was required to attend before I received my transfer did not have courses that would challenge me academically. While attending this school, I have made many friends of different levels of intellegence. One of my best friends is someone I never would've met if I hadn't attended this new school. She is a major part of my life and I don't want to lose her. She has helped me through some of the roughest times in my life thus far. Lately, we've been arguing and not getting along very well, but we still manage to stay friends. I really don't want to lose her. Right now, I get to see her quite frequently because we are at the same school, but next year, I'm afraid I won't be able to have this oppurtunity. She will be going to SHS and I will most likely have to go to LHS. I can most likely get another transfer, but this would majorly upset my dad because almost our entire family for the past four generations has gone to LHS. I was tlaking to my mom about it and she said my dad was really upset. Now I don't want my dad to be upset if I go to SHS but I don't want to lose my friend if I go to LHS. The only time I would be able to see her would be on weekends and at church events. She's been here for me for the past 2 years and I'm really sick of having to lose my best friend every couple of years. The people I would be attending school with at LHS are people I was friends with K-3rd grade, but I haven't seen them in almost 6 years and that is a really long time. I don't even know if they'd recognize me. I'm really lost and I just don't know what to do. I would really appreciate each and every one of your opinions and I will rate high even if you attempt to help me. Thank-you in advance! ~Brit

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
I think that you should go and be with your friend. I can understand your Dad's point of view, definitely, but I think that this is your future and you've got to do what's best for you. If you don't, then you might find it hard to settle down in LHS and that might affect your studies.
Talk to your Dad and explain your situation. Be totally civil and polite and don't lose your rag.
If all else fails and you end up going to LHS, try not to be too down. You'll still see your friend sometimes and make new friends. I'm sure that there will be other people there who will be in your position.
Good luck!

OK, you may not lose your best friend if you go to another school. I mean, if you're really close it should all work out. And you guys will still be able to see each other... im sorry i dont know how to help anymore... try tellin ur parents u REALLY wanna go to dat 1 skool

If you dont want to upset your dad you should explain to him how much this friend means to you. If he still doesnt understand then go to the school you prefer. If he doesnt get over it then talk to him and ask why going to LHS is so important to him. Maybe you'll be able to compromise, as in you go to LHS, and he has to let you see your friend every weekend no matter what, or something like that. Hope I helped!
Good Luck!

Phone calls can keep a friendship pretty well, but you will lose the easier, more casual part of it that comes from having similar experiences.
Which HS, academically, is better for you, or is there really a difference? If one is better, that's probably the better choice. Usually parents aren't as heavily into the HS as they are into college, so it shouldn't break your parents' hearts if you did go somewhere else. And if it does, then they're petty, selfish people anyway :x

This is one of those questions that you have a few options to. So here it goes.
1. Tell your family it would mean alot to transfer to her school. However, you have to think about if you WOULD remain friends even if you transferred.
2. Go to the school you were planning on going to (without her). Sometimes friends become enemies if they spend too much time together (believe me, its possible). A couple of phone calls, some hanging out on the weekend and some church events seem like enough to remain friends.
