Question Posted Sunday November 6 2005, 12:51 pm

I'm thinking of going to a new school next year. I don't want to leave my friends. This new school has more opportunities for me, though. I can't decide. Please help!!!

leaving a new school is tough, especially when you think about leaving your friends. you should go to the better school and get a good education. you will be able to phone, write and hang out with your friends later on.

i personally had to make this descision just a year ago. i could go to a better school where i didn't know anyone, or go to a worse school with my friends. i decided to go to the better school, and already i have A LOT of friends. and i'm a very shy person! i'm very happy with my descision, and i think if you go to the better school, you'll be happy too.

Most definately go to school, you'll appreciate it in the long run and if your friends really love you you won't lose touch. Plus you'll make new friends. Go for it, don't hesitate! Good luck :)

LibbyLou answered Sunday November 6 2005, 4:58 pm:
wut i do is i think of the positives and negatives for each choice. so like a positive for the new school is more opportunities and a negative for the new school is leaving your frends. Ask yourself ?s like "if i go 2 the new school will i still get 2 hang out w/ my old friends sumtimes" I guess wut it comes down to is wut is more important: Hanging out w/ ur frends, or academic opportunities.

If you do decide to go to this new school, that doesn't mean you still can't keep in touch with your friends. If this school has more opportunities, then you should go and you'll still have your old friends while making new ones at the same time.

Hey,
This is what i would do if i where you:
you need to make two different lists..on one of them you will write all of the pro's and cons of going to a different school..and on the other write all of the pros and cons of staying at your current school.
When you finish it should be pretty clear which is the better choice.
pce :)

MrsStevenMarkJones answered Sunday November 6 2005, 4:00 pm:
my thoughts are simply this. if you go to hte new school...will you be living in teh same town. if the answer is yes then go for it. your freinds will still live in the same town as you do...so its not like moving. if after a year you dont like it, you can return to your old school. but if you are wanting to go, but not sure...take my advice. go. take the opportunity. i didnt when i had a chance like that and i regret it. if you dont like it you can always go back. good luck

Go to the new school, but keep in touch with your old friends. If they don't make an effort to keep in touch, which -does- happen sometimes, then they aren't really worth it. You would have lost touch when you went off to college, anyway.

SurfGirl18 answered Sunday November 6 2005, 3:22 pm:
That is always a hard decision. But just think you will make new friends just like your others. You could always keep intouch by Aim or phone or even letters. Like you said this school has new opportunities for you go for it. Take the adventure. When you go on to collage and highschool. You will have to leave some of your freinds. then you will now what to do becuse you went trought it. Life is all about adventures. This is my advice:)

If you really want to go to that school go. But if you are scared that your friends will forget you just keep in touch with them.

jilly77 answered Sunday November 6 2005, 2:38 pm:
The exact same thing happened to me, except I didnt have a choice. I really think you should take this opportunity to do better by switching schools. You'll always have your friends from your other school. And its not like your moving to Antarctica! You'll still be able to hang out with them on weekends, and talk to them on the phone. And i guarentee that you'll make loads more friends at your new school, that is if you decide to transfer! But remember that this is just advice, I'm not telling youu what to do, just what I think you should do! Alright well I really hope I helped out! Tell me how it goes! xox

BeFABULOUSxo answered Sunday November 6 2005, 2:15 pm:
I was in the exact same position as you. The exact same. Here's how I thought of it: If you and your friends were really meant to stay friends, then you will. Plus, you're going to meet SO many new people. I'm a pretty outgoing person so I would just walk up to people saying, "Hi I'm Ali, what's your name?" People wont look at you funny because they are all in the same position and are in no position to pass up friends. Hope I helped!

thinkpink03 answered Sunday November 6 2005, 2:08 pm:
you just have to decide which one is more important to you. the school with the opportunities or the school with your friends. im not going to lean on one side or the other, but i will just say good and bad points for both sides. for the school with oppotunities : the good is that you will have a lot of chances to do whatever you wanted to do and also you will make lots of new friends. the bad is that you will be leaving youre really good friends behind. for the school with friends: the good is that you can stay with your friends and continue a really good friendship, but the bad is that you will miss out on whatever you wanted to do. so basically its up to you, just weigh out your options and choose the best situation for you.

hope i helped [♥] X0X0

I know transfering to a new school is hard. If you think that this is the best thing for you then you should go. But if you feel that you can live without going then you shouldnt go. Do what think you should do. Transfering is about you and what you want. A new school can sometimes seem scary but you know you will make new friends and just because you will be at a new school doesnt mean you have to leave your old friends. You can always hang out with them afetr school. If your not sure then just think about what you want and not what someone else wants. Its your life you make your own decisions.

brunettecutie answered Sunday November 6 2005, 1:33 pm:
this sounds very familiar. i am going through the same thing. i am going to a school thats a private school and its ok and everything, but there is this other school that i really wanan go to that has so much more opportunities for me. but 1 problem, i dont wanna leave my friends either.
just think of it like this, if you do decide to change schools, your friends will always be your friends, you can always keep in touch with them. maybe call the people you havent talked to just to say "hey wanna hang out this weekend?" or sopmething like that. but if you do decide to stay, you could get involved in other activities you might like, maybe out of your school or in your school. but just remember, your friends will always be your friends and you can always call them, thats how i usualy think of it.

* --> do you go to a catholic school or a public school?.. maybe you could let me know or something <-- *

hope i helped!

Yeah, that can be hard but just because you go to a new school doesn't meant that you can't still see your old friends. If the new school is better for you then give it a shot.

hii ... its okay if you feel obligated at certain times in your life .. like you wannt to have more oppertunities to open in your life starting w. this new school but at the same time you dont want to leave your friends behind. well first think of what would help you more in the future staying w. you friends? or opening up to more and better opportunities? your friends will understand if they are truely your friends and telling them you are going to a new school will tell you whether or not they are true friends by understanding and letting you go ... Of course you can still be good friends with your old ones and Of course you will make alot of new friends in your new school so dont be scared or feel obligated i would say go ffor it ! take this opportunity while its still available & qood luck ! =]
