Boarding School Crisis!
Hey! First of all, I just wanted to say that you give great advice, I've been reading your advice column for a while & you're so nice! Anyways, I've recently come across this school called Lake Forest Academy and it's a boarding school, but it's a really nice one & it'll help me exceed in areas like English, which I'm good at. It also provides really good sports, & it's pretty much my dream school! But my parents said there's no reason to go to boarding school. I mean, I gave them really good reasons to let me go; like it's a better education than I'm getting now, it's a chance to start over in school & make new friends, & it will help prepare me for college & all that. But my parents said that it's still pointless & that I come up with stupid ideas in my head that wont come true. I really want to go, and we have the money, but they keep complaining that it's a waist of $14,000. My mom always says that she doesn't trust someone else trying to take care of me and that I can't take care of myself, but I'm capable of taking care of myself in the dorms & at school since I'm almost 16 and going into 11th grade next year and I'm mature. I need help on trying to convince my parents that boarding school is for me, but how do I do that?
Sincerely,
bummed-out.

First off thanks so much for saying all that nice stuff your so sweet!Well this is a little hard.You seem to know what you want and you shouldn't let anyone stop you.I mean you seem totally mature and everything.Just sit down with you parents and tell them that you really want this also tell them everything you told me. Start being extra mature even though you are already.Let them know you will do anything to go to boarding school.After you sit them down a few times with you I'm sure they will relize you want this badly.If anything else just ask.♥
