well im 15/f and i think i want to go to a away from home (boarding)school next year. i have many reasons for this one being i just dont really like to be at my house anymore (family issues) another being i dont really like my school&most of the people. i am friends with alot of people but i just want to get out of here, well for a while anyway.
i have to ask how can i apporach my mother or father about this?
if i didnt like it at any point would i be able to return to my school? or do parents pay at the beginning?
are they eally strict? like are there really early curfews and stuff?

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
I'm sorry to say that I've never been in your situation. But I think I can help. First- ask yourself if you really want to move away from your family and friends? Will you miss them while you're away? Will you meet more people at a Boarding School or not? Will you be able to afford it? If you're uncomfortable about asking your parents this, then it's most likely they will say no. That's why you're afraid to approach them. Once you made a final desision, why don't you google it? Search for a boarding school near you, and check it out to find the price and such. Hope it works out!

Sometimes I feel the same way, just wanting to get out of the house for a bit, & enjoy the real world.
your parents should understand that you are now old enough to start to do your own choices, and take responsiblities.
there isn't really a curfew to when you should be back home after a while that you were gone.
but your parents should respect your choice and continue to go on with your life.
anyways, I hope I helped :]
Good Luck!

you can approach your parents by just telling them how you feel. you feel like there is nothing really to offer you where you are now, and you would be happier at boarding school. hopefully they will support you in your decision. if they do, you and your parents can go check out the school first to see what its like. payment depends on the school individually. (every school is different) and same goes with leaving and rules. they will tell you everything when you go to visit.

I'm really sorry, but you're talking to the wrong person. I don't know a lot about boarding schools, but I will try to help anyway.
If you really want to go to boarding school, tell your parents about "another being i dont really like my school&most of the people. i am friends with alot of people but i just want to get out of here, well for a while anyway."
Are they really strict? Probably. Since the students live at the school, they'd have to set tighter rules because they need some kind of order. They can't let kids run wild. Depending on the boarding school, some will be tighter or looser, but the following are universal rules:
They will have to control exactly what time you go to bed.
There will be almost always be someone doing a nightly midnight check to make sure nobody's sneakin' off to the opposite sex's dorm room to do..."naughty" things.
There will be a room check every week to make sure that your room isn't a mess.
Are there really early curfews? I'm assuming yes. Since most schools begin at around 8:30-9:00, the school would probably have you get up at around 6:00-7:00 so you can get dressed, brush your teeth, eat breakfast, etc.
I'm sorry if this wasn't helpful to you.

I don't know a whole lot about boarding schools.
I imagine though they would be pretty strict.
If they weren't I don't think many parents would send their kids.
I think most you have to pay for before you go. You could probably get a partial refund though if things didn't work out. Returning to your regular school probably wouldn't be a problem.
You might want to go online and do some researching of the costs and all that good stuff before approaching your parents. The more info you can give them the better luck you are going to have.
Type in something like Boarding schools + your state. Or whatever state you were thinking of. :)

well, I don't know anything about boarding school besides that it's expensive. a lot of schools sound stricter than they really are...that's what i've found for the most part. maybe you could try going somewhere as a foreign exchange student for a year and see if you like that. I might try that nextyear because I also have issues. good luck, lemme know if you need anything! <3
