alli i really need your help.. my dad got a job in alaska, which means.. i have to move there.. well i have lived in the woodlands my HOLE life, and i cant imagine life anywhere else.. all my friends are here... i have made a commentment to my cheerleading team.. i love the school im at.. and my parents just expect me to pack up and go..? my dad really wants this job though, and i want him to be happy.. but if i move there... i know im going to rebel, get myself into trouble,not socialize, and just be miserable and a pain in the ass. but the thing is, is my best friend... i already like live at her house.. and i love her parents.. so i was thinking about me finishing out my high school years here, like living with her,(my best frined..she has 3 extra bed rooms..and her parents love having extra people around.. so its not like they dont have room.. they do).. i mean i will only have 3 more years left.. and then i will be off to college.. and i understand it would be hard for my parents to just leave me.. but i am just not moving..i cant.. i would be leaving my sister and brother behind becasue they are both in college here.. even though my dad has talked to my sister about switching colleges.. (which is NOT right) but i just cant leave here.. most people who havent lived here their hole lives dont like it.. but i have lived here since i was 1.. so this is all i know.. and i love it here.. yea there are some ups and downs.. but every place has its downs.. well i guess what im trying to say is *how do you think i could convince my parents to let me just stay here and live with my best frined*.. like i will be turning 16 in july.. so that means i will be getting a job.. and this could teach me to be responsible. also, during like easter and christmas and other like 3day(or longer) weekends.. i would go up there to be with them.. and i am the baby of the family.. so i understand it would be hard.. but you would think if they really wanted me to be happy.. they would just let me stay.. but when i brought it up to my mom.. she got her feelings hurt and was like .."that really hurts that you could just be able to leave your parents.." or something like that.. like yea it would be hard.. but i mean my education is going well here.. and she was also like "i want you to learn OUR values and OUR morals.." but its NOT like the family i would be with runs a whore house or anytihng.. like they are very responsible parents and they love me like their own.. but my dad seemed like i MIGHT be able to do that(live with my best friend i mean).. but you know how it goes.. the MOM always has the final word.. so i really need your help al.. i cant say who i am because if my dad doesnt want me to tell anyone.. i just dont know what to do or say.. everytime my dad brings it up or sometihng i just burst into tears.. and my dad knows i dont want to.. but he really wants this job.. so please help me al.. i just dont know what to do anymore.. sorry this is so long..
