It's going to be so interesting and you'll come back with a ton of stories to share. I went to China this summer and I absolutely loved it. It's an experience that I will never forget. I think you should go because there's a lot more in this world than America. It would be something to look forward to.
But if you absolutely dread the thought of going I would just explain your reasoning behind it to your parents. Opt to stay with a friend if that's possible. You could say that you don't want to be behind in school and that you want to make sure that you don't lose points. But in all honestly, they can make you go. And it's between you and your parents.
MelLeDisko answered Wednesday August 30 2006, 7:41 pm: well the thing i want to ask is: why WOULD you want to get out of africa? it's probably a once in a lifetime opportunity that you might regret later in life if you pass up. i hear it's really pretty there and you could even see some of the animals and everything. :] but to really answer your question, i don't think there's really any way of getting to stay home. i mean, if there's nobody else to stay with, and you're too young by law to stay home by yourself.. you kind of have to go. i'm sorry. the most you could do is talk to you parents and explain to them that you'd really prefer to stay home than go to africa, and try asking a friend if you can stay with them while you're parents are gone. i hope i helped. <3 [ MelLeDisko's advice column | Ask MelLeDisko A Question ]
