i go to a technical school, and im in the 9th grade so i havent chosin my shop yet, wer still tryin out all the shops. well i originally went to the school because i wanted to take envirinmental tech. but now i think i like autobody better, but my parents wont let me take it. my mom said if i dont take environmental then i cant go to that school anymore. I probably am going to take environmental still, but its really pissing me off that they' r tryin to make the dicision, its not fair, and its prettymuch just making me want to take autobody anymore. Wat should i do?Is this fair wat their saying?
I am in no position to override your parent’s decision but to a eighth graders understanding I think technical schools are selective schools and which you have to earn your way into the school. Explain to your parent’s how hard you worked to get into this technical high school and that you should have the right to choice what shop you want to major in. Don’t make any threats and don’t raise your voice because that is not the way to get what you want. Calmly explain how you feel and sometimes promising taking their suggestion into consideration and then saying but at the end I will choose what you want to do may change your parent’s views. I think it’s important to have your parents involved in your education but being in ninth grade and earning your way to a selective school I think you should have the ability to make decisions. Make them feel that their opinion is important and you may just get what you want.
