Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Tell your parents that you want to gain some independence and become more confident...and you think that boarding school will help you achieve these qualities...and so many more! You could also lie and make up an excuse for wanting to get out of town (like a fight with a friend or something)
Also...promise them that you'll write, and call, and visit A LOTTT. Also say that you want to learn to become more responsible, and by being away at boarding school, you will be forced to gain responsibility because you will be forced to manage your own time, and study habits, etc.
I hope that this helped...and good luck!

i went to that sight, and it doesn't really talk about important stuff
i go to a school where a lot of my friends board (although I don't)
Pros: there is no commute, transtitioning, all your stuff is in one place, you have a room and it makes stuff easy.
they often have really good relationships with teachers, because they can talk to them and go for help whenever they want
there is more focus and emphasis on doing hw, studies actually show that boarding students do better academically than students who don't.
they are also very close to other students, it's fun
cons: homesickness, don't get to see family and home friends as much
unless where ur going has a great cafeteria, the food probably won't be as good as at home, you will probably get sick of it
there's lots of drama, you'll wish u were home sometimes, especially if it's a single sex school rather than coed, lots of DRAMA
hope that helped a little

Here is a site that lists the pros and cons of boarding schools. I would read it over and let your parents know the pros, and get prepared with some
some good answers for those cons. :)
