My mother is unhappy with one of my classes this year, and I think she is making me switch. I'm not sure if the switch is final yet, but she has already called the principal, and they talked about it.
Background: There is this guy, long story short, that I love. I was hoping for classes with him this year so we could finally talk "it" out. But I got none, and I never see him.
My two options (that the principal gave me) are:
1.) Switch out of Spanish with my best friend, so I can take Art History, which will is the pre-requisite for Photography, which I really wanted to take!
2.) Change up my whole schedule. I'd still be in Spanish with my best friends, but I probably wouldn't see my casual friends anymore. I don't know anyone in the classes I'd be switching too. My school is really small, so the people in the class are probably people I don't like. BUT, if this happened, I'd be in two classes with the guy!!

And then I would've looked back and regretted it, because I gave up the classes I wanted, and the classes with my friends, just for some stupid guy! Ha ha!
What you SHOULD do is take the Art History class, so you can take Photography. And stay in the classes with your friends. There will be other opportunites to talk with the guy (calling, texting, seeing him outside of school, etc.) If things are meant to work out with him, they will. But if not, you don't want to mess up your whole schedule, and the chance to take Photography, for nothing. [ Jeanne's advice column | Ask Jeanne A Question ]

You may really want to be in class with your guy, but in the long run you probably won't be as happy with your decision.
Think about it, if you take Art history then you'll be able to take a class that you love, and you're passionate about. Plus you'll still get to see all of your casual friends all the time. You may not be in class with your best friend, but you can always hang out after school and between classes. Plus, what if the thing with this guy doesn't go as you dreamt it to be in your head? What if it all goes sour? You would be stuck with him for a whole year?!?! If you’re still so young that you’re in school then that means that guys won’t be forever. And when it ends it’s usually pretty bitter for both of you.

Even if you are in his classes, that won't automatically mean you'll talk to him & become friends or more. He might sit on the opposite side of the room as you or you might not even get a chance to talk during class. Plus, since you have a crush on him, that may change. There's probably other guys you'll have crushes on later & you'll definitely regret it if nothing happens between you two & you realized that you never took the classes you really needed. It is school, so you should go for the better classes which will be easier for your schedule. You shouldn't change yours to fix his. Why not see if he's in your lunch?? Maybe stop by his locker in the hall?? You can start casual conversations there. It doesn't have to be during class time.
