I really want to move out of state and get a fresh start But im pretty sure my parents wont listen to me. My sister just recently moved out and I know they wouldnt want to leave state. because of her. The thing is i have made alot of mistakes here and they know i have changed but I want to start fresh and I feel I cant start fresh with me living around the people that know all my mistakes. How can i talk to my parents to show them that this really means alot to me and that i really want to move out of state. What can i say!?
How old are you? Are you 18? Are you old enough to move out? If not, I suggest you stay where you are. Your parents can't just pick up & leave because you want to. I realize you want a fresh start, but that's not really a valid reason to move. That's running away from things.
What happens if you do get to move & you mess up again? Are you gonna wanna move again? You can't do that. You can't let your mistakes make you. Everyone makes them, but everyone learns & grows to. If you've really changed, you wouldn't let your mistakes define you & make you want to leave. Don't run from this.
So, you can't really say much to your parents. They have jobs where you are. They can't quit their jobs, & move because of you. Moving takes lots of time, effort & money. It isn't something you can do overnight. So to tell you the truth, stay where you are. You're better off. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]

They have lives where they are, friends, jobs, things to do, people to see right where they are. You are just thinking of what you want, and not what your parents want. I would suggest though, to find a boarding school. It may seem like it's not for you, but they're fun, you see people everyday and everything. All with people you don't know yet. Well, sor-RY! But even if your parents don't have jobs, you still have to consider how glued they are to the area that you're in now. AND, since your parents don't have jobs, then that makes it no easier to just move away! Do you think that they can afford to move because you're sick of where you are? Maybe they can, maybe they can't, but listen, this is all stuff you should've included in your origial question. [ missbananafontana's advice column | Ask missbananafontana A Question ]
