How do I talk to my parents about wanting to go to boarding school in another country for my last two years of high school?
I'm geniunly miserable where I live right now and I was going to stick it out untill I finish school but I don't think I can.
I want to go back to the UK (which is where I was born) but my parents can't move back because of their business.
I'm very close to them but I want to talk to them about going to boarding school. How can I do this so they take me seriously and so that it doesn't turn into an argument? (any talks of going back to the UK usually end in an argument)

also think about the reason you want to go, make them sound reasonable and not whinney.
ask them at a good time, when they aren't stressed or busy or upset
