switching schools
ok so im thinking about transferring schools this year (i will be a sophmore in highschool starting in the fall) and i just found out i have like only a week to make my final decision!! im completely stressed and im so scared im gonna make the wrong choice. the reason im thinking of switching is because this year was definately not what i thought it was going to be. everyone but up this reputation of my school and i found it a little dissapointing.(i was even a little skeptical about going to this school in the first place, but in the end i guess i thought it was the best choice) i mean i know your not supposed to love school, but you should enjoy it, right? well i did not. when i woke up in the morning there wasnt anything to look forward to when i went to school and i was so stressed during the year. (theres more reasons too but then it would take forever for me to write this and im sure you dont want to read that ahah) soo i just would like some advice and tips on decision making seeing how i hate making decisions since im always afraid ill make the wrong one. and this is such a big decision its making it even harder on me! thanks so much!

Thank you for your question.
Okay, so the main important reason you would want to change schools is.. *drum roll please*.. the lessons!
Screw the people at the school - this is your future we are talking about.
I already made the bad choice of staying at a crap school, just because it was literally a 10 minute walk from my house and I knew everyone there. Now, I wish I could turn back time and do it all again, only properly.
You have to realize, not all schools live up to their "standards" and people emphasize everything - so going to a certain school for it's reputation is a little silly.
If you're happy with the lessons and you're getting good grades, stick with the school you're at. If you've found a school which is better for those reasons (the lessons/teachers/learning process etc), then by all means, change. but you have to realize it will be a little hard settling in!
Don't fret about it. A week is quite a while to gain knowledge about other schools and decide which is best for you, personally.
Think about your grades, your future, what you want to achieve, what job you want when you're older...
Will you get that at your current school?
I can't make your decision for you, but I'll say it again. If the lessons are good and you're getting the grades you need, there's not a lot of point in putting yourself through changing schools. but if the standards could be a lot higher and you will benefit from it in the long run, change.
I really hope you think about changing schools for the RIGHT reasons (not friends etc) and you come to the right choice.
P.S.. not many people do enjoy school. It's just a bonus if you do. I can't stress enough how school years are pretty much the best of your life. You just won't realize it yet.
