i hate my school :(
okay so im in ninth grade and i absolutly HATE my high school. it is giant, my class has about 1000 people in it right now, so that means my whole school has about 4000.
i hate being around alot of people, and i hate large crouds, so abviously this is not a good environment.
i really really dont want to stay at it, but i dont know how or where or if i can transfer.
and the fact that i have like two friends, one of which is transferring to a private school next week, and my ex best friend is in one of my classes and 'picks on me' the whole time and the councelor cant change my schedule, does not help the situation!!!
ive looked up schools, i really want to go to a private school, but my parents are divorced and we dont have like any money right now, so that dream is basically crushed.
i dont know what school would be good for me. i know i want a small learning evironment, and i have alot of learning disabilities, some of which include severe adhd and dyslexia, so i dONT know what school would take me.
i live in austin texas, so i need a school there. i was looking at round rock christian academy, but the site is skrewed up so i dont know...
so, i need suggestions for schools in austin. and most importantly, i dont know how to tell my mom that i want to switch schools! im really bad talking to people and i dont know how to bring it up or tell her, cause she already thinks im messed up (she thinks if your emo that your messed up).
so any suggestions?!?!?!?!?!?!
anything will help.....THANKS IN ADVANCE :)

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
The first thing is you need to make sure you're absolutely sure about this. Freshman year is always hard. I went from a big school like that to a small school with only 30 seniors, and there were a lot of things about the old school I missed. School activities, having more opportunities to make friends...small schools can feel really claustrophobic- every teacher and student knew my business.
Having said that, I had a really great experience at the smaller school (it was a continuation school). The first thing you need to do is talk to your parents, because there's no way this is gonna happen without them. Explain to them your reasons (not just "i hate my school" but valid reasons why). Make a list beforehand of your reasons so you don't forget. With your parents, go to see your school counselor.
Ask about an alternative/continuation school, I think that will really help you. Your counselor will have a lot of information on other schools, more than you can get by googling it. Be aware that if they let you transfer, it probably will not be until the end of this semester or school year.

Well my suggestion would be to go to your school counselor and tell him/her that you want to transfer and if they can give you any good schools that would accept you. See here in New York, we have an Alternative school. It's for bad kids or kids that have social phobia or kids that have a hard time learning. The entire school consists of about 50 kids.. if that. It's a really good learning enviornment and the teachers are really nice. Maybe ask about a school like that in your area. And about telling your mom, Just tell her that you're having problems in school with certain people and that you don't like being in such a big school. She'll understand. Hope I helped and good luck!
