High School Anxiety?
Okay well I'm in grade 10 and there's this high school near our house that I could have gone to but instead it took me forever to convince my dad to let me go to this other high school I wanted (which he finally agreed and I've been there since grade 9).
But my little sister is going to enter high school next year and things are getting a bit complicated. She wants to go the original high school that we were supposed to go to. But now, my dad's convinced that my school is the best one in the province (always in newspapers about things).
He told one of her friend's parents that he's taking her to my high school, so now that parent is making their child go to my school too. (Which she didn't want her to). Now all her friend's parents are making them go to my high school and I don't know what to do! I feel like it's my fault.
Well first of all, I go to a catholic high school, so uniforms are not going so well with her (she has so much clothes so that would be such a waste NOT to wear them every day!). The school I was intended to go to is a public school.
My sister just told me that one of her friends was bawling because suddenly her parents told her that she's also being forced to go to my school (catholic). Like it's such a sensitive topic and I feel that it's my fault because I convinced my dad about sending me there in the first place so now he just won't stop spreading it around.
Another thing, I wanted to go to the school that I am in now because I wouldn't be with my family and my sister's annoying friends won't be there to bug me and embarrass me. My brother also wants to go to a different high school when it's time. So I had it all planned; 3 siblings, three different schools, good.
But now we're all going to the same school and it's bothering so much! Yes, I may sound like a bad sibling right now but really, it's in their best interest; I don't really like them and it’s almost tolerable but if I see them even more during the day now, I think I may start to hate them, which I don't want to happen.
And my conscience is killing me about my sister's classmates. Almost 1/4 of them are getting forced by their parents to go to my high school now when they were all (including my sister) going to go to that public high school.
I'm thinking of going to the house of that friend who was bawling and have a talk with her parents (they said that my school was better and that the public school has a bad drug reputation, but a lot of people in my school does drugs too), but
I'm really shy outside the house and I'm not sure...do you think I should? Or would that make it worse? And what should I do about all this pent up anger on my dad? It's taking up all my energy to keep it all inside right now because I just want to shout THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT in his face for creating havoc among my sister's friends in their last year of school together and mine. And what do you think I should do about y sister? Brother? I was talking it over with my friend and she said, "Well it's not your parents' choice of which school you go to, it's your life." And my sister doesn’t know anyone so she's already depressed and miserable.

Ok. This is a complicated story.
I totally disagree with you. You shouldn't let your father control your life. It's yours not his.
If you have something to say to your father and express your feelings to him I SAY DO IT, because you might not get another shot and look back "OH i regred not standing for myself"
And trust me the problem isn't that the situation is exactly your fault NO it's about you feeling bad, It's all about your father's non-sens actions and getting people to do that
You should give your father a call and stop him
If it didn't work , call your sister's friend's parents and explain
If you try with alittle of effort , YOU'LL GET WHAT YOU WANT TRUST ME

first, try to talk to your sister's friends' parents. explain to them that if they or their children are not religious, they shouldn't be going to catholic school. then, talk to your parents. tell them the reasons why the school is right for you. try to back this up with research on how your public school is also good. then explain why that is the best option for your sister. good luck!

Okay, woah, first off, you are two years or more older than these kids. You shouldn't be concerned about them going to this school. Maybe it is really the better school, and if these parents want their kids to go, then you have no place in trying to convince them otherwise.
I don't think you should go to their house and talk to them, because they didn't make the decision because you went there, they made it based on their own analysis of the school and decision. It's simply not your place to tell them otherwise what to do with their child.
Also, these are your siblings who you're talking about. Maybe they do get on your nerves, but you aren't in the same grade, and won't have the same classes. You need to rise above this. Besides, you can't honestly expect your parents to send all of your to different schools because that's seriously crazy and too complicated. I think you're stressing over stuff that doesn't need to be stressed over.
