Private School
My parents want to send me to a private catholic all girls school i my town. It is also required to wear a (very ugly) uniform. The classes look good and the school has good ratings and everything, but i have a problem with the religion thing, as well as the all girls part and the fact that I have to wear a uniform. how can i convince my parents to let me go to a different school or stay in public school??

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Ask them their reasons for sending you to a private, all-girls school. If their main concern is your education, you can very easily convince them that you'd get a good education elsewhere. You'll get out of school only what you put into it. If you aren't paying attention and taking notes, you won't learn. And regardless of who is teaching you you won't be paying attention if you dont want to, right?
If they still insist on sending you to a private school, mention the cost (especially in this economy). It could be applied to college tuition and pay a fair amount of it off (without loans!)
Or, ask if you can compromise and go to a boys/girls school instead of all-girls. I know a couple girls who go to all-girls schools and they're always talking about the drama/backstabbing/bitchiness that goes on. It seems to be worse than the regular private schools.
Hope I helped.

Alright, well you yourself said it looked like a good school. I know that it will be different with all girls but that's not always a bad thing. A whole lot less drama. As for the uniform, any girl has the ability to make the uniform cute. Just add your own accesories and style it to a way that you like. That's what i did when i had to go to a catholic school. Hope this helps!

Hi,
that's going to be difficult to pull off. They have your best interest at heart and think this is the best choice for you.
You've already stated the obvious about how good of a school it is. This is going to look good on a college application.
I went to a catholic high school with all girls. It's not that bad. You can deal with the uniforms and apply your own personal style to them. You will make some friends for life. Think about your future. I hope this gave you something to think about.
Good luck,
Ediemarie
