I want to move school - but dont know how to tell them
Question Posted Sunday March 14 2010, 2:10 pm
So since I've been in high school I've been bullied a lot. Usually it's just snide remarks and comments, and although I never retaliate, I'm constantly screaming on the inside. I really don't feel like I don't fit in with the school and I've been reading on this other school that I really want to apply for but the thing is it's quite far away from where I live whereas my current school is literally down the road. And now, my younger brother has got into the same school as me so I don't think my parents would let me move because it only makes sense to have us at the same school and he really likes the school.
My parents know I don't like my school as they have noticed my mood when I come and last year I went through this really awkward self-harming stage, which has stopped, but my parents think it's because I'm getting used to my school.
Moving school is a hard process and I'm not sure I want to put my parents through it all, but I really want to go to the other school.
What should I do?

Listen, I've been there, done that, felt that, got bullied, in much much more ways than remarks and comments, and i stayed in that school for like 6 years, that was in junior and middle school, and then when i went to high school, the same people came with me to the new school, and it was pretty much 3 other years of hell. And after i left, yes it was horrible and there is nothing that would ever make me wanna go back to this place or know these people, but the place i'm in now, the college i'm in, and the people i know, i can't say its worth all what i've been through to be honest, but its a relief and an amazing feeling to be respected and treated well and have friends, so yes, its worth the while. And yes i used to go home crying everyday, and i used to cry in school, and it all affected my grades and everything in my life, and my parents knew about it, and they did switch schools for me, and guess what, the same people followed, or i met new people and i made trouble again or things didn't go well either. So here is the thing, sometimes there is good in where we are, although you might not see it, but if you compare it to something else, it might be better, and just try to focus on your studies and occupy your time, and i'm sure there are good people there, try to make friends even if one or two, and if they're true friends, they might have your back when someone lets you down.
So pretty much, its not the switching schools that's gonna do it for you, believe me, ofcourse it might be better for you, it might have not been good for me, but it might be for you, but don't run away or hide, face it and stand up to it, and ignore it, and don't let them put you down or upset you. And i swear i know what you are talking about, i've been through it all, up till the suicidal phases.
You know, at the end of the day, family is the most important thing ,most important people, and the time you spend with them is the most valuable. Spending time with your family doesn't make you a loser who doesn't have friends ,i used to think that, till i found out that with them i feel safe and happy and they love me and they would never hurt me.And where your family is, is the place you come to everyday after school to find comfort and they're always there for you.
