horrible high school life ):
i really need help. i go to a public high school and the area is very unsafe. there are a lot of people dropping out, smoking weed, skipping class, not paying attention in class, and bullying others. i was super excited for high school until my expectations blew up. the teachers there dont teach really well and students distract me from learning. i honestly cant concentrate in anything. i tell my parents this but they dont listen. i only have one friend that came from my middle school and she doesnt like the high school too. i really want to transfer to a private school that has most of friends. i tell my friends about my problems in that public school but they cant do any help. making friends there is hard because almost everyone there knows each other. i really need help convincing my parents to move. also, ive notived my parents waste gas on traveling to my high school from my middle school because of my sister. also, i come to school late and get picked up late.
what can i do to persuade my parents to going back to private school ?

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
The problem is you are likely in public school because they can't pay for private school. Either that or they think you're being overly dramatic which you aren't.
Who do your parents listen to? Approach that individual with exactly what you wrote us as it was well written and thought out. Tell them that your parents refuse to send you anywhere else and you're bloody miserable.
One option to look into is catholic school as it's public but likely in a better location and will have different teachers and students. Even if you don't believe in that religion and your parents do it's open to you still.
As far as private school goes why not contact an old teacher or principal and tell them all the reasons you outlined here for wanting to return. Maybe they can call your parents and work something out to be there.
I have a hunch your parents can't pay for your tuition or something as all your reasons for going back to school there make sense to me.
The only thing you can do about making friends with these kids is not to judge them on their faults, remain friendly and be yourself. Sooner or later people will want to know you but they won't if they think you don't want to know them. They probably think that you're stuck up because of where you came from.
You have to get adults your parents know on your side to keep hammering them on the school not being your rightful place as they've tuned you out. They can't do that with peers, teachers, principals and those they trust who all would say you're miserable there.

Let them know exactly how you feel. Make a list of all the positive things about a private school and how it will affect your life. It is, by fact, a better place to learn and usually way easier to make friends, concentrate, and get extra help. Tell them you will be very dedicated to your work and that you will be much happier there. Tell them that your happiness is a part of your life that is very important and if you don't live happy, it can affect you so much in the future. Go really deep if you can and they will (hopefully) understand and try to figure something out. I know how you feel. Good luck! :)
