My best friend moved and she means so much to me - Plus, she moved to the school I've been wanting to go to!! It's fancy, not strict, has better education... It's better for me.
Plus, I don't really want to know anyone there except for her. So then I'll meet new people (Everyone at my current school hates me).
So how should I sort of convince my mom to let me move? I've mentioned it, but not really asked her. She never said yes, but she never said no.
Tell her that the only thing that was good about school was your friend. Ask her if she can find a way to send you there as you would be a lot happier. It could be a money issue as well as transportation or even an issue where they can't or won't take kids from a different district unless they move. Have her look into possibilities.
Also, SOME kids may be bugging you but reality is NOT everyone hates you. There has to be someone out there that needs a friend like you. Start looking at those in the same boat as you that maybe you ignored or didn't think of. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]
Razhie answered Saturday January 26 2013, 6:36 pm: Start out by knowing what changing schools will mean: How will you get to school? Will it cost more money to go there? Do you live in an area where it's okay to go there, or will you need special permission?
Once you have the answers to those question, just ask your mom to switch. If you know the possible problems, you and your mom can have an honest conversation about what your family can manage.
It's possible your mom will have to say no for reasons you just can't control. Maybe the family can't manage to get you to the school. Maybe they can't afford it. If that's the case, you'll need to accept it, but the best thing you can do is ask. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
Trauma answered Saturday January 26 2013, 5:47 pm: You can try to explain the main reason you want to switch schools to her, which is because of your best friend, and that you're having issues with the people at your current school. But, you should also include as much information about the school as possible. Do your research, print things off or show her the websites. Try to compare it to your current school, and give her the reasons why it's better. [ Trauma's advice column | Ask Trauma A Question ]
