Running away to another country by going to an international school
Question Posted Tuesday July 29 2014, 3:39 am
for starters....I'm depressive, suicidal, and have anger issues. this summer i visited the Philippines with my family and visited mostly my dad's side. My life in America sucks because of my mother side and even if I did leave to go live in the Philippines no one in America not even my friends would miss me. So i asked my grandpa if i could go to school in Cebu, Philippines because he is the administrator of Peza. That is another story. Anyways my parents told me that i could go to a school called Cebu International School if I asked my grandpa. So far he's checking out the school, but the thing is school start on August 7th. Today is July 29th. I know it sounds selfish to make my family pay 18k per year to go to this year but i really need to go away. Life in the Philippines was happier for me. The kids who are going to the school applied at least a month earlier than me....and here I am asking my administrator grandpa to waltz into the school and ask if i could still apply. I really need advice if this is really the right thing to do. If i somehow manage to apply the school I would have to leave August 4th. please help
Is this the right thing for you to do. I really can't say and I don't think any other of us can as we don't know you or the problems you say you have. If moving to the Philippines and living with your dads father will make you happier, no longer suicidal or depressive then yes it is the right thing to do.
What concerns me is your depression and being suicidal. I'm concerned that moving to your grandpa's will only be a bandaid for these problems not a fix. Here again I do not know you or the problems causing you to be depressed or suicidal.
If you are able to attend this school this year and move to your grandfathers I would like to continue to hear from you. To hear how you're doing, how your depression is and elicit a promise that if you are still depressed you will ask for help.
Moving away from the problems causing the depression may be all that is needed. Thanks to the Internet you can continue to contact me in private messages so I can see how you are doing.
