Question Posted Thursday February 25 2016, 10:02 pm
i really want to go to this boarding school in cali, because i hate florida and hate the school i'm at now. i'm in 10th grade and i've been there since pre-k, and i have so many life long friends so i really don't know what to do
If you really think about it, your situation is not where you attend school but where your parents live and where they are employed. Its tough moving anywhere, let alone across country and finding new jobs and a new place to live all because one child doesnt like living in Florida.
My husband grew up there as a kid and when he turned 18, he took road trips traveling across the country to see if he liked any other places better. Growing up in Florida, he also still says he came to hate it too and loves it out on the west coast. He still wanted to be near water but where the weather was vastly different.
Enjoy your friends and your HS graduation, things that you may later regret having missed. The fact of life is that once you all leave HS, things change drastically with some staying at their home grounds and others traveling across country or even other countries for school and your friends will date and marry and get established into their own lives and have kids and not live anywhere near you and though you might call and write, its next to impossible to visit often and definitely you wont be seeing them regularly as you used to. My vote is for waiting until college to move to Cal. when you are close to or at the age of 18 as a legal adult now able to make all your own decisions like finding work and a place to live there after graduating and meet a nice Calif. guy to settle down with there.
