Wanting to change schools

[xxMusicSaviorxx]

Im in high school and i am thinkin of changing schools. I had a really bad start with my stepdad actin out and causing a bunch of problems. I also wanna change cuz i wanna be closer to my real dad and my best friend. I dont wannna be seperated from her any longer becaues we are friends since birth! The last time I was in the same school as her was preschool. She is having so much fun while i am starting a boring day everyday. I have a very hard time makin friends so i want to go to her school so that she cant help me and for once i can be apart of her daily life once again. But the thing that is in the way is my ma. she says she had enough of changing schools and it is to much of a hassel. The school is right next to the city and not that far. I want that reason to wake up and look forward to going to school, knowing that someone cares if i am there or not.

Hello

I'm not sure if this is relevant or not to you...but I always had a hard time making friends in school as well. I always felt like I was different and that I didn't fit in...I now realize that a lot of that may have been related to Chiari. After the surgery, when my episodes of spaciness and social anxiety reduced, a lot of those feelings have gone away. So keep that in mind, that even this may be related.

How easy would it be for you to go live with your dad for awhile?

For me having Chiari (although unknown at the time) and going through the trials of highschool was a really trying time for me...so I can remember what it feels like. I did the same as you and in GR12 I decided to focus on my grades and just getting the heck out of school...it was the best decision I made. What is hard to realize is that once you leave school and enter the real world, you forget all about the hardships of highschool and it really means nothing!!! So keep focusing like you mentioned above and get through it!

I know but the point is that i am not comfortable there. No one actually talks to me and thats somthing i have delt with many times. I cant call the people from the school that i know "Friends" cuz the basicly just a third wheel. I know my ma has been though alot so i have a plan to convice her. i am going to get fit(my own choice) and i am going to make my GPA as high as i can.I hope it work

Hi...I understand all ur reasons u mentioned..and I understand ur mom's as well, but u have to get her to understand it is not something u want just to make u happy, but to help u academically as well....u do better in an environment in which u feel comfortable...

Ur mom has  had a lot thrown at her and I am sure she is overwhelmed.....u need to take a step back and see how u can do this in a way that it can help her.

I know, u want it to help u, but, many times u have to go to the back door to get  someone to answer.....
