How to convince My parents to let me move schools?
Are you finishing 8th and moving on to high school after summer break or are you going into 8th and have this last year of middle school before high school? Are you being bullied (even verbally) or harassed? Tell them that. The school district will have to agree to let you move if that is the case and that is your choice for handling the situation. If you are about to finish 8th and go on to high school you may meet other kids there who will have more in common with you and appreciate you. Make some calls or search on the web and find out for yourself what it would take to transfer -- do the legwork and show your parents that you have thought this through and you really want to make this decision for your own mental well being. Do you know what your parents issue is with this? Is it transportation? A new school would be farther away but at this one you can take the bus or go in carpool or walk? Is it that your parents are friends with other parents with kids at your school? (I think that is a dopey reasion but it could happen). My suggestions then are to do the legwork -- choose the school you wish to attend; find out if it is still possible to transfer to that school -- if not now when? Be able to explain why you chose that school and how you think it will benefit your education. Help your parents understand the mental anguish you go through at your current school AND how you think a new school will change that. If your parents are not taking you seriously it may be because ``Oh well girls have their arguments and then they make up. How do we know the same thing will not happen with new friends from your new school?`` Think of what you will say to make it clear that your fall out with your friends is not about a little tussle that will get straightened out soon but that whatever issue arose between you and one friend they did the girl bullying thing and pressured all the other girls to turn against you. That is a hard thing and there is hardly any remedy for it. If after all of this they will not let you change schools and you honestly do not think you can make new friends at your current school then ask if you can be involved in a community activity like sports league or music or theater or dance or whatever where you can meet other girls from other schools and form new relationships. Be well and good luck!

How can I convince my parents to let me go back to my old school?
just talk to your parents and tell them how unhappy you are. maybe putting all of your feelings down on paper and reading it to them will help you? also, check with the business office at the school and inquire whether or not tuition can be paid in advance rather than by school year. if anything, they may be able to get a refund... you won't know unless you ask.
How to convince your parents to let you go back to your old school?
So i'll try to explain this. in october, my parents-without any warning-transferred me to a new school. I was failing at my old school because i was lazy and careless. here, i have all As and Bs. only problem? i'm miserable. i have friends, but they're not my type. and i come home everyday and cry. they want to send me back next year, but i physically cannot make it through another year. I snap at my parents, which i usually don't do. i have this hollowness inside me that won't go away. i wanna go back to my old school next year. my parents say they'll think about about it, but they refuse to talk about it. And your advice will probably be to make more friends, but you've never visited this school. the only way to be popular is to have been here when you were very little. If you weren't here when you were little, then they'll ignore you and try to avoid you. i am depressed all the time now, and i just dont know what to do. please help.
How do I convince my parents to let me change schools? I can explain the situation if you want to.
In order to get them to agree, you will have to be clear and convincing about your reasons for wanting a change, and depending on the type of parents you have, those reasons may have to be very well articulated.Start by asking yourself what might be the reasons they would say no? Cost? Change in everyone’s routine because you now have to be driven a long distance to school? Reputation of the school you want to change to? (e.g. a jock school and not academic so they may be worried about your getting into university).Then, be honest with yourself about the reasons you truly want to change? Because your best friend just transferred over? Generally not sufficient a reason in many parents’ eyes. Because you are being bullied? Because your current school doesn’t offer specialized courses that really interest you? Because you don’t like your teachers? (Tough, you’ll have bosses that you don’t like as well - learn how to to get along).And finally, what inducement can you offer if they are willing to let you change? This is, after all, a negotiation, so both sides should walk away with something they didn’t have before.

How to convince my parents to let me out on New Years?
I was actually brilliant at this and my sister used to say that I should be a lawyer. You have to present your case much like that of a lawyer. First you have to pick the angle you want to work and make sure that you have a back up angle in case the first one gets shot down. The more professional your proposal is, the more likely it will be well received. You are proposing that you spend new years with your friends so you need to be able to answer who, what, where, when, why and all the other questions. Make sure to get the point across that you're really excited, that way they get the impression that if they say no, they'll break your heart, but never act like they will. Bring up all the positives (examples: you get good grades, your a good kid, would never do anything they wouldn't approve of, my friends are boring good girls like me, we just want to watch the ball drop on tv and criticize the broadcasters outfits, etc). Make your case. It helps if a parent will be at the house you'll be in. Don't act negative or beg. If it's a quick no, then only make a case to get them to say yes to consider it. If you can get them to say yes to considering it, they know they'll really break your heart if they say no later, especially if you continue to act excited about it. Lastly, if they say no in spite of all this, respect their wishes and have fun with them this New Year's Eve. You can act a little mopey before hand but get it out of your system by New Year's Eve. You will have already set the ground work for other events you wish to attend and showed them how well you respected their wishes. No parent wants to break their kid's heart over and over again. Hope this helps and good luck.
How can I convince my parents to change my school?
The best and easiest way to convey your feelings to them is to talk to them directly. They’ll surely understand your problem. When I wanted to change coaching I just dragged my dad in my room and started the conversation like -“Dad, I don’t feel satisfied where I am.” “I want better coaching.”He raised his brows and the rest of the conversation was more introgatory than explanatory. He asked me what my problems were and I just had to answer the questions. This way, it was very comfortable and easy.The point is, if you’re having problems that need to be tackled on priority basis, don’t wait for your parents to diagnose it for you. Believe me, you need guts just to initiate the conversation. Rest is a flow.I chose my dad for this discussion as I felt we share views. And he’s more comfortabe to talk to. Choose a smooth parent and then take his/her help to convince the other.
How do I convince my parents that I want to go back to my old school after this school year if they want me to stay at this school?
The only suggestion I can offer to you, is for you to explain ALL the reasons you desire to attend your former School. It might be best for you to think about your reasons, write them down, and actually review them…before confronting your Parents. Be willing to listen to THEIR reasons for wanting you to remain at your new School. Engage your Parents in a CALM, unemotional manner…much as if you were participating in a debate in a Forensics Class. Conducting your conversation in mature way, will encourage your Parents to reply to your requests in the same manner. Good luck to you.
