Should I change high schools my senior year?
I went to my high school for the past 3 years. A lot of my friends are here and my best friends. I want to play football next year but the team isn't great here. Down the street the school is state champs in football. I have less friends there but know some. I want to be on a cif winning team so want to go there for my senior year, should I do it? I know I'll have to work hard to make the team but I'm willing to put in the work. What do you think?
Changing schools in your senior year?
i didn't move at that point, but i really wanted to. consider yourself lucky. the advantages of this are that you are in a new place, nobody knows you, you can be whoever you want. be friendly, be open to everything, if stuff blows up in your face, who cares? it's only a year before you take off again.
Should I change high schools right before senior year?
I currently go to a fairly small public high school, with about 1500 students. I am a junior right now, but I found out about a Christian private school that I really want to go to. There are a few reasons I want to switch, including that I've had a lot of struggles finding friends, I don't like the fact that so many kids fight, do drugs, and get in trouble and don't care, I want to be able to take a religion class because I'm thinking about ministry related careers, and this high school is really high on the list of top schools in my state. That school has about 400 students, and I am friends with a few who go there. I know that switching schools before senior year is really unusual, and I've never heard of someone going public to private, especially that late in the game. So I want to know a couple of things: How will this affect my college applications? Has anyone been in this situation who could give some advice? How should I convince my parents to let me go there? Thanks!
Changing high schools halfway through senior year?
I have 15 more weeks of school until I graduate. Those 15 weeks are going to be pure hell. I only have 2 friends in my school and I don't have any classes with them. I am alone 95% of my day. I wake up in the morning and I am home alone. I go to school where I have no friends. I go to work where I have no friends. I come home where my mother is depressed and isolates herself in the other room. I cant take being alone anymore! I swear to god if I don't find someone to hang out with soon I am going to kill myself! All weekend I have been alone. I tried calling my friends but they didn't answer. I spent all weekend eating. I eat a lot of food when I am alone. I think it is from depression or something. Today I ate 3 very large pancakes with butter, bananas, and syrup on top. 10 fish sticks with ketchup 3 bowls or fruit loops an apple 2 oranges 2 little debbie snack cakes 2 Bologna and cheese sandwiches. I eat like this almost everyday. I am packing on the pounds due to it. I weighed 133 pounds 3 weeks ago. I now weigh 137 pounds. I am disgusting. I haven't done anything all weekend. I played on the computer, put together a puzzle, and played checkers with my mother(to my surprise). I live in a rural farming community. My graduating class has 47 people in it. I unfortuantly dont fit the mold that this town has set up for itself. There are only two types of people in this town. The populars and the unpopulars. There is no diversity. Its either you play soccer or you dont matter. You play baseball or you dont matter. I dont know what I like. I need to find out.... soon. There is a large highschool a town over. Its a 15 min. drive from where I go now. I know a lot of people from this school. Not enough to call a friend but enough to follow them around and hang out with them. I have 4 people at this school I could hang out with. Each of them are from different cliques so I could easily meet more people through them. I want a change. I want friends, a social life, and happiness. I dont want to stay where I am now. I am not happy. I want to ask my mom if she will let me move to this city school. Would it be a bad idea to move halfway through senior year? How can I ask her?
Is it too late to transfer to another high school during my junior year?
Oh hell no. I don't know about your situation and reasons to transferring, but if you want to, why not? During my junior year, a guy (let's call him A) I was friends with suddenly didn’t show up to school. Two weeks past and he still didnt show up. His friends didn't know what was going on until at the end of junior year. He mo to another school, near his old school. He apparently got so stressed (my school was known to be hardcore in academic….barely survived myself) that he ran away from school. Somehow with the help of his parents and psychologists, he moved to a different school. He's much happier and better now:) got into a better college than most of students in my school. So don't worry! I mean, even in college know so many students moving away transferring to different schools.
What is it like to transfer schools in your senior year of high school?
I believe there are many factors involved which determine whether the experience will be positive or negative. My parents moved from Massachusetts to North Carolina the summer of 1989 right as I was about to enter my senior year in high school. I had lived in the same suburban town 20 minutes south of Boston my entire life. I had been enrolled in the same school district since kindergarten & had known every one of my peers since that time. I was very active in school activities including cheerleading and being elected Vice President of my junior class. Transferring from a school where my graduating class had less than 100 students to a high school with a graduating class of 300 in a city 14 hours away that I had never even heard of was devastating. The third day of school I developed flu like symptoms which doctors informed my parents was attributed to a psychosomatic condition. Basically I was so miserable & stressed my mind was making my body physically sick. I plotted to get on a plane to go home to Ma during the Christmas break & never step foot in NC again. I resented both of my parents for the move for some time. They moved by choice - not because one of them had received a job offer too good to refuse. The timing to me was extremely selfish - they couldn't wait ONE more year for me to graduate? I loathed school my senior year & would skip every chance I got. At 44 I'm over it but there was a time where I did feel robbed of the traditions & rites of passage a high school senior's year brings. My mother told me years ago she regretted the decision to move at that time & if she could go back to 1989 she wouldn't have encouraged the move just before my senior year. In today's economy there are challenges that relocating can alleviate. However if a child is happy & adjusted a move right before or during the senior year is cruel.
Is it smart to switch high schools your senior year?
That will definitely be a bad idea. I had the urge to switch schools in my sophomore year in high school but am soo glad I didn't. You grew up with the people you went to high school with and you really shouldn't be apart from your peers. Besides, you know how your school is run now and a new school will confuse you. Besides it's going to be your senior year. You should concentrate to make your senior year good and do everything you can do make that happen for you next year. If you switch schools, you'll feel like you're at the beginning again and it'll not be good. But it's really up to you. I wouldn't do it though
Would switching high schools (my senior year) be worth it?
i go to a high school that i hate, and i'm about to be a senior. i've lost all of my friends for different reasons and i can't seem to meet anyone i actually like at my school (mostly because i've known all of them since elementary school). there is a new high school they built a couple years ago that's literally 10 min away from my school, but i only know a couple people who go there. i'm seriously considering switching. will my school let me switch? and would it be worth it? it's also a lot easier of a school where i'll have a better class rank, because my high school is extremely competitive academic wise.
Should I switch schools senior year?
For a long time I have complained about my current school for several reason, not enough girls, lol, no activities i can get involved into with the school (debate club, hockey, classes that I really want for example languages like italian, since my school doesnt have that. I live in a pretty small town, so i basically have my reputation and know all of the people I am going to know for my senior year, there arnt many girls who arnt taken or i see myself talking to / have the chance to talk to. I recently was offered the chance to go live with my grandparents in mount laurel new jersey, opposed to haddon heights, where I would attend Lenape High school. This school had like 6 languages i can choose from to learn, psychology classes, has a debate class, and club, had an ice hockey club with a team in a league, and has a lot more people, so more of a chance for me to find a girl i like ( my school didnt have any of these, and had 2 languages, both I didnt care for as much) on top of all of that, i found it hard to find a decent job for myself, and as soon as i stayed with my grandfather for a few days he informed me that he knew a man who could probably give me one, since he owned a store that was hiring. All of this aside, i do not want to risk throwing all i have worked for in haddon heights because as much as I complained about the school every day of my life, i do have some friend, who i can literally trust my life with, and I do not want to lose them, and I have been going to haddon heights High for 6 years ( the JR high is in the same school grades 7-12) but the school I am going to attend, the more I look into it the more I see everything I did want out of highschool Also a friend told me (because he considered doing it, not because of all of this) that switching schools senior year is a bad choice, because I will be the new kid and granduate with a class I only will know for 1 year, so by the time I make some friend we will be out of there. or possibly i will have the shock value of being the "hot new guy" at this new school too and have some girls appreciate me for once lol Thanks, if you chose to help me on this very hard decision
