How to convince parents to let you switch schools?
my parents are strict, thats a fact. I live in an area where there are two high schools in the same district and i wanted to switch to the other one, my mom wont let me even though i am 100% my grades will increase if i do. i even got grounded because i asked to switch. i am emotionally depressed because of the school i attend now and my mom is refusing to let me switch because she thinks i am lying. which is unfair. She wont let me switch even though its so easy to do it. So any suggestions ?
How to convince your parents to let you switch schools !?
If youre white, then go ahead and have a mature discussion with them, theyll come around. But if youre asian, your parents probably wouldnt change their mind through a "mature discussion". I mean im asian, and my parents wouldnt let me leave the private school i was at, even though i told them how bad i was being bullied. They didnt let me leave school until i started selfharming because i think they realised i was losing it and the last thing asian parents want is a crazy daughter. But im NOT encouraging you to selfharm. Im just saying that if youre asian theres probavly very little you can do to convince them to change their mind
How to convince my parents to let me switch schools?!?
I stopped reading your question at "constantly feel sad" that's all the info I needed. Them then that, the way you feel will greatly affect your motivation to do ANYTHING which will, I'm turn, affect school performance greatly. Change in environment is scrutiny crucial for minors, and people period. I don't see how they expect you to focus when you feel trapped in the same school, you probably feel in a rut, like your world is smaller. If they honestly put you before themselves and can afford to move they will, HOWEVER expect some negativity at first like "That's ridiculous!" Or "Your just being picky"(our stupid, or making excuses) but it's easy for them to say because they're on the outside looking in. Don't expect them to totally agree, give them time to think it over, BUT if they do go onboard right away THAT'S AWESOME! I know it run a while for my parents to accept me joining the military, don't get me started on how I told my mom I applied for SEAL training in the Navy. ANYWHOOOO, GOOD LUCK :)
How to convince my parents to let me switch schools?
I'm currently in 10th grade and I really want to switch schools. The one I go to is small and crowded. I barely have any space to walk in the hallways and teachers have to share classrooms. They are also adding more high school students from another campus to my school next year so it'll be even more crowded. The school lunch is beyond disgusting and I'm just not happy here. There aren't much electives her either. They don't even have a real gym or band room. The gym is really just 4 former classrooms combined together. I want to go to a real high school with big libraries (I'm a book nerd) and better teachers. The teachers here don't teach us, but rather show us videos and expect us to understand. I asked my mom if I could transfer and she said we already lived close to the school and I only have 2 years left so why bother. She says it doesn't matter what school I go to as long as I learn. But I want to have a good high school experience and to be able to enjoy learning. I despise going to school each day and I want that to change. Any advice?
How to convince my parents to let me switch schools?
I am a senior and I have been trying to switch schools since my freshman year. The only thing I liked about my current school was our xc team, but then a lot of really bad people joined (by bad i mean mean and annoying) and now even that I don't like. I have been trying to transfer to a different school, but it kind of gets a bad rep as "ghetto". I know quite a few people from that school and they aren't ghetto at all. My school isn't that great either. 1) Our academics aren't very good; AP classes don't prepare us for college classes at all. 2) Our administration & counseling sucks; I was supposed to be enrolled in Calc 3, but they put me in calc and refused to transfer me. I also had to sit out the most important race of the xc season because they mixed up my file and said I didn't have paperwork in when I did. 3) Everyone is annoying. I'm someone who is considered to have a lot of friends, but my close friends have been getting on my nerves. I tell them to stop and then they'll go back to doing it again. I cut out a good portion of them already and with the remaining few they just keep calling me "petty" and say I should just make up with them even though I've given them plenty of chances. The other school may be bad as well, but I don't really see how it can be any worse. I've talked to my parents about it, but they keep saying "just suck it up senior year will be a good year". Now it's senior year and I just want to leave more than ever. 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 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!
