Teens: how you ever changed schools/wanted to change schools?
I've changed schools 3 times. It wasn't really that bad. Just, a bit awkward when you don't know anyone. I got lost a lot though, huge schools. But meh, easy to adjust I guess. Not too bad. I just transferred because I moved a bit.
Am I wrong to be mad at my friend for changing schools?
Your friend needs to do what he/she considers to be best. . Of course you feel badly that what's best for your friend involves a change in your relationship . But this kind of thing happens all throughout life. People are offered jobs in other cities. They marry and move away from their parents.Life is about change. And some changes involve painful sacrifices. You would not want someone to be angry with you if you wanted to try something new/important to you which limited your time together. Think about Charles Darwin who, at a young age, was invited to join an expedition on the HMS Beagle. His father, who couldn't bear the thought of sending his son into the unknown (remember- no internet or cellphones in those days) was opposed to letting him go. In the end, other people had to intervene and persuade the father to let Charles go.Be generous to your friends. Let them do as they need. You will find ways to support each other even though you aren't together all the time. And your friend will value you more for understanding their needs
What should I do? I want to change schools because of some “mean” people but I have a lot of close friends there.
umm “ mean” people indicates…whom ? Are they your teachers or err.. non-teaching staffs…or may be your parents want you to change the school..Whatever be it..let me tell you one thing, there will be people everywhere who seem mean for you. Everywhere. In schools, colleges, workplace, public place or even in family- not everyone will have the same opinion as you or the same mentality. Escaping due to them is losing the war I think.I think you should try to adjust/ adapt if the problem is the school -staffs or someone else. If the problem is within family, take time and reflect the problem from your and your parents’ point of view. If possible, try to sit and have a talk with them - a cool and calm talk.As if you don’t try making things up from now and just turn face from problems, it’ll be a big issue in future and you’ll have to pay those in cost of something precious. As this case compromises with your close friends.Be calm and decisive. Don’t ruin anything in haste.
How do I tell my parents that I want to change high schools?
I think the steps goes like this:You need to understand the reason you don’t feel comfortable in that school. The reason must be related to something concrete, such as your school grades.Second, you need to be able to articulate the source of what makes you uncomfortable. You need to be able to present that reason in a good way. Basically, you just need to make sure your parents will understand what you’re talking about, and not misunderstand what’s going on in your life.Third, you need to show your parents that you understand the pros and cons of both staying in that high school and going to the new school.It’s best you have an idea about the new school you want to go to. An ‘anywhere but here’ approach might bring your parents’ attention, but it won’t help them in helping you solve your problem. Basically, you need to assure them that the same thing won’t happen in your new school.Speak up to your school teachers about this too, if possible. They might have some ideas or insight about your situation. But don’t force yourself if you can’t do this.A reative of mine once had issues at her school too. She ended up moving schools several times, going through several social problems. Thankfully, she’s doing well now though. But it had been such a hard time for her, I just felt bad remembering about it now.

I don't want to change school districts!? HELP!!?
OK so im 17 and im going to be a junior in high school next year. problem is, my family has moved 10 mins a way to a different town and i would like to stay in the school I've been going to. Now i know that there is some law saying that you can chose what ever high school you want to go to but is that true? And i heard that in order to remain in that school im going to need some transfer thing to fill out and im going to need a good reason for why i want to stay. Well for one, i have way to many friends and people i know there and im in to many of the sports there plus the district im moving too is horrible. It's filled with nothing but a bunch of delinquents and i dont want to be in that kind of environment where people gets in fights over there every day. So what my question really is: i would like more information on that law. what is a good reason i can use to stay in that district? Is the fact that the violence, drug, and dropout rate enough? can i simply say i dont want to leave my friends and would feel more conferrable learning in an environment where im happy? i dont want to pay tuition cause i shouldnt have to because its a public school right? Im at the point of dropping out simply because i despise the school here where i live now... HELP!
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.
Is changing a school in class 9 a good idea?
Thanks for A2A.Preferably not. For the following reasons: In your current school,You are familiar with the teachersYou've your friends and know everyone from your classroomYou'd probably be knowing how the exam papers are checked and how you are supposed to study for it.When in doubt/having any difficulty in some topics, you can always approach your teachers (because you tend to know who teaches well)You know where your classrooms are situated, almost the whole school map is known to you. You'd miss out all these things in your new school because it'd have all new students,teachers and you'd need some time to know where your classrooms are situated exactly (if the school is big enough).And one more thing, class 10 is important for you to score and start your career. This time you should solely concentrate on your studies and your focus should not be changed into migrating your mind from one school to another. (You'd also miss your classmates and will take time to get-mixed with the new students because they'd have already formed their own groups).Still, its not a bad idea. But in my opinion, it is not recommended.
