I want to go to another highschool please read

[Mourfus]

In my town there are 2 different highschools but alot of us went to the same middle school. I'm a freshman now and I never noticed how much better I fit in with my central (The other highschool) friends, we have the same sense of humor and I just all around like them better. I was still good friends with my north (my highschool) in 8th grade but for some reason they have be really mean and all around dicks to me latley and it's like really been getting me down. My family has a decent amount of income but a while ago I heard my parents talking about downgrading to another house in the central area but that was like a year ago and my dads work is going better now. I try to bring up the subbject of moving to my parents and they seem to just shoe it away so I don't know. I think my parents are trying to say that were not gonna move but when I ask them they I notice they never say we won't move. Is this them trying to keep my spirits up or do I acually have a chance? Also what do you think the deal is with my friends and last how should I better bring up the subject to my parents?

School related issues, if you can not stand your friends at your current school because they have turned into "dicks", i say forget them and find new friends in your school. If however, they continue to pester you, inform an administrative personnel to handle the situation or ignore them. If your are that desperate to move to another school, then you really need to press it on your parents with a reasonable explanation, because most parents will just ask whats wrong with the current school. And most of the time, its a little thing, but make that little thing a big thing for yourself, and it becomes your thresh hold.

As for the family moving, i don't exactly see that happening if your father has gotten better work. However, since you are constantly thinking about it, i suggest calling them both to the table, or on the couch or somewhere when they both have free time, and talking about it with each other to get the final answer you seek. Being open and honest about how you feel about the matter they were discussing which you over heard is the best approach in my opinion.

How did you feel about the people you are in school with now in 8th grade? Were you better friends then? I think, what may happen, is if you change schools, this is just going to happen again. Why do you think they started acting the way they do now?

If your parents don't want to move, then I think they have a good reason for it. If they were considering it, then I think they would tell you. I don't think that you should bother them about it that much. It is one thing moving when you don't want to, but if you do, then let them tell you when it may happen, if it does.

Just remember, what if you change schools, and find it's worse?

Good Luck!

The reason for behavioral changes to other friends durin transitions to other schools is unknown. The more likely cause is puberty, however, that does not warrent for such behavior. Generally if you are still friends with the other kids at a different school, and they treat you well. It is a good idea to move there to have a better schoolin environment. Having whats going on at his school with his current situation is very degrading to him, and can cause depression and the likes.


Many times, when kids change schools, it is because what is happening at the previous school is too much for them to handle, and the new school is a fresh new start. How much worse can it be than having a fresh start where you can only improve, and not fall since you are not known so well at a new school.

The moving, i agree with you, HOWEVER, the parents not only should think whats best for them, but for their child as well. If he wants to move, it is best to bring it up with them, for consideration for all parents whats best for their child, and only their child knows what they want that is best for themselves.

Honestly, I don't really think that problems with friends is worth switching schools, and definitely not moving. There are going to be problems with people no matter where you go, and I learned the hard way that it's better to deal with those problems than avoid them, because they all come back in different forms sooner or later, and you'll wish you would have dealt with them sooner.

Why not try making new friends in your school? If there are only two high schools in your town, chances are you've got quite a few kids at your school. So why not try to meet some new people? I would explore that option before deciding to switch schools entirely. Although it would be nice, I highly doubt your family is going to want to move simply so you can switch schools because of your friends. I think that there are probably better options, and you should try them first.

It depends on how much your "friends" degrade you. If its a constant everyday thing and you feel depressed, down, and uncomfortable, then yes, it is a major problem for they aren't your friends at all. There are many ways to deal with a problem, moving school is one, but before doing so, it is best to confront the antagonists about the problem. It is all based on his choice. If he feels no need to confront them, and wishes to be away from it, then technically he is dealing with it, but not in the way many would advise.

I mentioned making new friends in my previous post b4 as well, and parents will do so if it is to the best interest of the child if they know it is a constant everyday problem that he can't handle. Assuming the parents care to that extent to do so.
