How Should I Handle this?

Next year (not this school year),Im gonna go to high school.Well,my mom was thinking about buying another house,then using that new house’s address to transfer me to a “better” school.And its like 15 minutes away from our house.She wants to transfer me,bcuz she that school has a slightly higher rating than the one Im supposed to go to,but I dont see why I need to.Becuz I usually make straight A’s,and I have perfect conduct.Besides,I dont wanna leave all my friends!!!And the school that I wanna go to,has a lot more opportunities (in my eyes).Like more clubs,departments,stuff like that.Also,I had everything planned out,like the classes im gonna take and EVERYTHING.And she said that when I go to college,I cant go to any really good colleges,Like Harvard, even if I do get accepted,and yet she wants me to go to one of the best high schools?And Im doing really good in school anyways.But she’s still gonna transfer me!What Should I do?How do I convince her?Please Help! :[

Colleges don’t exaclty look at what school you come from, as long as you have good grades, involve yourself in activities and clubs and make yourself known, you should be fine. It’s not your fault where you go to school and lots of kids don’t have enough money for high end high schools. Your mom should understand.

Good Luck!

dang. i feel you. My dad has me in the same boat and i want to just rip my hair out, i get so frustrated. The school i want to go to has a better sports program, clubs, and most of my friends will be going there next year. The school my dad wants me to go has a 100 percent rate of getting you to a good college. I have amazing grades and im good at sports, so in my eyes it doesn’t matter, as long as i can be happy and live well with my decision.

We’re still fighting, and now he has played the moving card. He wants to live closer to work, so if i go to MY school we move like an hour away from my friends and basically life. He’s the only one that likes this plan, but mom’s never gonna stop him.

I’m getting more involved with my friends. Calling every night, hangign out on weekends. I’m putting every spare hour into my sports and busting my *** in school. I’m proving to him its my life and i’m running this shindig. My mistakes, my acomplishments, my life.

Talk to the other parent(if you can) and see how they stand. Prove your ideas in the best way possible. Then talk to your mom and needle away her debate. thats the best we can do at this age.
