school help: I feel unhappy and rather insulted. - Help.com

Hell, sounds like a bad idea to me too, if your not around bad things you grow up niaeve, try having a serious talk because private schools are vicious (from my experiance)

who i am sorry about that but talk to your mom and tell her to tell you why she is doing this?

my mom sent me to private school too, and we moved to a different house. i’ve learned to love my new house somehow. and private school? is amazing. trust me, i was on the same page as you. i’d cry to my parents every night begging them not to send me to school there. i found i love it. you are right though, there’s a lot more drugs and partying in private schools. just stay true to yourself wherever you end up. its hard to not change in such an environment,but just stay true to whoyou are.

Private or public does not make a difference where drugs and bad behavior are concerned, but you have to ask yourself what you want out of life. Do you want what your parents obviously have (a house (BTW - in the big bad world 8 rooms is not tiny), a car, the means to move to a new location, etc…) or do you want to get a fith rate education and have to take remedial math in collage while the kids that went to private school are taking calculas. Watch this video on youtube “Stupid in America” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx4pN-… and you will see that your parents are giving you a gift that you will benifit from for the rest of your life. And that best in the state school? Well, watch the video and you will see how they compare.

your house is tiny with 7-8 rooms, you get the opportunity to go to a school that is well funded and obviously good….do you realise how much of a selfish little cow youre sounding like?

Yeah, you selfish little cow!

LOL well i wouldn’t say it that way but yeah… it sounds like there is a lot to be grateful for. private school is better — it just is. you will be freer in a sense even if it seems stricter. you are free to make more decisions it seems. i don’t know. i went to public high for two years and private for two years… both are good but i am so very grateful to have gone to private school… you will learn to love it.

also, you should be honest and communicate with your mom about how it makes you feel… without rolling your eyes or having an attitude… sit down and just say to her that this bothers you and you want her to explain. and then you have accept whatever answers she gives because its all she’s got.

things aren’t so bad… believe me. i live in a 4 room house and its plenty of space … life can be good… you just have to admit that it really is.

just tough it out till youre 18, school suckkkssss..private or public, but its something you have to do just like everyone else. You will meet new friends,stay in touch with the friends you are moving from. If you end up going to the private school, make the best of it….stay true to yourself regardless of where you are. And being in the middle of nowhere is the best place to be, good luck.

i am sorry. and your are not a selfish cow. i recently had some ugly word directed towards me in a post and it made me feel really bad… its like this is a place to be vulnerable - a place we are supposed to vent even if it is a reflection of our own weakness… that is why its called “help.com” it is supposed to help. i think people are just trying to provide you with a new perspective on things. it is easy to just be mad at something and not really see it for what its worth. it sounds like there are more issues that just moving out and going to a new school. those things are normal stressors in life - but the fact that your mom is being unclear with you. she is drinking and not realizing how it is affecting her family. there needs to be some sort of open communication perhaps even with a moderator. a slight intervention is in order because truly - your mom is human just like all of us. something is making her feel inadequate or she wouldn’t be acting like that. she makes mistakes and maybe she just needs a listening ear or perhaps she needs someone to intervene and give her a proverbial slap on the face to snap her out of it. i don’t know dude, but i understand that it is frustrating. all i can suggest is to talk about it… really talk about it with her and that seems to be difficult for you lately. i am sorry. :) don’t get too discouraged… something good may come of all this.
