I'm in the 8th grade and have just moved to Wellington, Florida from Tallahassee, Florida because my dad's job. I Absolutely hate it here and really miss my friends. I used to be kinda popular at my old school and had great, cool, and funny friends. But over here I'm just lonely. I would do almost anything to move back to Tallahassee and my friend called me saying that I could stay with him in his house for the year and go back to school at my old school. I asked my parents and they said no because I would be away from them and they would miss me. I tried telling them that I would visit often and my friend's family was great. Also, I could take high school credit classes if i stayed with my friend so this is for educational purposes. It is a 6 hour car ride, but I am willing to do that every weekend if I have to, I'm not going to give up soon. But, none of this seems to be working and I even begged them(like I said before I would do almost anything to go back to my school and friends). I told them that everybody would be happy because I get to spend time with my friends and work on my education and they won't miss me that much because I will visit often. I don't know why any of this hasen't worked yet. So my question is what else can I do to convince my parents to let me stay with my friend in his nice house because I really need to go to my old school,I'm really sad here. Thanks I really need help with this.

It's time to close that old book and get used to reading a new book, I know it's tough on you I can understand that but you see all your doing is making it a lot worse for you and for your parents because your making them feel like they haven't been providing for you as good as they thought. Maybe it is time for a new beginning make new friends don't act like the friends you've always known will be the only ones you will have for the rest of your life. Think of this as an opportunity to meet new probably much funnier people where you live. This is still a chance to get involved with others at your new school, don't be afraid. Who knows maybe ask your parents if over the weekends you can go visit you friends that way you won't forget about them, believe me you friends won't be crying about the fact that your gone, they'll miss you for a couple of weeks then get over. Maybe you should too. Friends are cool but family is forever.

Just be yourself. It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else.
