Answer 1

well... convice your dad not to be so overprotective and greedy and convince your sister and mom not to go but if I were you I'll go with your sister and mom...

Answer 2

Sounds like you don't like your father much. He is being a typical dad except for the greedy part. You say nothing of your mother.

If your over 18 you can do what you want to, stay or go or move out. If you are under 18, and still going to school, then bite the bullet and stay with your dad until you finish school.

May dampen your social life but if you move out you may find you made a mistake.

There are far worse things in this life than an over protective dad, believe me. That means he loves you and wants to keep you safe. So does your mother I am sure.

I know you will not believe all this now but in just a few years you will look back at this and know what the right thing to do was.

I hope you find out now what that is.

On your mothers side. Change is always difficult and no matter how old you get it doesn't get much better. But it is part of life and you need to step up to it. Looking back you will not be sorry.

Answer 3

Well it sounds like you are not really pleased with your dad right now, to say the very least. Personally, I couldn't live somewhere with someone like that. I would say try out New York. I'd be better than having to put up with 'dad'. Plus it's New York City for Christ's-Sakes! How do you 'know' that you will be bored there? I've never been, but there has got to be a million and one different things to do there at any time of day. It is the city that never sleeps after all. And there are all sorts and kinds of people there. Sounds like you need more independent time to yourself. It might be good to get away from dad and do more things you want.

Answer 4

Okay, just for a while, forget about your mom and dad and sister. Seems like your more concerned about the life that each city has to offer and obviously you're gonna want to choose what you know over something new. So yeah, apart from your dad, you're having fun where you are right now but how do know that things can't get better? I mean c'mon it's NY. I say try it and see. If you don't like it, I'm sure you could always move back. Just don't count NY out because you're afraid of change. Look at the city you're living in right now and say, "you know what, this is good but there's always room for more good". Try it! You'll never know unless you do.

Answer 5

Remember this, change is good. If you're having that many problems with your dad, then you probably won't be happy. You may also "be in his way". If you stay home with your dad, what really makes you think that you're gonna have so much fun. If he's that overprotective, maybe he won't even allow you to go out. Every place has it's own way of doing things, it's own customs. Moving to a new place is scary. But sometimes the unknown is a challenge to us. In a larger city, you'll have more opportunities to advance yourself or even get a better job than where you're at right now. My opinion is for you to go with your mom, and if things don't work out, perhaps you can always go back to dad. Give it try, and be patient. You may be glad you did. Best of luck to you.........

Answer 6

Go with the family to NYC. Take a chance, its a big city with tons of people and Im sure you will find some people that you will become great friends with, but if you stay where you are now with a dad you will not enjoy living with, why would you stay with him? Take a chance, change is a good thing, im not saying it wont be tough for a few weeks, but once you get used to it i think you will see that you made the right choice in going.

Answer 7

Don't know where you currently live, but NYC could be a fun and exciting change. Not all of NYC is "bad" or has "bad schools." Of all the adjectives I can think of to describe NYC, boring would not be one of them. Why not try NYC for a few months and see what it is like. And give it an honest try. You might find that you really like it. If not, you could always move back home with your Dad. E=If you try it you will at least broaden your horizons and grow from the experience.

Answer 8

New York City has lots of club life and various forms of cultural entertainment, even some that would be available to a high schooler. Learning the city can be an adventure itself. There is an extensive bus network and a lot of subways.

I think you would be happier in New York.

Answer 9

Go to New York ,things are never the same as expected.Try something new and New York is a great city with lots of stores with cute clothes and accessories!

Answer 10

Wow, never been through that situation . . . I say try out New York. If you haven't lived there before, how do you know it will suck? Maybe making new friends and living somewhere new will be exciting. If you don't like it, then move back in with your greedy dad.

Answer 11

Its like picking the lesser of two bad situations. You need to weight your pros and cons on this one. But I must say you have never lived in new york so you really have no frame of reference. You know what its like to live with your dad but you have no idea what awaits you in new york. Keep all this in mind as you sort through all of this. Good Luck!
