i am 16 and in school and i am a junior. during summer i went to colombia for vacation. it was the first time i went but i loved it. i loved it so much i didnt want to leave. and now every day i think about colombia and i would like to go and try to live there. if i would go live there i would have a place to live and there are schools there. i know how to speak spanish and i can read and write it a little. i know it will be a big change because i live in New York City and the place i want to live in is Calarca which is a small town of about 80000 people. but everyday i think about going there. i know school will be hard and that everything will become a routine but i still want to go. i felt so much more happy there than i do here in new york. i have family there and i plan on finishing school. but how do i tell my mom. she wants me to finish high school but i cant wait. my dad is planning on moving there so i probable could go with him. what should i do.

One thing i could do is study something my uncle did. it is something having to do with business and i like it. he lives in colombia and he studied there and he was able to find a good paying job here in the usa. so i think i can study that there and if i decide to come part i can do what he did. i just dont remember what it is called.

and i have thought about my future. but i still want to go there. if i go were to go now i go try it out and if i didnt like it i could come but and finish school. but if i decide to stay i can finish school there and study something that i could do there and here in the usa like my uncle did. i like business and i could study that and i plan on opening one some day maybe one in colombia and one in new york. i that if i finish school there that it is not the same as finishing it here. but my uncle was able to live there and go to school there and work in the usa making real good money.

Are your parents divorced???
Anyway... I'm not sure whether it's a good idea or not...
Maybe you should try it for a half year or a year and than decide from there... Think it over and over again...
After that short period (6 month) of experience make a list of the things you like and dislike...
The facilities, the schools, the people and environment... Was it all worth it???
Is there a future in there... Jobs etc... Can you make a living over there???
You are only 16 years of age...
If your parents are divorced than I guess you can try to go with your father for a little while and if things doesn't work out go back to your mother... But you have to discuss everything first with both your parents... I think both should agree... Give you a green light to go...
Otherwise it would be a difficult for you to leave...
Meaning if you go without your mothers blessing... You will feel miserable all the time when you live miles away from your mom...
It's better to go with a clear conscience and no regrets...
Go have your talk with your mom... Don't talk TO her but really talk WITH her... There's a difference in talking to and talking with someone...
Keep that in mind...
Wish you luck...

I'd discuss it with both parents and let them make some kind of agreement. Hopefully, you can go and fulfill your dreams. Otherwise, if you can't go just yet, settle down into your school, do well and when you finish, you can be on your own. But, it would be difficult going there, with no money or a job. You sound as though you are level headed. Think of the future and not just what you'd like to do now. At least, you have dreams and will be able to make your own decisions soon enough. Don't grow up too fast.

I think you should wait until you finish high school. If you move to Columbia and finish there your diploma may not be worth as much as an American one, and if you decide to come back here in the future you may find it hard to get a job without a diploma from an American school.

Since you are 16 & so close to getting your diploma you should stay here for a little while, get your diploma then go. You'll make your mom happy & you'll have many happy years in Colombia.
