How do i convince my parents to move?

Question

Ok. My parents and sisters and I all moved to Chesterton from Hammond. But the kids here are ruining my life. my grades are slipping. BUt we just built a house that was around 500,000. it wouldnt be fair to my parents. and my lil sister that is 10 dun like it either. How can we convince them that we have to move? WE also both want to move back to Lake County and only my mom does but my dad is the answer. what he says goes. so what should i do to persuade my parents to move? cuz i have never been depressed before i moved here. it sux the kids are so cruel my friends hate me. i need to go. and my sis is so quiet here. it isnt right she used to be shy but outgoing now she is so shy it isnt funny.

Answer 1

Talk 2 ur dad. BEG!!!!!!!!!! If he still says no, stomp up to your room to prove that u mean it, but don't break anything and dont stomp 2 loud. Give ur dad the silent treatment if u want 2 or just barely talk 2 him. Tell him about ur sis, tell him about how it sux, then let him think it throu.

Well sweetie the best you can do is make the best of it, everyone at your school can't be as bad as you think you are. These people you are calling "friends" don't seem like they deserve that name at all. I know exactly what you're going through. We moved from my hometown to Vallejo almost 7 years ago and when I first moved here I hated it. I even cried on my first day of school. I missed all my old friends and teachers, but I met some people who befriended me and it made everything better. But there was a time when I didn't have friends and I felt like everyone hated me. So I hung out in the library by myself! Don't let what other people do effect what you have to do. Your grades shouldn't be slipping if it's because the work is harder, study harder and longer. Sometimes you just have to stand alone in order to be stronger. Life isn't always what you want. If your father is anything like my father, I understand how stubborn he can be. If you ask him to move, it won't change anything. If he had the house built it sounds pretty costly, that would be hundreds of thousands of dollars thrown down the drain. That wouldn't be fair to him. I'm sure he didn't expect it to be like that for you. As for your sister, she's only ten, spend some time with her. Turn her into your new best friend until another one comes along. I know that she's only ten and you want someone your own age, but the time spent with her will do you both some good. Until you find some good friends hang out in the library or in a teacher's classroom, you'll meet other kids who are focused. They can not only help you with your grade problem but they'll be there for you. Not everyone who hangs out in the library are devoid of having fun. If you ever need to talk and you feel like you don't have anyone else, I'm 17(Seniors rule!!!!) so I understand, just email me! I'm always here for you babe!!Good luck sweetie.

Well, as a parent if something like this happened and the effect might be my kid going through depression or worse I would move. It may take a couple of long heart to hearts with your parent's (dad) but hopefully you could find a solution. You are everything to your parents and if your not going to move then maybe they could let you change schools? I hope you get your wish but remember at the same time that getting used to a new place takes time and in the end the new town might grow on you. Try to hang out with your sis and help boost her self esteem. Maybe go to the movies or miniature golfing? Good luck, moving is never fun, hope you guys can figure something out that works for everyone.

Answer 4

Well, they are not friends if they hate you. Why did your family move there in the first place? Why does your dad have the final say? If everyone is unhappy there then your father should rethink his reasons for being there. A family meeting is in order and everyone needs to quietly give their reasons for not liking it there or in your dad's case, why he wants to be there. I hope this can be resolved. If not, you will just have to make the best of it. Your friends cannot make your grades slip, by the way. You need to settle down and study and forget the bullies. I know that is hard but there must be some nice kids at your school. Join some clubs in or out of school and make friends with your interests. Give your sister the same advice.

Answer 5

Tell them how you feel. So you might not be able to move, but you could go to a better school.

I've moved 6 times in 10 years, and kids can be cruel to new students. Just tough it out, you'll be okay no matter what. Like I said, there are other schools in that town, and your parents will want your happiness. But face it, they won't move.

Answer 6

Tell them what you wrote here. Maybe they can sell the house and make a prophet. If you r having a hard time, tell ur parents about it. theyll understand, they were once ur age.....a long time ago...i just told y parents that I'm not a little girl anymore and that I wanted to be treated like a 14 year old girl should. They understood. If I can tell my parents that, than you can tell ur parents this

Answer 7

How long have you been living there? I know it sucks in the beginning, but you need to give it time. You will settle down and make new friends eventually. The kids at school as just testing you now because you are the new kid.

Answer 8

Ask your Daddy if he has ten minutes to listen to you. Tell him just what you asked, sure he is a reasonable man and wants the very best for you.
He might make some money by selling .

Answer 9

If you live with your parents, you can't suggest anything. Just hold out till' your 18, go to college, and move out.
