I'm 15 years old and i want to move up to my sisters state. We're not having issues at home, dont get me wrong, i love my parents and we get along great but its just that i dont want to continue to live here in Texas.
I'm ready to move back to where i came from, my parents cant move unless they find someone to buy our house. But awhile ago, my mom and i had a talked about where she can let me move when i'm in 11th grade [i'm in 10th grade now], so thats this year.
But i'm not sure if she was serious or not. I will live with my sister and my parents will follow me up there as soon as they find someone to buy the house.

I would wonder why you would want to run out on your parents so soon before you all could leave together. You are 15 in three short years you will be 18 and you can graduate and move out on your own. It will not make a difference to you if you move this year or next. Your parents need you there to help them cope with their bad times. Why would you put a burden on your sister too. Look deep into your heart and see if you are running away from your parents becasue you are truly afraid of where you are or you are just leaving because you think life will be better somewhere else. Your place is really with your parents, your sisters life is where she is. Be strong and pay your dues in your family. If your parents sell their house then you all can move together. Be paitient, I know you think it is a long time but stay with your parents, work hard at what you are doing in school, and support your parents and your love for them will grow more than you ever expect it to. Your sister will love you more for being so grown up and not running way from your problems and giving her more responsibility to have you with her at the time she is starting her own life. If there is not reason to leave home except that you are just not liking your place now, then stay. If you have trouble in the home like child abuse, or mental abuse, or trouble with school peers then don't run seek other help. Good Luck

I sort of did this when I was in 11th grade. But I lived with my brother and his family during the week and went on home on weekends. (It was only an hour away). It was good in some ways but as a mother now I would not want my kid living away from me for very long. Your parents have such a short time left to have you home and teach what else they want to teach you for life. I would list all the pro on one side of a paper and the cons on another side and than I would pray about it. If my parents weren't committed to moving I would not move. The pros for me were that I got closer to my brother and sister in law. I also saw how she ran her house and I learned some new stuff. I also grew up some.
Good luck!

Well, it would be better for you to move during the summer instead of during the school year so that changing schools will go more smoothly.
An appeal to quality of education is usually effective when dealing with parents.
If you're going to stay in your sister's state, it would also make sense to spend your final 2 years at the same school rather than splitting them up.
