I am currently in the 9th grade. I am badly wanting to transfer schools. I live 2 hours away from the shool I want to transfer to. My family(grandparents, cousins, ect.) live near and go to that school. The problem is, my mother will not let me transfer. I want to transfer schools because my family goes to that school and I have no family at my current school, and my boyfriend of 6 years goes to that school and I haven't seen him for 2 years. My grandparents(60 & 64) will let me stay with them until school is out next school year. This school year ends in approximatly 65 days. My grandparents don't show their ages-they are constantly on the move and are in great health. I don't really understand why my mother will not let me transfer schools. Can someone please help me talk my mom into letting my transfer?
Thanks!

I would be living with my grandparents(my moms parents)and I would get to see my mom every other weekend....and I would be staying with my grandparents just for the school year. when school is over in the summer, I would stay with my mom..

She wont let you because she wants you living at home.

i hate not to give you the answer you're looking for, but i think your mom is right. the issue isn't really about going to school with your family, is it? it's really about you wanting to see the boyfriend. i'm also a little confused...you're in 9th grade and you've been dating this guy for *six* years? since you were what, 8? and you haven't seen him in two years? let him go and make friends at your own school. your mother is being understandably protective, and she doesn't want her young daughter to run off to be with a guy and be unable to watch over you. it seems reasonable that a mother would want to be able to be a parent to her daughter while she still can.
why not try to compromise with her? ask if every once in a while she will take you to visit for a weekend, or ask if you can take a bus to stay with your grandparents for a couple days. that seems completely reasonable. perhaps if she sees you acting responsibly and doing well at your own school, she'll be more willing to give you the freedom to visit.

All the reasons you listed have absolutely nothing to do with your education. Your mother knows best and I think you should be a little more concerned with your education and a little less with your social life.
