here's the situation. in May there is a chance that i will go to the philippines to start school there. i'm already in junior year highschool, and i don't know if i should stay or if i should go. it's been very complicated. half of my family members say that i should just finish school here in america, and the other half say i should go to the philippines so i would be able to experience different things, and learn new stuff. but i'm really not sure what i should do. i've been having alot of issues with some things here and i want to change my enviroment by moving (if that makes any sense) but anyways if i leave i'm not going to be able to see my family and friends for a long time cause i'm going to school there. but the good thing is that i will be able to come back here whenever it's summer break there cause my parents are able to pay for the expenses for example round trip plane ticket. but anyways what should i do i need some input.
thanks for your help.

Personally, I would stay. It's hard enough just going away to school in the same state let alone a different country. I absolutely hated my family and every single person in it (some I still do) and I would do whatever to get out of there. I barely said goodbye to them when I left for MSU. Yet it wasn't even 4-5 weeks later I wanted to go back home for a bit to visit everyone. You will get homesick, trust me; everyone does. There's only one more year left of high school, and that year is by far the best, so spend it with people you know.
I would definitly suggest going away for college though. That's the best. Like before, you will get homesick, but college just isn't the same if you spend it at home.
Good luck

Okk. I completely understand where you coming from. I am a sophomore in high school and was given the oppurtunity to go to college in the fall. I am still undecided because my dad really wants me to go. However think of it this way. We will be missing out on the greatest years of our life. Prom and etc, we be nothing without your friends that you have grown up with. In the four years of high school you will do more growing up then ever before and wouldnt you want to experience that sense of accomplishment with those who have been behind you since day one.
i understand everything. but consider what i said.
but the phillipines i mean wooHOO. heat. lol.
good luck with whatever you decide=]

Think about if you can be from your family that long, in another place without anyone you know...If you think you can than go for it, like you said it is a great experience but like for me i dont want to be away from my family and friends so i wouldnt do it.....Just think about if you would be homesick or not and then decide...do a pro and con list too that helps sometimes!

i think you should do what makes you happier, don't think of what your family wants think of what you, yourself wants.
