i think that's good that your mom wants your opinion too and those other people that said she's a bad parent are wrong in my opinion. i think that you should move though. i mean there's always the internet to keep in touch with friends and a move might help you grow. however i don't know what is exactly going on with your life so i don't know. maybe you could compromise and say that you will move at the end of the school year.
good luck

Its an adventure, there are many who become 30 years old in their town, and have never lived anywhere else. They typically become old and die in that same town. You should take this first step into the world as a life lesson that you can go anywhere you want, and be anything that you want. For your mother, moving is nothing more than a job, or relationship that she wants to develop in, and that is exactly that it should be for you. When, you are a bit older, you can call your friends in your current town and meet them somewhere new. Or, when you go of to college you may see them at the same campus and catch up then. You mother probably has many relatives that live in different states, and aside from them she has friends that live in different states. That may seem far to you right now, but when you get a car it will only be a matter of how much you want to spend on gas.
Go, do what you mother tells you and take chances. There are probably some pretty cool people at your new school, and who knows, maybe one of them is related to your best friend. Maybe you wil meet a very attractive person and get married, or maybe you will learn something you would have never learned in your town.
Life is what you make it, always strive for something more than ordinary.

Yes. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience new things and to meet new friends. If you would have had a choice to move where you are now, you probably would have felt the same way. You are only going to be an hour away and that is not so far that you can't see any of your friends that you have now. Go for it. Life has tons of life to offer. Don't deny good adventures and if you Mom didn't think it would be a good move, she would not move. Moms know the world better than we do. That is what they do. She respects your input or she would just up-root and move without asking your opinion about it. Give you and her a chance to do this together and I'm sure you'll be satisfied and will look back on this like, wow I'm glad I moved.

Every situation has it's own circumstances. I wouldn't move if I were your parent. I would rather suffer the hardship than my kids. I didn't move once because my daughter didn't want to go to a different bus stop (but same school), LOL!
When I was in 2nd grade, my parents moved and it caused me a lot of hardships that parents don't even take into consideration. It wouldn't have mattered to them either way so I never brought it up...well, what kind of argument can a 2nd grader bring anyway, right? Anyway, it's good that your mom asked you. Tell her EXACTLY what your concerns are. Not saying that it will have any effect, but at least she'll know how you feel.

I think if your mother says she has good reasons, and YOU say she has good reasons, then you should think about it.
Just look at the big picture; will it be better for you and your mom to stay where you are now or for you to move and experience new things?
Oh, and one other thing: don't decide whether or not to uproot your life (as you know it) on my say so, or anyone else that answers. Cuz, you know. We're strangers.

move for her sake and you can make alot of new friends and keep relationships with the old ones. why private school? if theres a good reason like its safer then great but if its for some lame reason then say yes you will move if you can pick the school

If your mom has really good reasons to move, why is she asking your permission? I assume you are still a minor? Than she should take the bull by the horns & do what she has to do to better her/your life! You can still email & IM your friends & summer vacation is coming! Good luck!

Yes you should want to make your mother happy. You said it was a good reason. You will only be one hour away you can see your friends often.

This shouldn't be your decision. Bad parents will often have children make decisions that are theirs to make. Tell your mom that whatever she decides is OK with you. Help her become a better mother.

Yes, your mom knows what is best. It is very kind of her to hear your opinions, but she is the adult and is ultimately responsible for the decision that is made. Trust her.
