I am so dead. My mom wants us to go back to our country. I live in America, California. My mom hates almost all our relatives. Well, the main ones i guess. She hates my dad, my grandma, my dad's grandma, lets just put it, she hates all of my dad's family. And her family too. So I guess I can put it that way. Anyway, she says we are leaving in a month. Guys, I know 5 words of my language (Czech). I used to be perfect in my language, but thats before I moved to America. Now, I only know like 5 words. And I'm perfect at English. I dont want to go. I mean, I will be like a foreigner to my own country. But I dont care, I wanna stay here. I know you guys are like, well you will learn it back. Well, I dont know, I dont wanna go. That sickening place. My mom says we are leaving, NO COMMENTS. She says she has saved up money for the flight. How much is a flight to Frankfurt, Germany? Anyone know? And then to Prague, Czech Republic. Continues..

Well, I hope she spends it all on cigarettes (the saved up money) I know cigarettes are dangerous, but shes been smoking them since the age of 16 so its cool. Anyway shes like -200$ in her bank account. So somehow she says shes got the saved up money. What should I do? I dont think i can convince her. Any ideas?

Tell your dad. Tell him that you do not want to leave. Ask him to fight for your rights.

The flight will be very expensive, and she can't just take you without your dad's permission - as your father, he has an equal right to custody over you. Whether or not he chooses to use it is up to him, and he won't know that you want to stay unless you talk to him about it.
Give your mom a few days to cool down, and then tell her that you really don't want to leave America. Ask her to compromise and simply move to a different part of the country from the relatives she hates. Remind her that you love her very much, but you really want to stay here, and it's not fair to suddently uproot you like this.

I think you should reserch where your are going and look at the high points because You really can not do anything since you are only 13. Maybe you could tell your mom all the good things about america and what she would be making you leave behind. Also because you already knew how to speak the language it will come back to you very quicly.

Many times at age 13 a child is allowed to choose which parent they want to be with.
Call DHS (Department of Human Services) and ask for help. If they can't help, they can guide you to the right people. You could even call the Police - tell them you are desperate. It sounds like you are!! Can your Dad not stop her?
Your Mom may not be thinking clearly and not in your best interests. If she only has $200.00, that is not enough money to make the trip.

Were you born in America? Is there any way you can stay with your father? I am guessing that this is an agonizing and crushing thing for you.
On the other hand, this may be the adventure of a lifetime. Not too many young men get to be world travellers! I wish there was more I could do for you. We are here to help, anytime. We are just a mouse click away, and you can add us to your contact list....Good luck Peter! Nana

You're going to Europe, dude! Prague! It's an amazing place, and very beautiful. And, you have the incredible advantage of already speaking Czech. Your language skills, if you were ever fluent, will come back to you amazingly fast, so don't worry about that. If you're going and it sounds like you are, you might as well enjoy it. I know I would.

Try and explain to your mom that you really really want to stay in the US. Tell her how you feel but try not to be all about the negatives of her country...that will just make her mad. Tell her you love your life here and you really don't want to give that up. Ask her if it would be possible to move to another section of California, away from the family or maybe another state all together. Try to compromise and don't say flat out no.

Wow, that's not good. Try to talk to her about it. Or see if your dad can get custody of you. If your 18 you can stay here anyway. But if she won't listen go to your dad or even a grandparent and tell them you want them to have custody of you. You are old enough in court you would have a say.

talk to your dad i don't think she can just take you to the other side of the planet without your dads permission.i don't know how long you have been here but i think you have a better chance for a good life here.tell your dad you want to stay with him,hopefully your parents can work things out for the best solution.good luck.

You don' say how old you are...but if you are a minor, than short of asking to stay with your father and his relatives, you have no recourse. You will have to do as she says. You can try to talk CALMLY to her...explain to her how you feel, etc. Then ask if you can stay behind with relatives, friends...etc. As for flight prices, you can look that up yourself on airline websites. Good Luck.

you don't say how old you are because after a certain age you can deside who you wan't to live with, your mom or dad. Will your dad let you live with him? or a grandparent or aunts & uncles? I think if you let both sides of your family know how you feel then something can be worked out.
