My daddy is sending me to a STRICT boarding school, against my will. I am DISGUSTED as my expectation was that he would be sending me somewhere posh and much more prestigious. Rather this school appears to be designed to BREAK MY SPIRIT. Further there are no boys, and we must wear uniforms, take ROTC and have roommates. The school also warned me I better not give them any trouble OR ELSE. My daddy said if he gets a call that I am SCREWING AROUND and has to come out there (it's like 600 miles), that I can count on getting "ONE HECK OF AN $SS BEATING." My daddy said I had my chance and BLEW IT, and this will teach me NOT TO BE SO SPOILED. I don't think so!
I have to work the rest of this week and then I only get a few days of freedom. I also need to break up with my boyfriend, which should not be too hard as he only loved me for pleasure
I will miss my friends so much and the once spoiled carefree life I leave behind. How can I get the most out of my final 10 days???

Emawee - guess what, you have a new impostor, it's someone named Emmawee asking a bunch of lesbian oriented questions and her avatar looks like yours.
I have her in my Q&A.

Well Lori it will seem strange to not see any of your questions.I will miss you, as strange as that may seem.I think if I were you I'd try spend as much time with my friends and family as I could. Try to keep an open mind on this new venture and look at it as an opportunity to make new friends and experience new things.. I have a feeling nothing can break your spirit. You seem to have a zest for life.I think you are far more intelligent than some of your questions reflected.I wish you well in all you do.Try to let us know that you are doing ok.Take care.

ROTC isn't that bad. My fiance works for the government as a cook for the ROTC, and they give all the recruits stress cards for when the seargents are too rough. Just tuck in your laces and don't stand out. Its a bunch of marching and standing and learning how to turn. Be prepared to lose your vioce, they also teach you how to yell. Its a good workout in all. You'll be fine as long as you keep your mouth shut and don't yell back.
Break up with him tomorrow and go have fun with your friends for now. You won't have much fun laying on your back, so what good is he. Have a booty call two days before you leave. And have that last encounter til you get back.
When you're gonna go, let us all know, ok. Four or five days beforehand, since I'm not on here too much nowadays. I'm gonna miss you lori, but your daddy loves you, so much that he's making sure you get a decent education from teachers that aren't inbred.
Work that uniform, and stay out of the office, you'll be fine.
they're not your daddy, so no back talk. Be a well-behaved young lady, like you are, and surprise the crap out of them stuffd shirts.

Lori--
Wow. 9 days left? Man, are we going to miss you! Please stay in touch; I hope to hear from you soon.
Anyway, there are probably lots of fun things left in your town you haven't done. If I were you, I'd plan myself a goodbye party and invite everyone. Get exact contact info as well as facebook and myspace because I know you'll sign up for that as soon as you can.
And speaking of facebook, I think you should explain to your daddy that if you get facebook this week, you could add yourself to your new high school's network and meet some girls so you have friends going in, maybe even your future roommate!
I would also--though it may be very hard and sad--go visit your mother's grave before you go. Lori, I know this will be very depressing, but go and lay flowers. Say goodbye. It'll be a good sense of closure before you leave.
On a more fun note, why don't you do touristy stuff? I live in Los Angeles, so that's completely different for me, but come on, there's got to be touristy stuff near where you live!
Mend any arguments. Apologize to people you've done bad things to, and try to come closer to reconciliation with those who've done bad to you. With this, I mean your former classmates. I also mean Jillian and Mark. Please try with Jillian. I think if you could crack through this messy surface, you'd find a lot in common, and you could do fun stuff, like write letters comparing dorms, etc.
Research the area surrounding the school (or tell me where it is and I will!) so you know what you can do when you're given time off campus.
Find out as much as you can about the different extracurriculars so you have some idea of what you can do.
And finally, say goodbye. You'll never really have the same relationships with people again. So make sure that you leave off on a good note with as many people as possible. You don't want to come back for senior year and find out that everyone's gossiping, do you??
Good luck, Lori! I'm awaiting your emails. Best wishes to you!
Your dear answers friend,
Victoria

Try to start thinking about this new venture in a postive light-your attitude has a great deal to do with how this all turns out. It may seem very harsh at first, but think of it as a new adventure, you will meet new people and expand your life's horizons. Best of luck.

Or the parent is asserting "i choose you to have the terrific initiate in existence i can probable provide you". I plan to place my little ones in boarding college while they are 13. And in case you do unlike that concept nice, do not placed your very own baby in boarding college. do not b*tch approximately different father and mom who DO ascertain to try this. I stay close to the distinctive terrific boarding faculties in England. and that i bear in recommendations being fairly jealous of each and every of the little ones who went there. The training they have been given a techniques surpasses mine. EDIT: you realize, i ought to counter this with "why have young ones while you are going to deliver them to public college for 8 hours an afternoon once you ought to easily domicile college them...?"

I don't think a boarding school will teach you what your dad wants you to learn. If my parents sent me to a boarding school against my will I'd probably not talk to them again(of course my parents would never do that to me).
About spending your last 10 days, spend it with all your friends. Maybe you'll see them again when you're done with school.

A good heaping helping of perspective will do you good, from the sound of things. Maybe instead of trying to have fun your final ten days at home, you should work at repairing your relationship with your father and stop thinking only of yourself. Really, you sound about as self-absorbed as they come.
