I'm 56, raised 2 kids and was an elem teacher. Good communication with your mom is extremely important even if you have to involve a neutral 3rd party. She probably doesn't remember being 13 and how hard the move can be on you. It sounds like you have a single mom, I was a single mom and they get pretty stressed out just trying to survive and often can't listen as well as a mom should and that would include me too because we have to be both mom and dad. But it is important that you can express your true feelings about this move and not just be blown off as if adults have all the answers. It could really affect your relationship with your mom in a very negative way if she doesn't at least hear you out and try to compromise in some way Good luck.

You didn't say why your mom wanted to make this move.
Do you know why?
Maybe she has no choice because of the job situation or some other reason that is important to her. You need to sit her down and talk to her. Find out why she wants to move. I know you are only 13 and it may seem that it is the end of the world to you. But get her to tell you why the move has to be made and then if it is important than you should try to understand that maybe she does know what is best for both of you. You are young and even though it will be tough, you will be able to make new friends. It is probably hard for her as well. And she might need you to give her support right now. And if it isn't important, then try to get her to see how important it is for you to stay. You both need to compromise, and work it out.

The most difficult aspect of your request is your mother. The reason why your mother is insisted is because she needs you. She's going to be lonely without you. She knows that when you get older you are going move on in different directions, but for now she wants to spend as much time with you.
If your mom make another arrangements for you to stay with relatives, at least consider how your mom will feel if she leaves you? It won't be easy for her...Also keep in mind that you can always stay in contact with your friends by phone and computer, and you can visit them on special days. You can never loose your friends, and you can always make some new ones, but you will always have just one mom...God bless

well i really don't think that there is much you can do in this situation. for whatever reason, your mother feels like this move is best for your family and you should leave that to her good judgment. Learn to accept the things in your life that you cannot change. Good luck in the new city.

move
you don't have a choice. you are a minor.
Don't think you can't enjoy your life elsewhere. Give it a try. You might really, really like it.
