Nobody makes fun of me or anything but I always finish my homework and classwork during class with like 25 minutes left of class. It gets very boring and sometimes get in trouble and people are always asking for my help and worst of all some famous private school is accepting me for free because of my academic achievements and my parents are planning to accept it. The problem is that I dont want to go. I heard Its horrible and the punishments are unusually cruel oh yeah it is also 3 hours away from my house so I will have to move and we currently cant find an apartment that allows pets in the area so my dogs will have to go to the shelter. I also wont ever see my friends EVER again. Have any suggestions on how to convince my parents to not move?
I am not willing to just make new friends or just get new dogs.

Well why not tell your parents what you've heard about this school?
Why are you so afraid of punishments? Do the right thing and don't cause trouble... then you won't have to worry... right?
If you have a job why not offer to pay your parents to care for you dogs until you can find an apartment that allows them to stay with you?
You should also confront you parents about how you feel. Let them know that you appreciate their support in helping you get into a better school, but you like your current school and you want to stay there.
Remember... moving isn't what any kid wants to do, but sometimes we don't get a choice. You can always make new friends. Truthfully, it's your parents house and rules... what they say goes. Life will go on. They're not trying to ruin your life, in the long run... it might just be the best decision that happened.

I moved 21 times by the time I was 19.It isnt fun, but I lived through it.We moved because my mom was NEVER happy ANYWHERE we lived.
You are moving because your parents want you to excel in life.I wish to GOD my parents had ,had HALF that much interest in my education.
It isn't fun moving BUT you may find out that the NEW friends you make ,you will wonder"man how did I get along without these people and what if we had not moved?
I may not have EVER met that wonderful girl or my best friend!"
Hang in there.

You know what? Your parents want what is best for you, regardless of how much you like or dislike it. Ultimately, going to the gifted school is what is better for you, as it will open more doors for you later on in life. You will get used to the changes, probably enjoy school more, make new firends, and you can still keep in contact with your old friends.

Gosh, it does seem tough and I won't deny that it is, but see this as a stepping stone in life. You'll be much wiser for this experience and be able to counsel other kids who may have to face moving to a whole new world and have to leave the old one behind.
Embrace your trials and turn them into learning lessons! Best of luck to you!

Liar, you love it, lol.
It's not a fault you know. Tell everyone it bothers to step up to your level. In 10yrs, you'll be wealthy and what they think won't matter anymore
