All my life (i'm fourteen) I've lived in this home that i love right next to the school i love and near the friends i love. i might be exagerating, but i don't think i could leave my home until college -- my home and my school are basically my two favorite places to be because no matter what i'm always happy when i'm at either.
problem is, i know for a fact that my dad is thinking about moving. the neighborhood we live in isn't cheap, and his business is slowing. if worse comes to worse i know we're going to move. also if we move, my 8 year old sister won't be able to go to the middle school that i went to -- a school that where know she will get the best. i don't want her to miss out.
what can i do to prevent moving without confronting my parents? i don't think i could cope with moving...i don't know. what can i do?

We moved when our daughters were15 and 12. They hated moving from the house they grew up in.
It took a few months but believe it or not, they ended up liking the new school and friends. We always let them invite their old friends down for a visit. We moved 5 hours away in another state.
Now both are married to 'local boys' and wouldn't move back to the old neighborhood for anything in this world! Ten years after the move they say it was the best move they could have made.
Moving isn't the end of the world and your neighborhood isn't the only nice place to live........be open and be ready for new adventures!

Life is about change sometimes for the better sometimes for the different. You will always have change occur in your life you can and will survive it I promise.
If you stay in the same place until you go to college you still will not see the people you are in school with anymore maybe a few but not many so moving and making new friends is not the end of the world and who knows what new doors will be open to you.
Remember you parents love you more then anybody ever will and they only want what is best for you but they have to consider the family as a whole and what is best for everyone not just you and your sister so try and be supportive. There are going to be times in your life you will have to make unpopular decisions and you will want the support of your family for now it can be your turn to give. Your family will be with you for life friends come and go.

it's hard to move away from that! and it really sucks. but you can't convince your parents otherwise. try to be optimistic if the topic comes up: this is a new opportunity for you to explore a new place, to make new friends, to find another place you love as much as where you are now. that doesn't mean that you have to abandon everything else, but you'll find ways to keep in contact with your old friends, and you can always go back to your current school and say hi to teachers, and drive by your old house. my mom is in her 40s and she still dreams about her old house. and you'll also learn that nothing is permanent in life, and sometimes you have to let things go, but you'll always have memories.
and i know you want the best for your sister, but your middle school isn't the BEST school in the country ;) there will be other good schools, and i know your parents won't let the issue of good school districts slide.

it sounds like you are obviously are against change, change is good once in a while. You are 14 you cannot stop the move. It will be hard but you will adjust.
