i want to move after this semester..influencing my parents?

Question

We have a small vacation house that we talked about moving to this summer before my junior year. we decided not to because i as well as my two younger brothers were worried about dad not being around as much. (my dad will stay in our old town where he owns a business about 3 days every week then drive to the new house, eventually he will sell his business). i really really want to move now and ive told my mom. me and my brother dont really like our schools. my youngest brother is even homeschooled bc there r no good schools for him. this new town has lots more to do and will offer us more opportunity i think. i just REALLY want to move and i think our family would be happier =[
how do i influence my parents to do this at this school years half way point?
please help.
ive told my mom and she just jokes and says "just finish out high school here" but i dont want to i hate my school im just not happy any more.

Answer 1

Sometimes parents know more than children.

They may have reasons you know nothing about for not moving yet.

Do as your parents say and do not put any more stress in to their lives.

Answer 2

Well, I understand you are unhappy where you are now, but that is no guarantee you will be happy starting in the middle of the school year someplace else. It can be really tough trying to break into a new group of ppl in the middle of the year, when everyone has their friendships established. You might be moving "from the frying pan into the fire"; you just don't know. Plus, your mom may be thinking that it will be harder - and lonlier! for her and your dad; because it puts them into a long-distance relationship, so even though I know you are unhappy, she is not just thinking about you. But, she may also be thinking that your studies would take a real hit, if there are some particular requirements that you would need to meet to graduate in a new school.

One way to get your mom to listen to you more seriously, though, would be to pick a time when you are both calm and happy, and tell her - calmly and in a matter-of-fact way - that you really don't think that she understands how much you and your brother hate your schools, and asking her - without being at all angry or pissy - why it is that she has said she wants you to finish out high school where you are. Maybe she has other reasons we have not thought of - but then you could have a real, mature discussion about it. You would be more likely to get somewhere if you can have a calm factual mature discussion, because she will be more open with you if you don't approach it in a whiney or argumentative way. Good luck!
