How can i convince my parents that i dont want to move?

Question

so i am i guess moving to california but i really dont want to leave all the friends in az. they think it will be a new beginning for me and everything and i know if we move there we are just going to have to move back casue my dad will get a new job or something. how can i tell them i dont want to go? by the way i have brothers ones 16 and ones 18 and a sister. do you think we could live out here in our house we have right now or are we underage to live alone or something

Answer 1

If they already bought a house, thats $500,000-100,000,000 down the drain. I doubt your parents are going to let the 4 of you live alone. Keep intouch with your friends though.

Answer 2

just suck it up and move it sucks. but hey thats life.

Answer 3

tell them you would really miss your friends

Answer 4

im sorry, but you dont really have a choice. on the plus side, you may be able to get a dog out of it.

Answer 5

Sorry, it doesn't sound like you really have much of an option. If your parents have decided you're moving to California the best thing is going to be to try to make it a positive experience. My family moved a lot when I was growing up and it was hard sometimes to start over and make new friends but ultimately I think it was really good for me. You're not going all the way across the country or anything and you can still keep in touch with the friends you are close to now. Who knows, you may love it! Best of luck.

Answer 6

Since you do have a 18 year old brother, I think it would be okay, but I don't know the laws there, and it probably wouldn't be a good idea..too much money =/

Answer 7

Unless your 18-year-old brother is willing and demonstrably able to take care of the four of you on his own (more or less - at 16 the jobs you could get pay a pittance, another punishment for being young), you're pretty well hosed. You're more or less your parents' property until enough seconds have gone by for you to count as a person, and until the proper number have added up, your opinions are a f**t in the wind. Galling may it be (and believe me, I fill my words with venom towards parents and the laws that empower them, not towards you), there's really nothing forceful you can do if they don't care enough to take your opinions into account. (Of course, they'll simper and whine and claim they're ignoring your wishes and considerations for your own good, because they "know better," or something. It's every inch as hollow as it sounds - nobody knows your life like you do.)

Answer 8

get your siblings & you to tie yourself and liek chain to the tree theyll know your serious:)

Answer 9

ugh that sucks i fell your pain

i had to move from Michigan where i grew up to California it sucked

i didn't have a say if i wanted to move or not but i told them every day i didn't want to and we still moved and i hate them every day because of it, yes i made new great friends whom i love but i can't see the friends i grew up with and went through big ordeals with and i had to leave my first crush

moving sucks but it is really your parents decision and your 18 year old brother would have to take you all in and act like a parent

but at least you are going to move back so you can just look forward to that

Answer 10

sit down with them and have a heart 2 heart talk about how much it would change you life and how you wouldnt do well adapting to a new place. or get in contact with his new job and curse his boss out and then you definatley wont move...just playing but your 18 year old brother is probaly able to take care of you all legally

Answer 11

To live by yourself would be pretty hard since you, your brother, and sister haven't lived alone before you'll do something wrong. Even if your parents send you money the chance are you won't spend it on the right thing. Just go if you said your coming right back. Before you know it you'll be back home. You just have to wait it'll all work out how it's suppose to. But staying there by yourself is not smart at all.

Answer 12

i totally agree with jessica suck it up !!

Answer 13

Your parent may not let you remain. Yeh, you will miss your freinds, but what you can do is try to negociate wtih them inorder to visit regularly so your friend won't be left out.

Answer 14

if your brother can afford paying the monthly mortage then sure it would work.

jsut tell them you will miss all your friends and that your life cant get any better then it is in AZ.

or you can make a list of like how bad california is and how much better arizona is.

or you can just begg none stop and do the puppy face:]
