How do you convince your parents to not switch your school?

Question

I desperately want to stay at my current school and I've tried everything to convince...them. Right now im at the giving them the silent treatment stage. But idk if theyre bying it :( I NEED HELP AND FAST!

Answer 1

Hire a friend that they dont know to pretend like they got hurt at the school

Answer 2

Tell them, you met your dream guy at the new school, and get a picture of the most horrid person you can think of and take a picture of him  (Make sure he's either very lupey, or extreme in emo, gang bangers, or black gangsta if you're white or neo-n**i if you're a minority).  They'll definitely not want you in that school if they love you.  Better yet, get 2 or three of them, and say they want to be my boyfriends together and I don't know what to do.  Then they'll freak out and definitely not send you to that school, or any other school.

Answer 3

Why not go to a new school? I am, and I have... you could meet alot of amazing people that you havent met yet.

Answer 4

Threaten to drop out.

Answer 5

They just want the best for you. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do in a situation like this. Why are they switching you anyway? There's gotta be a reason.

Answer 6

Ever notice that parents listen to adults more than people younger than them? Find out why they are changing your school. Try to compromise. i.e. If you don't change my school, I will try to bring up my grades. If you want them to listen you have to be respectful of them and show them that you are not a kid. Because remember they don't always listen to kids seriously. Put some effort into our argument. If this is something you care about you have to really think about it and present your side of the argument respctfully and clearly to your parents.

Answer 7

Are you moving or switching between private/public?

If it's the second just say you don't need to. The first will be near impossible...

Answer 8

They are your parents, you are underage, and they will make the decisions for you.  I bet they are enjoying the quiet time.  I always did when my kids stopped talking to me.

Answer 9

learn more harder take more classess listen in class take more responsiblities

Answer 10

if your moving there might not be much you can do...

but if that's not the case,

tell that you love it there, all your friends are there, and you don't want to switch because being a teen sucks when you have to go someone new, with no one.

Answer 11

Tell them that if you switch schools your whole life will mess up and all your goals will become confusing. Tell them you need to stay at your current school because you already know the teachers and students and it will be hard for you to adjust to a new school.

Answer 12

You have to try and talk to your parents about how you feel again. I'm sure your parents wants whats best for you. And i know they can be as stubborn. If they still wants to insist that you switch school, then just don't answer them. You do what you feel is right. Then come enrollment time, go to your school and enroll yourself. Or yet have your teacher adviser talk to your parents about your decision. I know these since i used to be stubborn too... and when my mum insisted on a school i dont like, i have to let her think that everythings ok...until enrollment, i went alone and enroll myself. Of course my Aunt helps too. So when i get back home, my mum was furious but my Aunt had her pacified. Now since i am a mother. I know i don't want my child to go through what ive been through. Although my mum was mad but after a few days, she accepted the fact and she cannot do anything about it. It's always best that you have to talk to your parents about it, and how it makes you feel. I am sure your parents will understand. Decisions are always yours, You make your choice, You make your future. Parents will always be there to guide you and make sure you have a good future. They can be stubborn sometimes or yet a little bit over protective... It's just normal as they want the best for you. Just be firm and show them that you are a responsible adult. :)

Answer 13

you have to act like a grown up....give them a presentation or powerpoint or something......and show them the benefits of staying at your school...trust me...i do this with my mom and it works....make it like a meeting...and show them how this will benefit everyone

Answer 14

tell them your pregnant and the father is at the school you want to stay at.

then they'll have to make you stay.

Answer 15

give them plenty of reasons why you don't wanna leave and why you wanna stay. if they truly loved you, they would get the picture and see that moving schools isn't right for you. good luck!

Answer 16

Beg and cry.  

It takes away your dignity for a bit but parents hate to see their children sad.  It is an instinct.

Answer 17

They wouldn't be changing it without a reason....so what is really going on that you're not saying?

In any case, giving them the silent treatment  isn't going to help you much.  They are probably enjoying the silence.

Answer 18

be mature about it!!!!!!!!!!! Most of the time when u give them the silent treatmtent and start acting all spoilt...they wont change their mind. what u need to do is set them down an talk to them about how u feel and moving away from ur friends..and reasons why u dont wanna do it. and tell them that u hope they understand and what they would do if they were in ur shoe.

Answer 19

You need to have a real conversation with them. Don't yell, get mad, hold your breath, etc. Make sure you have some points to back up your argument. And when they talk listen, really listen, and explain why it is so important to you. They silent treatment is not saying why you want to say.

Answer 21
