Answer 1

Your parents want to raise you. That is their job, not the job of a boarding school. Be glad that they love you enough to keep you at home, where you belong until you are ready for college or adult life.

Answer 2

If the boarding school in question offers you a better education than you are now getting, and will enhance your chances for success in college, ask your father to accompany you on a campus visit.  The admissions officer(s) and faculty you meet will speak with you and your father, and present the school's strengths.  Perhaps that will change your father's mind.

Warning;  be sure you know what you are getting into.  Most boarding schools have far more restrictive rules than  teenages are accustomed to.

Answer 4

How old are you?

While some parents are fine with the idea of sending even elementary kids away to boarding school, others are not so comfortable with the idea, especially before a certain age. Part of it is going to be that you are still a child and they had expectations of raising you until you were ready to go live on your own. And when you think about it, what's the difference between going off to boarding school or going off to live with another family for the school year? You are still their child and they want you to be there.

Part of their current resistance may just be your whole viewpoint--wanting to go to meet new people and have fun just isn't a reason most parents are going to say, "Oh, well, of course, honey! You want to have more fun! Let's send you away right now!"

Now that you hopefully have a better understand about a parental point of view, have you asked your dad why he won't let you? Have you explained in any way how boarding school would benefit you? (And sorry, making new friends by being sent away and having fun just aren't real long-term benefits. Neither is not waking up in your bed.)

Answer 5

I suggest coming up with some more mature reasons like the educational opportunities provided, or maybe start by asking your dad WHY he won't let you. He might actually have a good reason.
