Question

ok, so earlier i posted that i wanted to go to scotland for boasrding school and how to ask my parents...i did everything u guys told me, i researched, i called the school..and i told them everything...but they said flat out no!

we can afford it and everything and i really want to go! why wont they let me? they no im not happy here! its unfair, they let my older sister go but she turned it down...i really want this...any ideas on how to change there mind?

Answer 1

maybe they dont have money bud. the economy is bad right now, so just wait a while then ask again

Answer 2

OMG  you sound so much like I did at that age!  I hated where I went to school, I hated my classmates, I hated living in the US.  I wanted adventure, I wanted to travel.

You may just be a bit less mature than your sister.  There are all kinds of factors that might be figuring into this, that do NOT involve money.

Keep your cool, learn to deal with whatever it is that you are hating.  Cope with your own issues, because, remember, whatever problems you have will follow you, no matter where you run away.  Even Scotland.  Why Scotland, anyway?  (I missed the first question).

Maybe it's just not the right time for them to let go of you.  You will probably get more out of it if you wait until you are in College, anyway.

Answer 3

maybe they'd rather have you closer to home...

aka... not across the ocean, in scotland!

i'm guessing your best bet is to compromise and find a boarding school in the U.S. that you'd also like. Then ask your parents again.
