I would go to the other school. You can always go see your friends after school or whatever. If you don't take this opportunity, you might regret it one day when your filling out your college applications.  |

go to that school for it will benefit you. if your friends are really friends then ya'll can still stay in touch with each other and get together sometimes. i know it's hard for you but believe me education is what you need to make it in life, who knows going there you will meet new friends, the ones you know now were new to you at one time right? i quit school and i regret it, i'm 54 years old and i have no trainig whatsoever to do anything. wish you the best sweetie.

people put to much emphasis on going to ivy league colleges and such when the only thing good to goto an ivy league college for its 1.medical 2.law or 3. philosiphy, thats it, jobs really dont care if you goto a community college or havard, as long as you can do the job and are the best qualified  |

I say you should do what you want, just make sure that you are doing the right thing for college. In 10 years you probably won't have the same friends. I would focus on education, you can meet more friends.  |

I would choose the other school. You will make more friends, and if your friends in the other school really do care, they will keep in contact with you. I think it's better to have a good career, for it makes who you are, and what you are, and you will have even more friends. Hope you make the descision that's right for you though.  |

hmmm, aunty, tough choice.. i'd say i'd go to the second school just because i like to learn and be with people who i can have intelligent convo's with, but i'd miss my friends just as much and probably be miserable, it took me nearly 3 years to fall in with my crowd and i wouldn't give em up for anything, but i know we'd stay in touch if i were faced with your desicion and chose the other school, but ultimately go with what your heart tells you,  |

I think that you should take the opportunity to go to the ib program and learn more. Your friends will sill be there and you will make even more. Education is so important and getting into good colleges gets harder and harder all of the time. You can't make your friends the focus of your entire life because when you get out into the real world they're going to do their own thing as well and they're not going to let hanging out with you be a priority over going to the school of their choice, and they're not going to help you get a good job and have all of the things in life that you need. It will all work out..  |

lol I was accepted to... argh what's the name... ugh it was some really really fancy school that cost a lot of money that my parents don't make in a year. I was on their scolarship program though - it would have guaranteed me a lot of priveleges once I graduated but I had a lot of friends at my old school. I finally decided when I learned how much my friend wanted to go, so instead of taking it myself I gave the position to my friend and stayed at my old school. Good timing however cuz the school afterwards went under a lot of persecution for child molestation cases, but I mean the choice is yours. Sometimes you have to take what you think is right, if I had to remake the choice would I have chosen to go? No, because I'm content right where I am taking the hardest classes my school has to offer rather than the classes they had. Sometimes YOU have to make the decision and you can't rely on others. If you're having this debate then talk it over with your parents, but the thing is at the school I'm at now I got a lot more extracurricular experience which also looks good on your college application while at the other school it would have been a name (an excellent name). So do what's in your heart but if your friends aren't going to support you with your decision maybe they aren't your friends at all. My friends would have stuck by me had I left but if you're friends are only going to be there because you're there with them it isn't a friendship. Best of luck and go for what you feel, and if you try and don't make it in maybe it's for the best but always keep your mind open for new experience. Love n' Stuff =-bootz-=  |

but... don't make the choice and live to regret it. You may have great memories at the other school with new friends, live your life with no regrets nothing you seek forgiveness for. Learn from your mistakes and get back up so you can move on. =-bootz-= |

but - lol i think i'm closed to finished posting on this one. It really doesn't seem like you want to go to the school, you talk about how hard it would be for you. Fact of the matter is you're going to try a lot harder at something you want to do rather than something you don't want to do. Most adults are going to tell you go do something for your future but if the school is already interested in you - you aren't doing so horribly at the moment now are you? Normal high schools offer honors and AP classes and in my experience in comparing my workload with the workload at my friends school I actually did more work than he had done. But check out both and do what you feel is right because letting someone else choose for you is going to be a regret as well. Go with your heart and do what you want to do - you live this life once and you may as well live it to a way you find satisfactory (or in your case very above average *winkz*). =-bootz-= |

well i don't think you would've wasted a whole year, you would've learned a lot made a bunch of new friends, and if you did fail you could go back to your other friends, |

Your friends will still be in the same city wont they? Cant you see them after school and on weekends. Not only that, you are going to make other friends in IB. If these friends at your old/current school are really important to you and you to them, then you all will make a combined effort to hang out as much as possible. I met my best friend when I was 4 years old. I moved to another state when I was 14, and we still have remained best friends. I think if we can survive states, you can probably survive schools. If it's any comfort to you, I am going through a situation quite similar to yours now. My dad was recently promoted and now that Im not in high school anymore, my family and I had to move away. This was just a month ago and Im still heart broken. I miss my friends more and more every day. BUT I hold hope that once college starts in the fall, I will hopefully make new friends. We'll see...Until then my heart is in seattle.  ( Good luck, do whats right and follow your heart.  |

Dear Confused. You need to look within about what would really make you happy. I personally would think to myself that my true friends would alwayz be there for me. Also thinking that at the new school I would make more friends. So I would double my friendships and have a chance to have my resume rockin later on. So you sit down and think of what is more imporant to you and what would make you happy and i wish you all the luck.  |
