Sorry if this turns out to be depressing, but I seriously need to rant about my life.

 

First of all, my life situation is going horribly. I'm getting no where with the high school I want to go to. I want to go to a public high school, which is 30 minutes from my district, which sucks because I cannot go to that school because I do not live in the district where that school is. The reason I want to go to that high school is because all of my friends go there. Plus, all the public high schools in my district are crappy. Also, my parents want to send me into a private high school and all of them are pretty pricey. Here's the other thing though, my mom is going to look at the schools and decide for me since she "knows" what I like and what I don't like.

 

Which leads to my next point. What the hell do my parents know about me? Almost everyone at my school knows me better than my parents know me. My concern about them chosing the high school for me is that they have no clue which high school I want to go to, and then they'll choose the wrong high school, and I'll be stuck in a crappy situation for 4 years.

 

Also, school work. Augh. I could rant about this all night long. I get so much stress from it, I get so many tests I have to study for, I also have to take a test to get into a private high school, and also I have to write down high school applications, and also I have to do an essay for English and US History. Whenever I show the term paper to my dad, he makes me do some edits, and then he makes me do even more edits. For example, yesterday for the paper when I was making corrections for the rough draft from my English and History teacher, my dad made me do some edits. Then he made me do more edits. On top of that, he made me do even more edits. He made me go through so many edits yesterday.

 

Also, I'm stressing over my friend. I've mentioned this before already, I believe, but she's still making a very strong push to Punihou and Iolani in Hawaii and I'm not exactly sure what I should say to her without making her get mad at me or anything like that.

 

So yeah, this is just a rant.

Kudos to you buddy, even if you don't get into the highschool your friends are going to I'll asure you that you can make new friends.

And with school work, just persevere and you'll get through it. I promise you that the effort will be worth it.

I would suggest that if you want control over what school you want to go to, take matters into your own hands. Yes you may not be able to go to the ones your friends go to because school districts are stupid like that, but you can research for yourself the private high schools in your area. Find one you like, and then try to sell it to your parents. Give them reasons why the school is good, would be good for you and even for them. Then they may take your preference more seriously.

 

And I feel you on the workload. I had to write 6 papers that were 5+ pages long and I have two more I have to write by the end of the semester Editing is a b****, but it does help you write better. Try not to get too stressed over it. The more you practice writing and editing, the better (and faster ) you get at it. And let me tell you, those are going to be a vital skills when you move onto college.

Strange. You must be the first and only teenager to feel this way.
