I'm so confused (should I transfer?)

Post Reply New Topic

Hello, my name's Ian, I have AS, and I have a delima in my new high school. You see, I was never suppose to go to this high school but I choose to go here. . . heh, I'm not sure how to describe it, but I guess I should start at the begining.

Ok, I live in anougher district completely and was suppose to go to anougher school where just about every one of the people I once knew go now. My mom sent me to this school because she thought that it would be better as they keep to accomidation plans better. In my last school I had Terrets and it seriously cut my time in school. I had face spasms everyday and they hurt. Now then, I was sent here because my mom thought it'd be less stressful and there'd be better ways to deal with teh stress, but there are alot more sources because not many people understand me. People either are impassive, hate me because I'm differnt, or understand me. Though on a good note my best friend goes to this school and I've made plenty of friends here. I mean, I've made great friends but in my previous school, no one made fun of me. People stood up for me. I don't know if I should just transfer to the other school so I could be with my old friends again. But of course, if that doesn't work, it'll be harder to get back to the one I'm in now. I love the teachers here and they're very understanding of me taking preventative meassures to stress. I'm at a big point in my life. I'm pretty sure this one desision will decide if my high school life will be good or bad. For if I'm wrong, my life could get harder there. But then again, it could get better. I'd just like some help sorting this out.

I think what needs to be looked at here, is what is more important to you - the comfort of being around your old friends, or the benefits and advantages you will have at this new school? Then weigh the benefits and advantages against those available at the old school, along with how much trouble it will be to change back to the old school. One thing that helps me with decision making, is a pro and con list. On one side, list all the advantages of action A (stay at the current school) Then list all the disadvantages. Do the same with B, (Go back to old school). See which looks best. Hope that helps
