tell them you'll pay for it.

Visit a Navy recruiter.  Ask him all the questions you like.\n\nThen don't believe a word he says - he is just there to get you to enlist, and he is not responsible for anything you think he promised.  You will not necessarily get the school he promised, or to be stationed at the place he promised, or to stay with your friends as he promised.

I used to go to a boarding school and boy did I hate it! My boarding school was particularly strict so most of the time we couldn't go anywhere and stayed at school for periods of 4-5 weeks before a 2-day return home. It was horrible! We had no form of entertainment and knew little of what was going on outside the school walls. We were punished for the slightest of things---eating in the dormitory, using electric items, showering after 5pm, wearing sleaveless clothing or shoes without 'backs'. We were a set of bored boarding broods that had little to do but study, envy, and drool at the footballers we managed to get a look at in the local teen newspaper. Thank God, I'm finally FREE!

Well i guess you already have your answer, NO.  Sorry if it isn't the answer that you wanted.  Your parents have reasons for what they do, and I am sure they have good reasons for not changing your school.

Tell your parents and your school/university authorities immediately...you can help someone else from going thru the same ordeal!!!

Try and get a full scholarship!! my parents always have told me that I'm going to have to go to school where the $$$$ is.

yes, just go to your home school of residence and get an interdistrict transfer form and get the school to release you.  Then go to the school of your choice and have them sign the form saying you can attend.  Ultimately, it is up to the schools to release and accept the transfer. It is doable.

It's great that your parents are encouraging you to seek further education.  You say you love them too much to hurt them.  That's hard to deal with but you must.\n\nYou know what you want from your education.  You want to seek it in a larger community.  Maybe the larger school offers more of what you are looking for education wise.\n\nAre they saying they won't help pay for tuition if you don't go to the smaller school?  If that's not an issue, research the school you want to attend, make arrangements for a campus visit, and sit down and share this with your parents.\n\nA good admissions advisor will help your parents understand the reasons for your wanting to attend this school.\n\nIf they won't pay for your education anywhere else, there are still Pell grants, scholarships, and student loans.  You could also apply for work study and earn money that way.\n\nIt's your education and your future.  Go for it.

If you really want to go, and you're going for the right reasons (the top education, not to get away from parents), then make plans to fund your education on your own.  Find out about loans, grants and scholarships.  If you don't get help from your parents, you may have a good chance at grants and scholarships.  \n\nThis is about you becoming a full person.  Pursuing life, independently and for good reasons, is a good way to grow as a person. It's also a good reason in itself to try.

Hi again. Apart from trying to persuade them that you want to attend this school, maybe is a good idea to find a job and contribute by yourselft to your studies, so as to cover even a part of the expenses.\nThis is what I did some years ago since my parents were not able to pay for my studies...and I did not regret at all.\nIf you want to do something, be sure that you will find a way to do it!!

Just give out your school number and/or school email address.   You can politely tell them that it's the best way to get in touch with you as you check them several times a day.  I can't believe parents actually ask for your personal number!

Use logic and build an argument for your cause, kind of like a lawyer would. Don't let the fight get emotional from your end. Approach them rationally and ask if you can sit down and talk and then present your case. Explain that you think you are old enough to chose for yourself and give examples to prove it. \nSometimes it is hard for parents to let go a little. They want to protect their kids and keep them safe and it can be hard to let your kid make his or her own decisions and learn on their own. \nGood luck.

As long as its ok with your parents and he seems like a good person, I think you should go with him. He might also help you get to know more people, which will probably be helpful since you're in a new school.
