How can I get rid of my hate of Boarding school?

Oh honey, I understand how much it has to hurt you.\n\nThe only way to get rid of hate is to try to understand. I'm sure your parents are trying to do what they think is best. Parents make mistakes. They aren't perfect. Have you told them how you feel? Maybe they don't realize that a "good" school isn't as important to your present or future as being with you is. Parents are under so much pressure to focus on "success" and they don't stop to think that success is on the inside and not on outwardly things. Or maybe there are other circumstances that make them think this will be good for you.\n\nThe school is trying to do what's best for you, also. I know you don't want to be there, but don't do it for them, do it for you. Struggles make you stronger and you can get through this. Don't focus on what you don't have. Focus on what you do have. You have parents who love you and you have a good education if you will allow it. Many children do not have nearly as much.\n\nMake friends if you haven't. Write your feelings down because you shouldn't keep them inside. Hang in there. It will get easier to deal with.

Make a list of their bad habits or traits that irritated you so much...\nRemember all the bad things about them and be glad you have another chance at happiness in life...\nThis is a blessing in disguise...\nI have been there and done that...\nIt seems terrible at first, but later on, you look back and think, what was I worried about...\nAnd you find yourself in a better place than before...\nBest of luck...

School is tough, but remember that once you graduate and leave you won't have to deal with them any longer.\n\nBe polite.  Say hello, ask them how they are, but you don't have to be any nicer than that to them.  Ignore them, and you'll get through.\n\nGood luck!

Don't be offended, but have you thought about taking anger management? Or maybe even a career as a collections agent? You seem to have a hair trigger, throwing things at somebody just because you don't like them? That is beyond rude, why not ignore them instead, because it sounds like you might end up in several fights once you're in the adult world, or at least very alone. Does the word *bully* ever get thrown your way? By-the-way, the teachers see how you treat people and that is why they can't stand you. I would say that maybe a reality check is or should be at the top of your to-do list. Good luck w/ your attitude adjustment.\nBrandy\n *added comment*\nI think you don't have a mom, because any mom would knock you to your a$$ for acting like that. TIME FOR BRAT CAMP IN THE MOST REMOTE CORNER OF THIS PLANET where nobody is subjected to being in the same state or country with you!

Well, you can, but you'd just be sending out more negativity into the world...and it WILL come back to you threefold.  Ultimately, you will be more hurt than the bullies will.  And, you will only be lowering yourself to their standard.  \n\nSo, you have to ask yourself, is petty revenge in the short term worth getting all that bad stuff sent back to you in the long term?\n\nBelieve me, I know the temptation.  I know what it's like to be bullied.  Rather than misuse magick in this way, a better thing to do would be to ask the Goddess for strength to deal with this, for wisdom to think of better solutions, for compassion for those who are teasing you.  Have you tried talking with a school counsellor?  Or the principal? If it is really out of hand, then they need to be stopped, but it is far better to do this through the proper channels.\n\nI urge you to make the right decision in this matter.  You may contact me if you wish.  Like I said, I know a bit about what you are going through.\n\n25 year old Wiccan

Please take it easy.  You really need to stop hating yourself.  You should talk to your counselor.

You're probably pretty young and not necessarily a bad person, you just need some help to deal with your anger. Talk to your school counselor, as soon as possible. Your'e obviously acting out in unhealthy ways and this could lead you to a life in prison or worse. It's not worth it, and you'll be sorry if you don't learn ways to stop this behavior now. :(

Please ignore the extraordinarily bitter answer from the person who attended a UK boarding school.  I'm sorry he had such a bad experience, but American schools are nothing like British boarding schools.  Most American boarding schools are prep schools, offering more advanced classes and better quality instruction than day schools.  They are open to all good students, regardless of socioeconomic background.  Typically 30% or more of students are on financial aid, and the average grant is close to the full cost of tuition.  These students were not "sent away."  They are some of the brightest and most motivated students in the country.\n\nI attended boarding school at Chatham Hall in Virginia, and it was a wonderful experience.  Pros included a world-class education that prepared me for a competitive academic career at a top-5 American university, a very diverse student body from all classes and all over the world, very small classes, teachers with PhDs instead of just education degrees, a beautiful campus, horseback riding lessons for gym, free trips to places like NYC for school activities like Model UN, a great social network to help me in my career, and some of the best friends I'll ever have.  Cons were living 1000+ miles away from home (though that was exciting most of the time) and having to do much more homework than my friends who went to day school.\n\nBoarding school is not for everybody, but it is a great experience for those who are ready to leave home and live in a structured or semi-structured environment.  You will probably get homesick at some point, but you will be around lots of others who are also far from home and that may help you cope.  My first year roommate came from Korea, and when we felt homesick during the first couple months we would sit on the floor of our room eating noodles and telling stories about the extremely different places we called home.  By the end of the year our school was like a second home and we didn't get homesick anymore.\n\nAmerican boarding schools also tend to be less structured than schools in the UK--you will NOT be locked up and prevented from having a life, though there will be rules.  This isn't Uppingham we're talking about, but it's not some hippie commune either.  If you want to leave overnight or for the weekend you need your parents to phone in permission, but that is no different from living at home.  If you're leaving campus for the afternoon or day you sign out from your dorm.  Typically you have to be back by study hall or room check on weekday evenings.  And you may think that having study hall sucks, but believe me you will NEED the time to finish all your work.\n\nMostly, I had a great time at boarding school.  I met interesting people, stayed up all night with my friends, and learned a lot.  And I wouldn't trade the experience for the world.\n\nUnfortunately, the better boarding schools will not let you come second semester unless you are a super student and you have extenuating circumstances.  For example, my school took in several Katrina victims.  Otherwise you will need to apply the winter before for entrance during the fall semester.  Typically schools will not accept seniors, though some will accept PG (post-graduate) students.\n\nTry looking at schools on http://www.boardingschoolreview.com , where you can see school videos and read about the application process.

You don't. That's just the way they are. Unless you want to be ugly and unliked. Maybe it will die down once you get out of school. Maybe.

Contact the local school board office.  Don't expect them to be helpful, because they will hate homeschoolers and feel no urge to help.  Don't leave until you get your answers, but stay polite.

You know, as someone who hated high school (in the 80's), I can tell you - what those people think about you won't make one bit of difference after you all part ways. Don't bend over backwards trying to "be cool" and stop worrying about the popular kids. They're all just as insecure as anyone else. \n\nDo be yourself. Working out is good - if it's for good reasons, like wanting to be healthy. Don't force yourself to give up things you love to join a sport or other activity that you'll hate. For Pete's sake, this is your youth. Live it in a way that will make you happy - not other people.\n\n(P.S. I hung out with the "geeks" and the "cool kids." Guess who I liked better?)

You are unhappy because you doubt yourself and you are afraid to go to a new school -- it's totally natural, you're just human.  \nEven though you were unhappy at your last school, at least you knew where you stood and what to expect.  You're afraid of the unknown now.\n\nWhat you need to do now is to forget about your old school, and be happy about your new school.  If you are shy then start looking into activities at your new school that you are interested in (yearbook, sports, etc.) where you can make new friends and be happy with what you're doing.  \n\nAlso, please realize that even though adults seem like they don't have these problems, many people have gone through the same thing at your age!  Don't worry, you'll get through it!

Well, for one, it's not hate...  No one is out to get you.  If you have kids, seek assistance through your state if you can't manage on your own... If you dont have kids, try a pell grant and go back to school, there is always help out there, you have to know where to look and have the right attitude.

you never COMPLETELY get rid of it but you OVERCOME it by FORCING yourself out of your thoughts and VERBALIZING with females.\n\nStart NOW, practice a LOT and gradually proceed with prettier and more "popular" girls.\n\nGoogle "conversational skills" and find a guide that makes sense to you. This is a SKILL that can be learned-so get to it.

It seems like this really isn't your problem directly. Where did NY fit in? Dunno, best bet, stay in school and don't worry so much, seems like you're just a kid. Good Luck :)
