Yep yet another problem with my mum and dad...
My dad keeps on threatining to send my to bording school, and it looks like he is now.
Well I dont want to go, I'm happy were i am!
I'm asking if any of you lot go there and is it good??? I am meaning a Weekly border.
Also I'd like to know is there any way I could persuade them to not make me go?
Thanks

be nice?

You could persuade them by phoning up the nspcc? .

I am trying to,
I'm suggesting this...
My dad hates pc's and he hates it when i'm on here so i'm suggesting to not go on the pc for a bit and only go on for 10mins at a time if i do go on!

Of course t'other sugestion is just not to go. Your parents really are limited in what they can do without breeching child protection laws.

I've threatened to skive all lessons and run away. But I live in neston and the bording school is in shrewsbury (look it up on a map )
And i've also said that i wouldnt do any work at all!!!

How about you say you'll go to bording school, cause tbh, it will cost them like £7000 a year to send you anyway? .

The only thing you will achieve with quiting lessons, running away or anything else of these things is that they will try to tighten the freedom you have.
If you don't want to go just tell them and talk about it with them. They will respect you more and might give you a bit more freedom because of this.
Also, you're only 13. Your parents will know what's best for you. If you disagree talk to them about it like I already said, but don't do anything stupid. You won't accomplish anything good with it.

1. This of course is a last resort
   
2. That wouldn't work, he lives too far away
   
3. Putting your foot down could also earn you respect for knowing what you want in life. It would backfire if talking hadn't been used forst though.

Doing dumb stuff will not accomplish anything. Kryptonate is correct, ask them why they want you to go, tell them you don't want to, don't get cocky and threaten them with skiving off. Look sad and slightly scared (don't overdo it, just sound a little nervous and upset).

Just tell them openly you don't want to go, you're happy where you are, that by sending you there's a chance that you won't settle and that your education could be compromised. Also try and stay level headed when talking to them, keep your argument logical, and try and show them how their choice is illogical.

If they say you have to go, I would accept it, however I also suggest that you stay quiet and nervous for a while, keep laying hints about how you don’t want to go.

I think the most valid argument you can use, for now, is that there's only 3 months left in the school year (assuming you are on a typical school year) and that you don't want to change schools in the middle of it.   

Middle of the year school changes have all sorts of downsides -- your grades could suffer if the new school is ahead in the material, it is easier to fit in and make friends when you are not the only new guy.  Whether that will be enough to change the plans of your parents or not I can't say, but at least those are issues they should recognize as real.  Threats to run away or not study wouldn't be. 

If they accept that now, then you are "safe" for the next six months, which is a lot of time.  Much could change by then.

If you end up having to go, I think there is a good possibility you will find that you like it much better than it seems now.

Other than the uniforms.. and the homo guys i've kept hearing about.. plus the bad caf food... baah.. its not that bad after all!! LOL.. i'm just joking... you never know until you try it... i suppose it wouldn't be the same as your old school.. but think about the bright side (if there is any *ahem*) you'd probably be getting a better education!! LOL

To be honest, its probably just an empty threat; however, to avoid causing anymore disagreements or arguing; I would suggest you follow your parents guidelines about the usage.

Believe me mwe99 it's not an empty threat.

So then, just do as they say, and you won't get sent.

Duct tape your self to the roof...

Is boarding school really that bad? I think it is an empty threat anyway

what is the boarding school called? My friend went to one in Shrewsberry.

If you want one nearer to home, Hammond School is quite near you, and its near me aswell

Yes yes, your bored in school aren't we all?

damn... what are they like... never been to one?
tell me ignorant or whatever but if they are like harry potters i would go without a second thought.

offtopic :
600th post

I dont think theyll end up sending you. My moms threatened to kick me out many a time but im still at home

* LittleK touches wood

Just say your sorry, and say "Ok" to everything they have to say, works with me

I still like Joe's solution .

I am trying to reinforce this btw, they're not going to send you. If they moan at you for spending money or anything, then they're being hypocritical, cause they'll have to spend a hell of a lot of money to send you to boarding school.

Also, surely going to a boarding school may be a good thing, you're taught really well there, and you'll probably do well in your GCSEs .

Nope I am defiantly going now, In easter
I've seen the forms and everything
1 week at a time of not comign on here

Chances are that the boarding school will have computers that you can use to come on here anyway .

any free time i get i'll be stright on here

Not the right one, the right one is of a LAN with no floor space so he is on the ceiling with his monitor stuck up there too.

my parents can't make me do anything, your parents have no control over that, to sent you away they would have to have your permission, other wise, what the hell are tehy going to do if you refuse to get in the car/train/plane, force you, that would be child assult

well tbh if any UK staff see any type of confrontation between adults and children they will and can have the power to prevent you from travelling and will let child protection people know and they will investigate.

actualy child assult cases have been won over events involving far less force

the "force" inflicted is not the only determination in such cases. And I'm sure that the cases you talk about were about much more than putting your child on a train every week to go to bording school.

Sorry for bringing back a old thread but...
I went to see the Bording school yesterday, It wasa ok but they are dedicated to sprts mostly+ They have a amazing PC's.
But the best bit is they have wireless internet alround the school
So mum and dad are going to get me a sony viao laptop
Can't wait but I will miss my friends

how about get good grades at wherever you are now, and if you just cant do that..then fake them.

I admit I'm terribly old compared to some of you, but do you realise school is important for your future, Scone?  Oh yes it might be sucky to have little free time, have to study a lot, are forced to attend school and take classes you might not like.. big deal, all of us are or were in the same boat you know. But it will enable you to persue the future you want, will enable you to get  a better job, with better payments. It's an investment in the rest of your life. You can have fun with your friends for years and years to come but those few years you spend in school compared to the rest of your life deserve a little more attention then faking grades. Besides the fact you shouldn't lie to your parents anyway.


Bording school doesn't seem too bad, and you'll easily make new friends while you can still keep in contact with your old friends. If it will help you to do better in school, it's definitely worth it.

I never said i did it i was giving him easy suggestions that are better than just not going to school at all.

And you thought it was bad....
seems really good, besides, stay in contact with messenger
i would go
