The reason I want to switch is I go to a only boys schools and some are really gay but its too embarrassing to say that and it's a very igh class and it was just luck that got me in there and amost everyone bullies me. Plus I just don't fit in the school. I have this great school in mind and I have been asking my mom for months but she is just being stuborn and ignoring me and I had a deal with her when I go to camp she will decide I have camp in 3 days. How do I make sure she will say yes??

How are your grades? Do you have friends? Have you joined clubs at school? Why did you choose to attend this school in the first place? Can you imagine what your mom might say if you don't like the new school after a few months?

If you are bullied at this school, you will undoubtedly be bullied at the new school.

Why do they bully you? And how?

I didn't choose to go to this school my mom did and didn't give me a say and she said if I didn't like the school she would lit me switch but she lied most of my grades are good but like everyone I have my weak subjects and I often get Fs in them

I don't think ill get bullied @ my new school because mosy of my friends from my elementary school went there

They bully me verbally and sometimes kick and punch I can fight back but they are big in numbers and I'm only one me

Have you ever reported the bullying? It sounds like you never gave this school a chance. I'm not hearing anything good about it at all. Is the only reason you want to attend the other school to be with your friends?

I am an ex-teacher, retired with a career in Mining Engineering. Have you thought about being honest with your Mom? About the gay boys?
I would be honest with her, and tell her all about it, and why you want to change. All she can say is "no". Good luck.

No, this is not like everyone, almost no one gets F in any subject, they may get C's but not F's, it means you are not doing well for some reason and it means you are not getting good grades.

That is too late for now but all grades above C would be way to prove to mom.
