Wow...so here goes.

Most of you know about the situation with my dad, and how much I hate day-to-day life here. Well, I moved here to my aunt and uncle who insisted (rather forcefully) that I call them mom and dad...so really, it's my uncle. I'm sick of living here, sick of this area, sick of this place, and want to go home.

Looks like I've got my chance.

My hometown of Hays Kansas has a nice little neighbor--Russel. My mother now currently resides there, and is inviting back not only for the summer...but for my Senior year. I would end up going back to Hays High, and be pretty much living there, but would have my place of Residence in Russel. A place where I'm known, liked, hell even loved by friends I know. I remember every aspect of home, and couldn't imagine not wanting to be back with every inch of my being...but there are a couple problems.

First, being the fact that I moved away from my mom for a reason in the first place...a reason that seems to have been rectified, but I may be wrong. Making that mistake could cost me a helluva lot more than I want to lose, especially on my senior year.

I dunno...I'm scared, excited, but mostly worries. In addition to my old school comes the old classes--next year I have a pretty hefty schedule (AP Java, Honors English 11, AP English, AP Bio, Creative Writing 2, Scholars Bowl and Math Team class, Supercomputing) and I don't know what my old school offers. This would suck if I only got one or two of these classes.

Either way, it's something I really need to think on. I dunno, I guess I just wanted to tell you guys, because you really have been my crutch since I began living here. Post whatever, I suppose.

Yoshi, Can't wait to see you if you do decide to come back.

I'm not sure about all the calsses you put down, but I'm pretty sure that HHS has Honors English 11, AP English and Biology, and Scholars Bowl and Math Team class. I doubt it has supercomputing, but because I don't go there I can't be sure about it.

Not too sure about what else to say, but think hard about your decision and gool luck.

Stormie, do you think you could do some investigative questioning for me? It'd be a lot easier than me doing it myself. Get on AIM.

I sort of understand the position you're in. I've had to make a choice about where to live and I decided to move. It doesn't seem like I had as much to lose as you do but I'll tell you one thing. Good friends are more important than just about anything else. That's what finally convinced me to move, my best friend is like a brother to me and has been my crutch through more than anyone should have to be. I respect him more than anyone else I know. If your friendships can help you through any potential problems with your mother I say go for it. It may suck but you can take classes at a later time, or even skip them entirely depending on your college plans. A lot of the time you can CLEP out of classes if you know the subject well enough. That's probably not news to you but whatever

I say, if your friendships are good enough, go ahead and move. <cheesy>Follow your heart!</cheesy>

Okay, I don't really know a lot about the situation, but my opinion is that you move in with your mom. Even if the situation turns sour, at least you'll be around your friends with that comfort zone. From what I understand, at least.

ANyway to go home for the summer, or for a few weeks in the summer, and feel out the situation with your mom?

Definitely. Check out the situation this summer, and if everything's safe, move back. Your friends will be there for you if anything goes wrong, anyways.

Shintock has it dead on with those two quotes.

Do you really need to take every one of those classes? I assume your already into a college, and have decided where to go if you are going, and I'm sure you can take classes like those at that college. Plus honestly, having a super heavy schedule senior year sucks. I mean, it will help with college, keeping you in the habit of working hard, but its really not necessary. Check to see if you can take these classes in the future. And the SUmmer you spend at home should be the do or die factor.

Yeah, you might want to lighten up on a few of those AP classes. It's your senior year, relax, and have fun. Also, if things dont go so well living with your mom, you'll be having super hard courses in school that will also be draining your emotional and mental strength.

sounds like what i ran into when i moved in with my aunt and uncle but i just moved into a house with 16 other guys and a goat.:D so just move in with a some friends if every thing doesn't turn out right thats what i would do

AP Java here really isn't anything except for class work. AP Bio is going to be by the most awesome science teacher I've ever had. AP English is something I really want to take (I do NOT want to do Freshman Comp). That's another thing--do I want to take these classes in another area? I dunno. Hrmm...

I had an awesome Freshman Writing and Lit teacher- I learned more from him than from all of my high school english professors combined.

Another suggestion I would have would be to get involved in an extra curricular activity. Find a club to join if you havent already- it will keep you occupied, be fun, and look good on college applications. And again, if you continue to have problems, it will provide a outlet for you energy and frustration, and a means of escape from them. I was on the Tech Crew when I was in high school, the long hours of rehearsals and set/sound/lighting work were a lot of fun and they kept me from crossing paths with my mom.

Scholar's Bowl. Seriously, if the team that was there when I last left is the same team that's there now, then I'm going to be like, head of the team. :p

But yeah, I've got a few clubs to be joining, and yeah, they'll look good on college apps. I think I'll go to school there for my 101s though, since I actually can stand living there. Hell I love living there, what am I talking about?

So yeah, I'm going to go back and live with my mom, we already have everything set up really...it's just a matter of waiting, and trying not to get into a row with my dad while I do so.

Wait when you say your dad? Do you mean your uncle or your actual dad? (out of curiosity, if you mean your uncle, where is your real dad in all of this?)

Try going there for summer and see how it goes with your mum. If all seems well then go for it. Judging from your previous threads that i remember, missing out on those classes wouldn't really matter that much if it meant getting out of there but maybe i'm wrong. Good luck.

Yoshi,

You definately are the man for taking all of those AP courses! :p I'm taking two (in senior year): AP English and AP Government. I've just finished doing 2 chapters in my AP Govt book and probably have another 1 to do by the end of the week. AP English, I'm falling behind. But it's a fun course, plus I'm the only guy in my class! (twisted evil)!!

- my donation to this topic :p

Yeah, I'm talking about my uncle. Nobody knows where my real dad is.

AP Bio is probably one of the harder AP courses you can take, save Physics or Chem. The test is a *****. AP English is a lot of work. Much reading, then writing, you will be doing.

I took physics...that was insanely hard... AP Bio may be hard, but I need another science credit either way. AP English...well I love reading, and I love writing, so hey ;). Not to mention, no research paper. Woot!
