I really want to got to boarding school for high school but my parents think that it is too much for high school. It is around 50,000. But my screwed up brother came for a visit today and with him he brought back bad memories about how unhappy my childhood is and I just know that if I stay around hear much longer I will go crazy. You may say I'm exadriating but I'm not. I wish foster services could take me away from here. Sometimes I hate home so much I wont talk to my friends because if I did I would break out in tears. Life just aint fair anymore. My brother will be home next year and that will be tough enough on me. My two brothers are right now discussing drugs with there friends I was hopping they changed but they didn't and I am religious and i feel like god is telling me bad things are comming. ANd I need to be able to be away from all this alone and only with friends. Its a good school with lots of clubs and I'm pretty sure with my high test scores I could be accepted but I just don't knw how to get the money plz tell me ideas I'LL DO ANYTHING! I need to get away from here or I might end up like them I really wanna change the world one day but I need t be in a new enviroment to do that and not here where I feel like I'm dying every second. Plz help me with Ideas this school could change my LIFE!

This sounds like something you will have to discuss with your parents. I don't think anyone here can help you.
Is there a scholarship program?
This sounds like something you really want to do, though. Don't give up!

My parents don't understand me they are older parents and they both grew up in poor famlies and went to poor schools and dont think its worth the money just cus they wont admit their career paths are that bad

THey only have scholarships for people who need financial aid and we dont qualify because are family has 2 working parents

I was thinking if I came up with some of the money they'd chip in the rest
So far here is my money earning list
List:
1. Corn dattasling ($300-$400)

I have some ideas to get money, but i have no advice on the whole......"at home" thing. i should leave that stuff to professional counselors and what not. anyways, when i go to New York this summer,

i had to pay at least $200.00 for it and my parents paid the rest. to raise money i ended up asking for money for christmas, and my birthday. i also babysat, did carwashes with my friends and split the money with them, a bake sale, and i did as less shopping as i could. i ended up getting about $450.00!!!!! so it all worked out well.
P.S. (The rest of the money i didn't need, i gave to my local American Red Cross, and a charity

)

GOOD LUCK AND DONT GIVE UP!!
