I'm not flunking, I need advice.

windsurfer326 Posts: 49 Joined: 2004/09/02	2004/09/09, 12:22 AM Welcome to a new start to school...... And NO I'm not flunking school or anything to that extent, well, it's sorta like this: I don't have a car (Yea, I'm one of those broke 18 year olds that's still trying to beg for money..lol) and so my mom has to drive me (I've got a drivers license.. I'm only missing a car!) to school. There's one school which will take her 45 mins to drive to, this school is also where all my friends are. The other school will only take her 7 mins to drive there, but I'll be a new student... Things get complicated here because my mom doesn't want to drive for 45 mins everyday back and forth, but she doesn;t want me to go to the new school because she thinks the kids there are too "noisy and troublesome". Any1 have a suggestions for which school I should get to?!

windsurfer326 Posts: 49 Joined: 2004/09/02	2004/09/12, 10:30 PM Well here;s the problem once again... I CAN'T catch a bus because it'd be like a half hr walk to get there and my mom won't agree with that because she's "Scared that some one might abduct me":( None of my friends live even NEAR where I live.. (All you canadian residents, I think you'll know how far vancouver and rich mond is ) But mi teacher lives near my place... Does anyone think that it'll b a good idea?

windsurfer326 Posts: 49 Joined: 2004/09/02	2004/09/13, 10:47 PM a bloke?! omg plz... I'm a girl, I'm a girl, I'm a girl... I dunno, but when ure a girl and ure mom worries like mad about u, then you probably can't go anywhere near public transport... Yea I asked my teacher, he said "yea, that's fine with me, be there 8:30 am morning, sharp, waitin for u at the door." My only problem is how to wake up?!?! Now my ONLY teeny tiny problem is that my mom will be out of town for a few weeks, and my teacher won;t b drivin me 2 skool until next week... Do you think it'd b a good idea to take my mom's car even though I havn't been drivin for like... 3 years but I still have a valid car license? (I'm suppose 2 renew it or something every few years) Thanks for all the help!!!:big_smile:

millenia Posts: 133 Joined: 2004/04/03	2004/09/18, 07:31 AM Yeah take the car, just be careful and maybe if you say to your mum when she comes back "hey guess what i used ure car to get to school and it's still on one piece!" then maybe she will trust you and get you a car?..or ground you for eternity...depends on the parents i guess..my school was about 10 mins from me and through a lovely park in which was nice to wlak to every morning...sadly my school looked and felt like going into a mental hospital :(

firemansam Posts: 147 Joined: 2004/08/20	2004/09/20, 03:42 AM grade 7 is the same as first form or first year of high school, down under we just call it year 1 (starting) to year 12 (finishing). Why isnt your teacher driving to school for a week? Good luck with the car
