How to convince my parents to switch my school?

0

Ok, so here’s the deal. I’ve wanted to switch schools for 2 years. Around March, I began to ‘lie’ to my friends that go to the school I want to switch to that my parents were considering switching me, even though I knew it wasn’t even a thought in their heads.
Well, my friends were extremely eager. Until I finally told them the truth I haven’t even confronted them about it. But one friend offered to help me come up with a ‘plan’ to help me switch schools. So, we did that and about 4 days ago, the plan went underway.
What I did was write a note, and then I left it on the table. My father had read it and confronted me, saying that he didn’t see an issue. I thought it was a FOR-SURE that I was going to the other school, so I quickly texted all of my friends and told them I was switching.
BUT THEN I figured out that it wasn’t a for-sure. My dad talked to my mom about it and she needed a little more convincing.
So, I need help. I’m not even sure if my reasons are legit, and if they aren’t I don’t have any other reasons to throw at her. If it helps these are my reasons:

- A ton of my friends are there. Most of my friends go to that school than the one I’m at right now.
- They have a way better sports program.
- It’s a much larger school, by the # of students and yard wise.
- I’m not well liked at my school. Not bullied, but it could very well lead to that.

Not a lot, but like I said I can’t think of much else.

Try looking up the school's achievements and exam stats. Maybe if your dad is convinced it's a better school rather than just a school with your friends he'll let you go. also look at the classes they offer and the clubs and things. Tell your dad about the opportunities the other school holds and how you can't get these at your school and it could greatly impact your college application or career

Write more notes explaining what my friend Rarkmaa stated above, and be mature about it, come from the approach "you prefer" and it's all about your "future" and "career" in that certain thing you like that they teach better.The less whining you do the better, the less you talk and more you stare, the better...because too much words may become annoying. remember.. be "mature"
