I've had a bad year at school, bad results, losing friends etc. It's literally been the worst year of my life. I don't want to sound like a teenage dropkick, but I've been so unhappy. I have depression, it's on and off, but it's gotten to the point where I'm just not happy anymore. Its not being treated either. I go to a single sex girls school, and next year it'll be my 13th year at the school, and I just want out. It's getting a bit weird, theres just too many females, it doesn't feel right anymore. I've always had alot of friends, but I'm finding that I'm disagreeing with more and more people since I've changed as a person.   Now I'm really only stuck with a few people that I'm close with and I never wanted to be confined to a certain group.   Because of this also I'm not really meeting any new people, and I'm not really seeing any guys on a regular basis which I would really prefer.   Now heres the deal, I've found a college I want to move to. It's co-ed (boys and girls), is not religious (my current school is catholic and I'm an Atheist), and it doesn't have a uniform.   I, in essence, have three different options:   1. Stay at my current school for the next year and finish   2. Finish at the college (kind of hard   3. Repeat yr 11 and then go onto yr 12 at the college , with the right subjects

I'm afraid that if I go onto the HSC that my emotional instability will screw it up again, like it did this year.     If you only have one year to go, I strongly recommend you stay at your current school. You never know, things may change a lot for the better, and you might learn valuable life lessons. If you still have a couple years to go, then move, but i really think you should just pull it out in your current school. You'll meet people later in your life, so don't waste your time repeating anything.    I understand what you mean about meeting people later on in  life, I get that, but I'm not the kind of person that can work in an environment that upsets me. When I am I do the work just because I have to, I don'r really put anything into it. And also I know nothing at my schools is going to change, I really doubt that it would. I always tell myself it will but it never gets any better. And when you say life lessons, what do you mean? I mean that it will teahc you to overcome these troubles you have. I mean, in the working world, you might have to work in an unpleasant environment which upsets you, but that doesn't mean that you change jobs, right? Besides, doing anything which upstes you can later on make you a stronger person. I still think you should stick it out. But it is your choice and if you feel like the only way is to switch schools, then do it, otherwise, defeat your fear! I have depression, I don't think that my school is going to fix that. In the working world if that happened, and I knew it was a permanent thing, I would quit my job and re-plan my career path. stinkerbell Posted at 9:08 pm on Oct. 10, 2008 Quote: from Muser at 8:57 pm on Oct. 10, 2008 If you really hate it so much, I'd go number 3, however, you may want to just stick it out and stay another year.
