I am a sophomore in a very competitive high school with around 300 students in each grade.I am so unhappy here and I hate school and find everyone so annoying.I am miserable 24/7 and find it difficult to participate in school activities,I don’t even know if I am going to want to go to prom next year.I have the option to go to a small all girls school next year where I think I would be way happier and enjoy school more.My only concern is that the academics will be less well regarded by colleges as my current high school.Tons of students every year at my high school go on to the ivy leagues and extremely selective colleges,but I’m not sure about the other school.Is my happiness worth good grades?Do you have any advice for me?
In my honest opinion I would transfer to the other school. It’s better to be a big fish in a small pond than a little fish in a big pond. In other words, you would shine more in the other school because you would be happier and more willing to participate in school activities.
Thanks I just don’t know if I would feel weird switching my junior year do you think that is fine?
Hmm I’m not too sure, maybe you should talk about it with your counselors but your happiness should be more important
Any other suggestions?
