Um..anyone have any suggestions of what I can do?
So...my parents want to take me out of school May 24 but school ends in June. I want to stay the rest of the school year but they won't let me...I'm frustrated and I can't help but cry about it. How can I try to convince them? Because there's a fun field trip, parties, a school dance, my friends, karate which I never want to leave, not even for a day. :(

That sounds frustrating. I remember being in a similar situation when I was your age and in school. How do your parents normally respond to you when you ask them for something? Can you explain to them what you have told us?
@HopieRemi
They usually ignore my opinions and just do what they want to do...it almost feels as if I have no choice for things in my life. Even if they are small. I tried to explain to them how these activities are really important to me, especially since I will be home-schooled next year and I want to make good memories. My mom usually takes things I say into consideration and then asks my dad on his opinion, but he always just says "no". And when I ask why he just says "Because I said so and I'm the parent"
@stampy83
That is horrible, it leaves no room to reason. I am sorry to hear that you have to deal with that. I can understand why you want to make memories, especially with this being your last year in the physical school. Have you spoken with your teachers?
@HopieRemi
No...but that would be a good idea though
@stampy83
Yeah! When do you see the teachers again?
