I've Come to a roadblock and i need some help...Old Life:The reason why i say "Old life" is because i have a chance to do what i've been doing all my life. Live the current life i live in by playing video games and scoring bad marks in school and hanging out with bad friends doing bad things. Im going to grade 12 next year and that way i'll be going to grad with all my friends from grade 1.New Life:Im moving to the city which will be 35 mins away from the current school i go to. Ill be living in a apartment with myself and parents just down the hallway if i ever need anything. I have a chance of going to a newly built school that opened in spring that transfered all there students from there old school. Now i want to prove to my parents that i can score high marks in school and i can but my current school is holding me back. I also want to whip myself into shape and maybe score a girlfriend for grad which im very capable of. But i donno which path to take ( Making friends sometimes can be hard for me)New or Old?

In any event, this a strange set-up I am unfamiliar with.The new school won't help you, but maybe the new atmosphere will.Good luck and work hard! Yes 2 apartments same building... its going to cost $1100 a month for us vs. $3000 for the current house we live in :P

I think there's some confusion. I think 25 Gunz is saying that he'll be living in an apartment seperated from his parents. In other words, he will be living just down the hall, away from his parents and on his own.
...right? :confused:

A lot of people find change difficult, but, if you can work yourself past this now, you'll be able to do anything you put your mind to later on, I'll give you a few examples from my times:1. At primary school (5 - 11, not sure what they call it outside of the UK) I was bullied, so I had to choose: easy path to a secondary (high) school where I knew everyone, but in all likelyhood would be bullied more, or a new school and a new start where I would have the opportunity to make new friends... in the end, I took the path less travelled and went to the different school to everyone else, I knew nobody, but, I quickly made friends and got on well there.2. After college, I really had no idea what I wanted to do, I started uni because I thought that was what was probably the acceptable thing to do, but quite frankly, I was bored there and going out of my mind, I didn't know what I wanted to do, except that I'd always wanted to be in the forces, so, I thought what better time than now to go for it... nobody thought I could make it, because it was the path less travelled, I made it and now, almost 9 years later, I'm at the end of my contract and leaving again.3. As I'm leaving the forces, I'd always thought about living and working overseas... it's just not really the done thing, so people think I'm messing about when I say that's what I'm doing, but, I'm currently in the process of emmigrating to new zealand, and I will make it because, what it takes is what I'll do!What I'm saying here is: you have the strength of will, we all do, the only real question is are you gonna be a sheep all your life and just do what everyone else does? Or are you going to take control of your own destiny and build yourself a better future? You have the choice, it's one only you can make, from experience... the decisions you don't make are the ones you'll regret the most, and by looking at what you've written, you've made your decision, you're just looking for the strength to follow it through, well, we each have a path, and none of us can live anothers life, but, what I can say is: don't just do what's expected of you, do what feels right for you The hardest choices we make are the ones that will mold us into the people we have yet to become... so, who do you want to be?Hope this helps
